    Doesn't have a model number.

    To the OP, welcome to the forum! Just as a minor point of clarification, I suspect the grips on your chopped Victory are actually a brand called Franzite. The Jay Scott faux stags were a higher quality which were laminated to wood and had a characteristic sandwich appearance when viewed from...

    Stores and or other places you refuse to do business with

    I’d be going out of my way to go in there every chance I got:). I’m probably the least confrontational guy you’ve ever met, but according to MrsB I can be a little cantankerous.

    Thanks for the add!

    Thanks for the photos. That’s a good looking shooter. Just for future reference, the K on the butt is actually an important part of the serial number. Good shootin’ Doug

    Thanks for the add!

    Welcome Mike. That serial number from the butt will open up a wealth of information. If it is a Combat Masterpiece, +P will be fine and .357 won’t chamber in it anyway. Enjoy the forum and treasure your father-in-law’s shootin’ iron.

    I received the Covid-19 vaccine yesterday

    MrsB and I are scheduled for later this month. We are extremely fortunate to belong to a university based network of healthcare providers. Our primary care physician contacted us and facilitated scheduling through their very interactive web portal. We have no underlying health issues. Our...

    Presentation and my 36

    Bienvenido, Mariano. Good to have you with us. That’s a beautiful Model 36. I hope it’s easier for you to find ammunition for it there than it is here. Good shootin’, Doug

    Any of you guys Cerakote your revolvers?

    I’ve posted this one before. H-234 Sniper Grey over a bead blast to correct horrific neglect some time in its past life. No noticeable difference in function before/after (after replacing the missing parts). Still shoots like all my other Combat Masterpieces. I don’t see myself ever getting...

    JUST ONCE THANK YOU

    “You’ve Got Mail”, but probably not for the reason you think. I was out with MrsB and we were about halfway through the movie when I got a call that my good friend’s daughter had committed suicide and somebody had to go and tell him. One of those responsibilities that you just can’t...

    Model 67-1

    Welcome to the forum. Your new Combat Masterpiece is just about the perfect blend of S&W design, development and durability. I’m looking forward to the answer to your question. Stay tuned. Good shootin’, Doug

    What Guns Were You Issued?

    As a USAF Law Enforcement Specialist (812XX) 1973 - 1977, I was assigned a S&W Model 15 and an M16 at each of my two duty stations. I only checked the M16 out for qualification and one other time for some sort of combat training. I remember giving all my magazines full of blanks to some...

    Help identifying age of 38 Special CTG

    I used to be firmly in the “do not refinish” camp when it came to family heirlooms. Lately, I wonder how the original owner might have felt about it, particularly if the damage occurred in subsequent generations of neglect. If you knew that old uncle Bob or Aunt Judy were meticulous with the...

    what part is this?

    Did you ever convert an older Sig P226 to the new E2 grips? That looks like the old mainspring which would have been replaced by the new one in the kit. Good shootin’, Doug

    Cerakote Plus or Minus

    I’m generally not a fan of refinishing, but this old warhorse had been badly neglected before it came to live with me. I’m very satisfied with the outcome and wouldn’t hesitate to have another one Cerakoted should the need arise. Good shootin’, Doug

    Welcome back, from the TX gulf coast. We don’t have any red bugs here, but it is darned hot! Good shootin’, Doug
