I am trying to help a friend who has this older revolver. I am not even sure it is a S&W but I believe it is. Can anyone help me identify this revolver? Thanks, Mark

I am looking for the paperwork that was included in the case with the revolver. If you have a set, and would like to sell it, please let me know. Mark

WTB the paperwork and brochures that were included in the cased S&W 2000 Model 3. I am a pin head and a stickler for details and these items would complete my set. Thanks, Rabbit

Good morning forum, I recently picked up a S&W schofield. I had it out to the local range and was pretty pleased with the results on the target. My only issue was the trigger pull, it was pretty hard. Is there any way I can make the trigger pull lighter? I would like to just replace springs...

Hello Forum, If this post is in the wrong forum, mods, please move it to the correct one. I have been considering picking up one of the S&W Model 3 revolvers that were made in 2000. They don't give them away, but I am still interested in picking one up. My question to the forum, why did S&W...

Hello Forum, I have a M&P VTAC in .40 S&W and I am interested in purchasing a 9mm barrel and a few 9mm mags to make the conversion but I have a few questions. I have seen S&W 9mm factory barrels available for a pretty reasonable price, $80.00 or so. I understand that when the M&P was first...

Hello Joe, All I can say is, Thank you sir! Great research, this website continues to answer all of my collecting questions. I picked up the revolver today, the bore was dirty but not bad at all. The cylinder has been scratched from removing the cylinder and scratching the cylinder sides with...

Hello Joe, Thank you for the information. Can you please tell me anymore, I am disappointed this gun is not an original S&W but your information is intriguing. Since this gun has a few issues and I am not paying much for it, I will still pick it up. The bore is pretty good and I plan on shooting...

Hello Forum, I have put some money down on a revolver that I thought was a S&W model 3 in .44 Russian. I realized this revolver was not collectable but my plan was to pick it up and load some original style ammo and shoot this revolver. It would be the oldest S&W in my collection, not a real...

The revolver I am looking at has the spur and lanyard ring at the bottom. I believe the barrel length is about 6 1/2 inches and I believe the revolver is a third model in .44 Russian. The local gun store I use caters to the cowboy action shooters, the owner had a box of .44 Russian ammo and the...

Hello mmaher94087, I will check to see when the cylinder locks up on this revolver the next time I take some money in to add to my lay-a-way. I am hoping it won't cost to much to fix, but I am glad to read in your reply that the hammer can be welded up and a new safety slot cut. As long as this...

Good morning forum, I have put some money down on a no. 3 revolver at a local gun store, it is what I would call a beater. It has been refinished to the point that there is no lettering visible across the top of the barrel and it has a few dinks and scratches. I am interested in it because the...

Hello Forum, I just picked up a Model 28-2. The revolver came with two grips, a set of rubber aftermarket grips, and the original wooden grips. The rubber grips were on the gun, the wooden grips are original to the revolver but the original grip screw was lost. Can you guys tell me about the...

Hello Forum, Just picked up a M&P .22 pistol and a couple of extra mags. How do you carry the extra mags? What mag pouch do you use? Thanks, Rabbit

I have read Evan P. Marshall's book "Street Stoppers". Marshall polled police departments all over the US and asked what load was used in shootings and what was the percentage of one round stopping the fight. In the .40 S&W the results were- 1. Cor-Bon 135-gr. JHP used in 24 fights, 23 one shot...
