4.25" barrel. I will check again. I didn't notice anything, but I didn't shine a light down the barrel.

I'll get some later this week.

I picked up a new Model 69 today. I was originally looking for a 29, but this just fit better. I ran 50 rounds of 240gr Federal JHP. It was hard to eject the spent casings so I guess polishing the chambers in order. I will be primarily loading with 44 specials, and I'll save the 44 Magnum for...

And it can be very accurate. This is 100 rounds at 12 yards. Accurate enough for me.

OldCop, Great choice! I EDC a Shield, and have for a few years. I am pushing 17000 rounds through mine and would not give it up. I don't know what the barrel life expectation is but it's still accurate, so I'm not doing a thing to it. When accuracy starts to suffer I suspect S&W will take care...

I carry the 7 w/one in the chamber and an eight round spare in weak side pocket.

Lots of good answers here, and a couple of not so good answers. Just because a pistol is off roster does not make it illegal to own. The shops are so full of BS in many cases right now and spreading bad info. PPT is a good way to go, and immediate family can gift to you. As said above PM and...

Absalom, Thanks for your help! I'm trying to convert the photos and ma having a hard time. It's blue, probably 75%, and I found a book of gun values that gave me some insight as well. It actually places the 4 and 6" barrels at the same value. I'm going to offer 375 -400 and see what happens...

I'm trying to figure out how much to bid on this: 1896 Smith & Wesson .32 Hand Ejector, 1st Model. Long cal., Very Rare 6” barrel. documented from the factory as a 6" barrel. Auction this evening, it just came to my attention. Good condition, documented history. I think the 4" values are in...

Shield 9, I use a "Clip Draw" and a Raven Concealment Van guard "holster".

I went from briefcase to backpack. I have minor meds, etc... and a BUG in mine.....'cause 2 is 1.........

I have almost 10k through my Shield. The trigger is great now! Living in (for the moment) Kaliforniastan I decided against any mods to my CCW weapons. My Shield has been 100% reliable, and things have smoothed out great. I may do sights at some point but right now it just works. So well that I...

Good catch. Happened to me so bad I couldn't drop the mag. completely my fault BTW. Now I remove it once a month and clean / lube.

We've looked in the Lake Wylie area of SC. I'm going to look a little closer. Thanks for the feedback! Oh, and to stress it again, I'm NOT from CA, I'm stuck in CA......... for the moment.

That's too bad. I was going to bring my guns, Jeeps, and Confederate flags. (seriously) Oh, and be a contributing factor to society, not a leech. But, If you're full I can look elsewhere..........;)
