I do, absolutely. Not the "flip the light switch 42 times" OCD, but perfectionism. I was taking tape off a book and ripped the cover, and it caused me to freak out. I knew it was irrational and didn't matter (book was used anyway) but at that moment it drove me crazy.

Looks great, and I'm getting a M36 redone because it's got brown "rust" spots from the bluing wearing in a bunch of spots. Wear I like, rust/browing I don't!

Worthwhile trade! I'd go for the 19 anyday. The hammerless SP101 is one of the only revolvers I think looks good without a hammer. I usually hate the look.

I've actually made the decision to cerakote my 36. It is worn down to brown/rust in a lot of spots, with a few spots just stripped to the bare metal. Since I have no plans of ever selling it and it will be a carry/range gun, I want to cerakote it because of the durability. If I spend $200 to...

I live in Massachusetts and since we have "Approved" new guns, everything is rarer. New Glocks are almost never sold here for example, so a beat up Gen 2 19 is $800 at times! That being said, the old S&W wheel guns I love are now shooting up in price. It cost me $445 to get the Model 36 I...

Nice, my 10-5 was my first gun.

I bought a 10-5 in 2012 for $275, it had been reblued by S&W and had the dark wood S&W grips on it (not original). Now they're shooting up in price, and that would be over $400 where I live now. I didn't realize the 10-5's were made in the 60's, I thought the 70's! From the Standard Catalog...

I'd love laser grips, but I can't justify the cost currently.

Yeah, those pictures are from their website on the ordering page. I already have rubber Pachmayrs and I conceal carry it, doesn't print at all. I should add that I love the look so on opinions I don't mean aesthetically, I mean function wise in the hand and sizing and quality.

I have Pachmayrs on it now and they are great in the hand, but I just love the look of wood grips. I came across these, and they look like the best of both worlds. They look like they don't cover the backstrap like the Pachmayrs do, but that's okay. Opinions on them? Looking to see if they're...

That's beautiful. 399 is a decent price considering all the old guns have been skyrocketing. My Model 10-5 was $275 in 2012, now they're going for over $400.

That's exactly why I'll never sell mine, unless it's a sub par knock off like my Maverick 88.

I am young, only 28 and a recent gun licensee (2012) so I only have 5 guns currently. My girlfriend wishes I had less because I can't stop buying them, but oh well. That being said I've read old timers saying "Don't sell ANYTHING, you'll regret it" and I 100% believe that. Except for my crappy...

I think that's what it is, the J is in the serial but it's not first. 8J7XXX is where the J is.

It or the 629 are the first things I think of when I want a .44. Not many have the history of the 29 with Dirty Harry and all.
