Mine has "character". Pronounced turn line and other wear marks. I picked it up about four years ago for $250CDN. Frosty

I picked up my model 18 no dash at a gun show a couple of years ago. Paid $345 CDN for it. It was carried by a trapper for years, and looks it! Shoots very well though. Frosty

I just use .38 Special load data and load them in .357 brass. Problem solved! Frosty

Those grips are original to the gun. Mine came with them (I can't stand them, they don't fit my hands). I have replaced them with a wooden set without finger grooves. I bought mine in 1988. Paid $525CDN. Frosty

Here's mine. A model 10-8. Picked it up for $280CDN about five years ago. Locks up tighter than a bank vault and shoots very well. Marked 1 of 300 on the opposite side below the cylinder. Frosty

Not entirely true. My 29-3 has a full under lug barrel: Frosty

I picked up a model 18 no dash for $345 CDN in April. The finish is very worn and it has "lots of character", but it is mechanically sound and shoots very well. Frosty

....for we Northerners. A friend of mine works at a local toy shop. His S&W rep just informed him that the US government has stopped all exports of ALL S&W firearms anywhere "until further notice". Waiting for something from the custom shop? Too bad. Your shop waiting for a large order? Tough...

I use the Carnauba Red with good results. It gets a little sticky when stored in higher temps, so no problem here! Frosty

Speedo2, the grips are not numbered to the gun. I'm not worried as I bought it as a shooter. Only paid $345CDN shipped. Frosty

Well, it took a long time finding its way home, but finally here it is. It has a lot of character, but is mechanically sound. Should be a good shooter. Can't wait for our foul weather to clear so I can take it for a test drive! Model 18 no dash: Frosty

Everybody needs a time out now and then! :) Frosty

Here's my 29-3 Classic Hunter. It's a bit older than yours. S/N is AZC9xxx. I bought it new in 1988. I replaced the grips with a set of Hogue laminated rosewoods without finger grooves (I hate finger grooves. They don't fit my hands). Frosty

Range Rover, did you pick that up at the AACCA show over the Easter weekend? Frosty
