    Expired/Withdrawn Wanted - Grips for S&W 78G pellet pistol

    Very odd request - I have a 1980 +/- S&W 78G 22 cal pellet pistol. These were exactly like the 41's and the 41 grips may even fit. I am not sure of that. I am looking for a set of grips. The original is cracked and I would like to replace them. Any suggestions?

    I hit the grip jackpot!

    What a haul! I have a pre 29 5 screw in 98% condition that i bought many years ago and I shoot it regularly with mid range cast 44 mag. It did not have the original grips and I looked for YEARS for some original cokes but couldn't find one. Finally a pristine set of diamond cokes came up. Yes, I...

    Picked up a set of Cokes

    Mine were stupid expensive I bought a 5 screw pre 29 6" blue in about 97% condition probably 30 years ago. No box, no tools, not even original grips. Beautiful condition. It had Pachmayrs on it. I bought it to shoot and shoot it I do. I shoot cast bullets (H&G #503) with occasional full...

    I rarely gamble...

    I have a set of grips like that They came on a pre 29 5 screw and i always thought they were from another gun. Interesting....I now have them on a pre 24 44 special.

    PRE M 24 A HOME RUN****9/23 RANGE REPORT ***

    Ditto on mine I did a similar thing. Three years ago I wanted one. I watched GB and one came up. 85-90% - carried a ton and shot little. Even got the original Heiser holster with it. Didn't have the original grips and had holster wear - no one wanted it....or at least was willing to spend money...

    1950 (first year) Pre-27 Factory Fired

    Hey....it's only money.

    If limited to 10 rounds, what do you carry?

    NH does not restrict anything (well, maybe rocket launchers) but i carry an old school 3914. They just make sense to me. I am a revolver fan so DA on the first shot is natural to me. SA requires practice, practice and more practice to recover the trigger discipline after the first DA shot.

    Hand ejector,44 mag

    I have a pre 29 also with 98% blue, non-original grips, no case or tools. It is one that you would not hesitate to shoot....and I do. i shoot mid range loads with cast bullets and every once in a while some full house 44's just to remind me what it does. I have been offered $2000 (he would...

    .32/20 Hand Ejector Model of 1905

    I just purchased a 32-20 4th change in a STRONG 95+% all original and a beautiful bore for $650. Probably top dollar for that gun. Carried but not shot very much at all. BUT, I want to shoot it and not keep it as a safe queen.

    A pre 29 I will never sell

    I have a 1956 shooter too I have a similar one. 5 screw, no case, no tools, Cokes not there, but I put a pair of Pachmayr grippers on it and shoot the daylights out of it. Cast lead mid range loads only (H&G # 503 w/ 8.5gr WW231) and it is by far my favorite gun. Every once in a while some...

    Looking at a 3-inch Model 36

    My 3" 36 sb I have an early 70's nickel 3" SB 36 that is MagnaPorted and had a trigger smoothing done. With Pachmayrs it is the PERFECT carry gun. I didn't do the work - I just bought it as is. No one else wanted it. I have probably 5,000+ rounds through the gun. Cast H&G #51 w/ 4.0gr ww231...
