If I remember correctly the 43 was a 3.5 inch barrel.

I went to an auction a few weeks ago and a 2 inch Model 34 that appeared NIB went for $875 so the one you're looking at is right in the ball park.

Thanks for the info!

I'm looking at buying a Glock 48 and I will probably get some of the Shield mags also. My question is how the metal mag release will affect the standard Glock mags. Will the metal part cause excessive wear on the plastic mags? Does installing the metal part restrict me to the metal magazines?

Even if I didn't have all the Smiths I'll ever need I wouldn't buy one. Something's fishy here. "Very reminiscent of the original Chief's Special" doesn't cut it in my book. If they wanted to do it right they should have just resumed manufacturing the originals again.

If you don't see wear on the replaced parts then it was probably just a preventive maintenance move. I just bought a Wolff spring kit to replace all the springs on the Model 19 I bought over 40 years ago. I've had no problems, I just consider it as "regular maintenance". The Model 19 hasn't...

Count me in with those voting for a 3 or 4 inch K frame loaded with .38 ammo, +P if she can handle it and standard pressure if she can't. Remember that the capability to make a quick follow up shot or a shot on a second attacker is far more important than the slightly better stopping power of...
