It wouldn’t have been Don who took your call in 2000 but it could have been any one of a number of people in Customer Service who, like many over the decades, didn’t waste either their or their caller’s time but did spend every minute necessary with them to make sure that any questions were...

Hopefully, this is permissible (I checked the “General Posting Rules” – above – and didn’t see where it wasn’t) but I was asked by some friends to Bump this Thread concerning the loss of a past (and longtime) Smith & Wesson employee just one time (back to the first page) in order to make it more...

Due to some health issues, I really don’t Post much here on the Smith & Wesson Forum anymore but a close friend just called to my attention the unfortunate Obituary I am enclosing herein. It is for a man who not only had a personal impact on me but in many ways on a number of you, in the roles...

“Nakanokalronin”: I only brought this to your attention because your great photos and the comment you make (“it's a very well made duty holster”) were on the inside of your first Post and regardless as to whether or not you (or I) really believe (as you say here) that “Cheap really just means...

“Nakanokalronin”: I don’t know you and I want you to know upfront that what I have to say here is not an attack against you. Nor am I being nit-picking about your choice of words. But I (just an average member here) would ask that you edit the title of this thread to better reflect the quality...

“GoodMornin” I have fired the alloy-frame, Double Action Only (DAO) 4043 (several of them and they were all of the early, extended slide type) and there is some difference as to how it “feels” (“feelings” and “felt recoil” obviously being very subjective sensations) than say a 4046 (the...

2 of 2 As stated in the immediately-preceding Post One of Two, my apologies to both “18DAI”, “JohnHL” and “Deputy50”, and separately, “GoodMornin” for I just haven’t been able to find the time to get back to some things about that hammer and again separately, the 4043 (although in posting this...

1 of 2 My apologies to both “18DAI”, “JohnHL” and “Deputy50”, and separately, “GoodMornin” for I just haven’t been able to find the time to get back to some things about that hammer and again separately, the 4043 (although in posting this entry today, I saw where “johnnyloco” has a thread about...

Please note that I wrote this response several weeks ago but because of my schedule, I was not able to post it until now. As such, there are several additional points that have either been discussed by others since then or have been used to move this Thread’s discussion into slightly different...

“Poohgyrr” I think I know you. If so, then a mutual friend just told me that I hadn’t contributed anything here in a while, so following are a few quick points about the 4006 I wrote over an early breakfast and proofed over a late lunch. In the overall scheme of things, while Wayne was...

“rwsmith” As your question was put in “The Lounge” Board of this Site, some of your answers here have become something of an apples-and-oranges kind of thing because several of the people trying to explain the value of “square” triggerguards are talking about pistols, while others are...

“Stoner1826” As I have stated elsewhere on this Site, I haven’t been contributing much here in past months but recently I have included a few things and tonight, stumbling across this thread, I thought that I would tell you that when Millett Sights was still making Iron Sights for Handguns...

“Elkins45”: In checking back on the first few posts that I’ve made here in a while, I saw your question and it is a hard one to answer in an un-opinionated manner and to be honest, the decision all depends on you. In fact, it all boils down to what you plan to do with the gun (Carry it a lot...

“Ransom”: Having not posted much of anything here for a while, my eye was caught by your thread after I put up several comments in another section in this same Board about someone’s Model 39 collection, which among other things, involved the pistol you are asking about here. So I wrote this...

“mbliss57”: I really don’t get to the Forum that much anymore but somebody asked me to look at something else here today and I saw your post. I am certainly not the world’s foremost authority on such things (or probably any “thing” for that matter) but I think I know a little bit about some...
