Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into it.

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what I have.

Quick question for all the experts out there while I am stuck out work without my pistol in front of me. I picked up a 629 Deluxe last year, mostly because I really liked the look of the wood grips on it. While it is still fun to shoot, I am looking to get a lot more range time with it and I am...

Thanks for all the info and opinions guys, it really helps a lot. This is my first pre-lock revolver and apparently it's a pretty desirable one so I'm just trying to learn as much as I can so thank you. I have a performance center model 627 that I have an extra set of grips for that I might...

Yes, it is the original finish. I am guessing this thing was a safe queen most of it's life. Very few marks on it and almost no holster wear. There are a few very small imperfections under the grip but overall the finish is in great shape. I'm very excited about this one, it jumped up my list of...

It sure is a pretty gun isn't it? I had the choice between a 6 inch and 3.5 inch barrel and it wasn't a tough decision at all. Wonder how close ours were in production? My serial number is S914xx.

Keeping the stocks it came with are still on the table. Especially if they are period correct. I just thought that they covered up a lot of that gorgeous bluing, it even covers half of the S&W stamp. Here is what it looks like with the stock on it. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks for the thread. I guess I'll have to do a little digging but they are probably Roper? I didn't really see anything that said that's what they were for sure.

Here are the grips that came on it. Let me know if anyone knows anything about them. And thanks for all the info guys, it's been real helpful.

Any idea on how to tell if custom grips are from a known maker? I'm assuming there would be some sort of a stamp or marking.

Not sure I've seen non-relieved targets on a pre-27, I will have to look into that. The grips that came on this gun are some sort of target grips, they don't have the S&W medallion so I am assuming they are aftermarket.

Stag may not be a bad idea. I currently have the grips of it to give it a good cleaning and oil everything good. I attached a picture because who doesn't like looking at a 3.5 inch pre-27. The bluing is on great shape, picture doesn't really do it justice. There is currently a heavy coat of oil...

Thanks for the replies guys. I was thinking period correct is the direction I should go but just a quick look on eBay for a decent set of Magnas and you aren't kidding they won't be cheap. I just got this gun in my hands yesterday so I haven't been looking too hard, but I have a feeling it won't...

Hey guys, New to the forum here, thanks for having me. I recently stumbled into a beautiful 3.5 inch pre-27 revolver that I think is in great shape. It was advertised being "pre-lock" Model 27 and that was enough to draw my interest. After getting it in my hands and looking up the serial...
