Wow! Thank you Dan, I will ask him when I see him and ask if he needs one...If he does I'll be sure to give you a holler... Gus

Thank you very much, "opoefc" That is some great information and I will be passing it on to the owner. I have a question, and please, forgive my ignorance...I have tried a search for the "Forum archives" you mentioned and could not find them...Could you provide a link that will take me there? I...

Hey Guys, Just posting up some pics of a Model 916A, 20 gauge that an acquaintance of mine brought to me for some TLC. Been sitting in a scabbard for the better part of a quarter century. Has some scuffs and scratches, but all in all a pretty decent piece. Best information I have been able to...

"I firmly believe in Gun Control... The ability to maintain a proper sight picture while carefully squeezing the trigger to accurately hit that which I am aiming at, with the first shot, and every subsequent shot, under any conditions I may find myself in, until the threat is completely...

Hello, Just wanted to drop by and again thank everyone for the great information provided and let you know that this gun is an awesome shooter! Took it to the range and ran a bunch of my reloads in both .38spl. and .357, along with some Winchester PDXi and this thing shoots... Very pleased with...

Thank you all for your continued interest and information. Well, as promised, I have gotten together with my friend and taken a few pics of the Victory S&W... Enjoy perusing and any further comments or suggestions are greatly welcome... Have a great upcoming weekend.:D

Thank you for that excellent reply, Sir... What he actually meant by the "more modern" statement was the fact that... A- this piece would generally be used by his son's wife while he is away, sometimes for months at a time "smoke-jumping"... B- the ammo is not readily available and they don't...

Thanks for the information. I really appreciate all of you taking the time to check it out. I am very pleased with this piece and even more so, now that I know I paid a good price for it. As Maxwell Smart used to say, "Would you believe"...I only handed over 250.:) Can't wait to get it out on...

Hello S&W fans, Just acquired this model 27-2, 357 Magnum, serial # N333xx. Guy who had it bought it new back in the 80's, fired it a couple of times and it hasn't seen the light of day till now. He said he had no use for it and asked me if I wanted to buy it. I suppose I got a pretty good deal...

Thank you all for the warm and gracious welcome. I certainly hope to learn a lot and maybe at some point actually be able to add to the conversation. Best regards, Gus

Thank you all for your extremely knowledgeable and very helpful responses. My friend is leaving for North Carolina today and was going to take the gun to his son, but thanks to the information I have been able to get for him from all of you, he has had second thoughts and decided to hang on to...

Thank you, gents for your responses... I am working on getting pics from my friend and as soon as I do, I will post them up... We did notice the chambers have been reamed {rather rough looking} out to be able to accept a .38 special... This brings up a couple of concerns/thoughts/questions... I...

Hello and let me begin by apologizing...I like S&W guns, although I only own a couple and know enough about them to satisfy my curiosity... I am here, however, trying to help out a good friend of mine identify an old S&W revolver he is handing over to his son. It has been in his family for a...
