Sent mine back twice adam.....I bought a BG .380 about three months ago. On the first range trip it had failure to do anything. It wouldn't run at all. I sent it back to the factory and they replaced the extractor and extractor spring. Ejection was better but it still had feed problems. I sent...

Good to hear That's good to hear. Ellsworth AFB was an operational missile base for about 30 years. The missile wing is no longer there. In three decades those parkerized M15's were handled by an untold number of people.

Missile Combat Crew From 1986 to 1989 I was a Missile Combat Crew member at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota. All 15 Launch Control Centers had a pair of Smith and Wesson Model 15's that were parkerized. When a new two-man crew came in to relieve you they would take custody of the two sidearms...

Your 48 is a beautiful classic that cannot be easily replaced. I think you would regret letting it go.

The asking price is way high. In fact, it is so high that I would be embarrassed to post. I do like the idea of a vintage Smith in LNIB condition though. What ammo does yours like?

The pin must have gone away during the -3 production run. If you use a search engine and search for the Smith and Wesson Model 64-3 you will get pics of guns with pinned barrels. If yours, and the one I am considering, both are missing the pin then a mid-production run change is the only real...

I have had phone contact with a gunsmith that is selling someone else's 64-3 with a 3 inch heavy barrel and a round butt. I have NOT laid eyes on this gun. The guy tells me that it is in "LNIB" conditon with box, papers and cleaning brush. The owner also left a speed-loader in the box. All...

I may have read the "spun off" wrong. Oops! I apologize. I will let Jack Webb know that I was wrong. He can be very intimidating.

Dragnet started many years before Adam 12. It didn't "spin off" from any tv show. In fact, Dragnet originated on radio as a drama series before making the jump to tv. I had to correct you on this, otherwise, Jack Webb will rise out of his grave on Halloween and come looking for you. Chuck...

Win: Check out this great article on the history of the Chief's Special. I think the answer to your question is yes and no. It may have been made as a Chief's Special before the 36 model number was started. http://www.snubnose.info/docs/Model_36.htm

A local gunsmith (sales are a secondary business) bought 25 Model 66-1's from the state of Arkansas. I was in his shop, with gun money in my pocket, and he brought me the three best from which to choose. I don't have pictures yet of the my new purchase because the gun is dirty. The state didn't...

I have decided against the 28-2 in the pawn shop. Thanks to all for your input. Many of you have good-looking weapons that you found at great prices. I usually buy mine new and over pay. Thanks again.
