The only J frame currently in my collection. Dated to 1976 by a fine member of the forum. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

Really??? That's pretty cool! I can't wait to shoot it. The guy traded it and a like new Bond Arms 9mm derringer for my Taylor's & Co Gambler in 357. No idea what the model 49 is worth, but I'm happy with the trade and he's tickled pink with it as well. Sent from my SM-G781U using Tapatalk

I'm wondering if anyone could give me a general idea of when this M49 was made? I picked it up in a trade this evening. The serial number is J4630xx. I know that the grips are not correct, but for a carry gun I actually like these boot grips. This one has definitely seen a lot of time in a...

That should be fun! I've got a Savage Striker in .308 and it's my favorite range toy. The recoil on mine is about equal to a full house .44 magnum from a 4" revolver. Please let us know how it shoots. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Absolutely, I roll my own and will find a mild load that it likes. I don't own any "safe queens" so this will get used. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

It is .38 special. The serial number is 2279xx. All serial numbers match, including the grip. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

I just picked up this pre-model 10 today. The seller said he called S&W and was told the serial number dates to 1914. From what I've read on this forum that would make this a 3rd change I believe. There is no rust or pitting but much of the finish is gone. The gun is tight and locks up solid on...

I don't normally clean my mags. However, several years ago, I bought a police trade-in 4046. It had problems feeding at first, a friend recommended taking the mags apart. I swear I cleaned enough bread crumbs out of them to make a meatloaf! After I cleaned them the gun ran fine. Now I check all...

Absolutely love my 45c. I traded a police trade-in Glock 32 for mine. It came with three mags and Apex trigger job. I carry it daily in a Galco V-Hawk iwb.

M&P40 Shield with my Zero Tolerance 0560BW. RIA compact and a Case Russlock.

Got my shield 40 last week for $449 OTD. It had been in the case all of 15 minutes! LoL

Thanks for the info guys. I know the trigger is stock but I didn't know exactly what the Apex spring kit consisted of. All of the visible components are much more polished than my M&P40 so I wasn't sure if a previous owner had replaced them or just polished them. The reset on the 45c is slightly...

My latest addition, a 45c with apex trigger.

I just acquired a 45c and am told it has an apex trigger kit installed. Does this look right? Just curious.

Galco V-Hawk, all day everyday for the last three years.
