You are a life saver, thank you very much for the help.

Here is a different view.

I was pulling the side plate for a thorough cleaning the other evening. Pulled all the internals as I’ve done on a few other S&W revolvers, and there is this piece laying on the cleaning mat that I don’t recognize. I’ve put the revolver back together and it functions perfectly. Any idea what...

There is one on gunbroker right now, a 586 no dash nickel with 15 bids and 9+ days left for $900. It has box, docs, and stocks though.

I’ve had my 340 for about 5 years now and wore it almost everyday as my CCW; at work, mowing the lawn and even running 20 miles on a hot TX morning. I carry AIWB and don’t know what y’alls definition of long term is, but I feel it has held up pretty well under the circumstances. The worst issue...

I had been on the search for a less than perfect 65-6 LS for a while and finally found one a few weeks ago with some finish wear and some rust under the grips for a somewhat reasonable price. I was looking for a project gun instead ruining a collector piece and I’ve never been a big fan of a...

Thanks so much for the wondeful pics and insightful replies. I think I’ll probably go for the 686 over the 66 6 inch. For some unknown reason I prefer the late 90’s to early 2000 guns and there are a few 686-5 that would fit in my collection nicely on gunbroker. I know they have the frame...

I’ve been considering a longer barreled revolver for a while now. It would be primarily used for some short range hunting and an occasional strong sided ranch carry gun around my place. I’m not looking to get into a debate on various dash models, and I currently own a few K and L frames so I...

I figured I’d show off my new 19-8 that I got a few weeks ago. I don’t know why, but I have a thing for the late 90s early 2000 models. I know they have the MIM parts, but they seem a little more scarce compared to most prelock runs. This one was put out in Jan 1999 and has only a few handling...

I have a 629-5 that I installed a meprolight tritium front sight and a C&S u-notch fixed rear that shoots true to POA. I really like the night sights or fiber optic fronts for my aging eyes.

629-5 Performance Center. I’m not sure which one as the previous owner swapped in a 4 inch barrel. Great online auction find. I installed a tritium front sight and a C&S fixed rear sight with the newer grips.

I just picked up (as a Christmas present to myself) a 640-1 off GB for $416 + shipping and transfer. I put an XS big dot night sight on right away and I got a poor mans ‘semi-pro.’

I have the DeSantis clip grip on my 340 and use the clip mostly with pocket carry, although then it is kind of open carry. The clip isn’t really long enough over a thick belt, so I don’t carry it IWB with the clip part. I prefer the frame mounted clips for that method. The plastic is durable...

Last few days....
