Hi all, Thanks for the replies, I didnt think the pre dash would be that old, but I dont know a great deal about them yet, so thanks again. I should have them in a few weeks. I took my new 27 to the range and ran abox of 158gr win jhp's through it, shoots great, better than I can.

Well, it has been a long time coming, due to many factors, but on Monday this week I finally picked up my New 27-9 Classic. WOW, the blue anf grips are fantastic, the feel of the gun in hand, the whole lot, I love it. Mate gave me a set of real early target grips he had laying around to put...

Hi all, This week I picked up my second N frame, a Brand New 27 4" classic for shooting and looking at, while at the dealer, I see a 27 no dash, 5" blue, non original grips, has been refinished, but still nice as a shooter. its serial number is S 1978xx Dealer had a book that went back to mid...

Hi All, I have in the past done a reasonable amount of Handgun Hunting, first off with a 8 3/8" 29-2, with HOT 180gr handloads, worked well on everything I came across, I no longer have that smith and now have to use a 357. I would put shot placement far more important than caliber. When I...

Where do I send my Deposit, I would Order two NOW, running numbers, one for me, one for my 4 year old son. Please smith make it happen.

The barrel length is not about performance, it is about looks, I have a 6" 686-4 AFS for target stuff, this is just a gun I have always loved the look of, the N frame fits my hands, I am a reasonably solid bloke at 6' tall and 250 odd pounds, with hands to match the N frame feels right, plus the...

Hi Al, No, I am not a Police officer, the laws in Australia are very restrictive but still workable if you have the time, desire and willing to jump through hoops. You have to be a member of an approved Pistol club and attend at least 6 times a year, more if you have more pistols. We cant...

Are you sure?

Mmmmm, Men at Work, not doing much theses days, but who knows, anything is posible I suppose. Range report from someone would be good

I ordered a week ago a New "classic" series model 27, with a 4" barrel and blue. I really wanted a nice to very nice 4" 27 or 28, but have not found one, so I rang my mate (who is the S&W importer into Australia) and ordered a new one, I know it will have the lock, but I really don't mind, I am...

Me Too, Did the same with a 8.3/8" model 29 loaded with frame stretching 180gr handloads, my ears rang so loud for two days I could not hear normal conversation, I could not hear the wind noise on my road bike for about two weeks, and now have constant ringing in my ears and around 15% (tested)...

Hi All, Several years ago I loaded up a fair few Shot Loads, using .357 cases for extra length, I put a moderate charge of red dot powder, than seated a thick (0.060 or so) plastic wad, cut from an ice cream container lid using an old re-sized 38 case as a wad punch of sorts. then fill the...

To say achieving a 2.5# trigger pull is hard and risking doubles is true only if you use crap internals and are not sure of what your doing. I shoot IPSC and have guns shoot over 120,000 round of major PF 185 40 s&w without a single double or hammer follow. Good internals are the trick. I...

Hi All, I got given a few days ago a sales/ promotional brochure for Smith and Wesson Ammunition. It was in some other gun stuff given to me by my inlaws from a recently passed uncle, there were some stage grip, a palm shelf K frame walnut grip, heap of .38 and 357 cases, then in the bottom...
