Ok, guys and gals, I have TWO older S&W revolvers I am trying to identify. 1. Tentatively identified as a hand ejector second model, appears to be nickle plated to my untrained eye, right side of barrel is marked " S & W D.A. 45", left side of barrel "SMITH & WESSON". Inside the crane is "2789"...

This is the last of my Model 66's, and I really hate to see it go, but times are hard for some of us, and I need the cash, so NO TRADES , This firearm is in excellent condition, I am not the original owner, I purchased it about six years ago, and used it for my annual re-qualification for...

I have one in .44 Spec/Magnum, had it for better than twenty five years, and couldn't be happier with it. It is my understanding that if you get a good one, hang on to it, but if you get a bad one, junk it! There is no in-between, and one cannot be "fixed" if it is a bad one.

I carry a SIG, which has no safety, one in the chamber, hammer down. First shot is double action, follow-up shots are single action. When I was carrying my CZ, it also had one chambered, hammer down, safety OFF ! With either pistol, it's draw, point, pull trigger! Practice till it becomes...

I got one from a friend of mine in Florida, he had it for twenty five years and never shot it, last year he ran a little short on cash, and I bought it, with the proviso that if I ever wanted to get rid of it (fat chance !) he would buy it back. Beautiful revolver!

27 out of 33 - I'm good with that. Learned a bit, too.

As a young'un, I spent many summers on my uncle's farm, sort of forced servitude, and we had many occasions to eat groundhog, fried up tasting like ham, only a little gamier, but enough horseradish and it was fine. As far as eating cat, I spent a few years in northern Italy, and was told that...

I’ve got a Famous Trails Night Vision device, which appears to be in brand new condition. The Model Number is FT-1000, complete with Warranty Registration Card, a zippered nylon carrying case, Instruction Manual, lens polishing/cleaning cloth, and the outer cardboard case, all in excellent...

Hello all, new guy here. Been hanging out on the FALFiles for years, and have a couple of S&W model 66's for sale, and it was suggested that I list them here also. I have a nice S&W Model 66 - 2, 3 inch barrel, round butt, that I hate to part with, but priorities dictate that something has got...
