Looking to get some grips for my model 19. I'm trying to replace the Pachmayers that are on it right now. It's a shooter, not a safe queen, so I don't need some mint condition set of grips, just something that presents well. Prefer target football cut. Sorry guys, emptied out my inbox

Found a pre-model 18 K frame 4 inch which the seller claims to date to 1950 for an unusually low price locally. Going to meet face to face but I've never handled a 5 screw. From what I have been able to find, a gun of this configuration and vintage should be around 800-1000, so his price makes...

Interesting. Upon further investigation the top sideplate screw is missing as well. I'll let S&W know about the problem and see what they can do. Hopefully there are still nickel screws around for this.

Already got the shipping labels for both my blued and this one. They'll be going out tomorrow

Quick family photo of the Smith revolvers. Sorry for the terrible quality. One day I'll get a proper setup to really let these shine.

Didn't see the requests for pictures of the box. Here it is! Not sure why the paper towels are in there.

Gun got here today. Looks to be in fantastic shape. Has the original serial matching box with the documents, even the old detached warranty card filled out in 1983. Trigger sticks as the seller said. Trying to decide whether to send this off to Smith and Wesson to have the recall done on it and...

Worth 580 with box and papers?

Here is the gun

I think I might pass on it. Seller dropped the price due to anot occasional sticky trigger reset. Not sure I'm eager to buy someone else's problem. My 586 might not be a looker, but it's consistent.

Nicely done Jebus. He's asking 700

Have my eye on a 586 no dash nickel with a 6" barrel. I already have a blued one but it was rather beat up before I purchased it. This one is in fantastic shape, easily 98%. Has cardboard box and paperwork included.

Found a small lot on sale at Classic Firearms. From the video they look to be in good shape, all have the Durham, NC police logo engraved on the slide. Can't recall seeing any LE trade ins with the logo on the gun. Any other LE trades out there that people have run across? For $350 seems like a...

Anyone able to help me figure out the approximate date of manufacture? Serial is 18K4XXX
