Thank you Very much appreciate your quick response. It's from a cousin on the East Coast who had it during times of civil unrest. She also kept it in her shop. Apparently, it always frightened her to have it around. It has found a good home in a state where it will have the opportunity for...

Hi, I was just gifted a pinned and recessed, 4" S&W Model 19-4. Original box, Target Grips, screwdriver & S&W marked holster. It is in VG+ condition (I know; what a gift). Knowing the date of manufacture will be very helpful. Serial number is 73K9***. Can anyone be of help? Thanks in advance.

Webley Mark VI My Webley has been ground to accept .45acp with moon clips. I have been shooting lead bullets sized to .451. Accuracy is OK, but not astounding. Would the .455 bullets work with my Webley when loaded in .45acp cases? Thanks!

A few additional photos This should provide a good sampling of the revolver. The grips are 'Uncle Mike's" and not Hogue.

Photos Here are photos of my 16-4. I Tried to be as detailed as possible.

Thanks for that, SFIDEC. Appreciate the look-up. This is good and helpful information.

Thank you! Agree, however I have huge problems with Gunbroker. For some reason, it will not allow me to search "S&W Model 16-4" (or any variants of same). I am frustrated with that site.

I have a Model 16-4 with a 4" barrel. I purchased it many years ago. The gun is absolutely beautiful, however the previous owner removed the original grips and replaced them with rubber Hogue grips. It sits perfectly in my hand. While an excellent shooter, it is time for me to sell it to...

Values? Anyone have an idea as to value? Thanks!

I am the second owner. I seem to recall that the original owner told me that he ordered it that way. Have no idea if this is true or if S&W did special orders like this. It is so pretty that I left it that way. The trigger is so smooth that I was sure it had been worked on by a professional...

***. . . Thanks for the date. I appreciate it very much! Unfortunately, no I do not have the original box. I purchased from the original owner many years ago. He had little interest in keeping the box. Regardless, I could not resist buying the gun.

Need some help. Thinking of selling my beauty. Need a date of manufacturing and approximate value. Pinned & recessed. Absolutely beautiful. Serial number begins with N6159** Thanks for the support!

1911 v 3913 Have a shoot both. The 3913 is appreciably shorter, smaller and thinner. The grip is shorter, also. I would handle it to determine if it will be a problem for you. Mine has two magazines; one that sits flush to the magazine well and one that protrudes and allows for a better pinkie...

How about it. What are your favorite loads for all steel, S&W snubbies? Thanks!
