I've owned several .25's in my the last 5 or 6 years. First one of my own, not my dad's, was a Colt 1908 Vest Pocket Blued in finish and was made is 1912 I believe I dated it at the time. Great little gun that shot excellent and in good shape, all matching numbers, and only flaws was the the...

Yeah I'm not worried about nickel plating it. The pawn shop I bought it from just simply did not know no difference between nickel & stainless steel apparently. No big deal there. I'm not worried about the exact shipping date, just a rough estimate is fine, so 1986 works. I might look online...

I will post pictures later, but I just remembered I had a pair of grips that I bought from an auction I attended last year, and had no clue what kind of revolver they fit. Just pulled them out and low behold they were original S&W grips and looked like they'd fit the 681, so I tried them on...

Thank you for clearing all that up. Yes it is Double/Single action, my bad. Also I took the Grips off and the proper serial number for the gun under the grips is AJR705x (x replacing the last number). What is the number in the yoke and also on the side of the butt under the grips (the number...

I just got my new to me 681 no dash, out of layaway the other day. It is a true double action .357 mag and does not have the "M" on the inside of the yoke, like i hear some people talking about, whatever that is for? I paid $479.99 before tax, which equated to like $512 I believe it was after...

Some may consider it a difficult pistol to shoot with but I found it quite easy on shooting and an overall good pistol. Maybe it's just because I've been shooting since 2003 and have shot a wide variety of pistols, rifles & shot guns, but especially pistols in all calibers of .25 auto up to .45...

It was fun shooting it, and knowing I haven't been to the range in over a year and that I was new to shooting this particular firearm, I was quite pleased with it's performance, and with the fact I managed to qualify first try with it. May not have done perfect but done good enough to where the...

Well this past weekend I took my conceal carry class for IL. The range qualifications consisted of 30 rounds total, 10 rounds each at 5, 7 & 10 yards. The target is one of a human torso with circles of center mass of 7 (outer ring) to 10 (inner ring) and then x in the center. To qualify you...

I've shot the Windicator a number of times, and it is a fine shooting gun and is quite enjoyable.

Thanks Marty, and it's not that I'm an early riser, its I haven't been to bed yet. I hope to have the gun out in the next 4-5 months. (I have 4 other guns on layaway and am limited on funds as I'm on disability and live off of a measly low income check every month. There's no telling I'll...

Personally I'm ok with the deal I got. I was just wondering if others thought the deal was fair or not. As far as Academy having it for pretty much the same price, have no affect on me considering they don't sell online and I have no store near me. Even if I found a store near me that had a...

I have not taken possession of the gun, and I have only put $15 down on it. I believe from what little research I've done, the gun in my neck of the woods, new, sells for about $350-$375 before tax. Also you have to keep in mind that I do not have the luxury to pay $300 at one time. The...

Friday I put a used but like new SD40VE two tone with 2-14 round mags on layaway. I picked it up for $315 out the door. Did I get a pair price? Sorry no pictures. The bore looks to be in good condition other than a very slight rust on the bore which I suspect I should be able to clean up...

I got my gun at the beginning of the month, however due to my father being in the hospital, critically ill for a few days, I haven't been able to post pictures. Any way I got 2 new guns this month, the 439 and a Cobra C22M .22 mag derringer from a pawn shop. Here are pictures of both.
