That's the gun my dad bought for me the day I was born in 1970. Great guns.

#2 K frame grips still for sale.

I have two sets of unfinished Culina coke style grips for sale. I bought these several years ago, and never finished or used them. I'll take Paypal f&f or regular Paypal +3%. 1. Sold to Nathan510- Culina grips for round butt N frame - square conversion grips in English Walnut $105 shipped...

WTS Diamond Magna Grips from a highway Patrolman. These were on a Highway Patrolman that belonged to my father. The gun was stolen, but he had changed out the grips already. He always told me that he bought the gun from Smith and Wesson after a tour of the factory when he was in the Air...

Cool. That's a great idea. I would love to have that gun back. It was a great gun.

He always just referred to it as a Highway Patrolman, and I never did look at the frame before it was stolen. I kind of use model 28 and Highway Patrolman interchangeably. I know he had it before he went to Vietnam in 1967.

My Dad had a Highway Patrolman he picked up years ago at the factory. Around 20 years ago it was stolen, and since my Dad had changed the grips out, he still had the grips. I'm trying to ID them since I don't have the gun. There are a couple numbers stamped on the inside. At the bottom is...

Sold to hlvabeach. Hello. I have a 686-5 plus (7 shot) from about the year 2000 for sale. This is the last version that was pre-lock. It has a six inch long barrel and factory Hogue grips. I haven't really shot it much and never carried. It just has a few boxes of ammo through it. It has...

I have a 6" 686+, no lock, and it's a great gun. I haven't had any problems with the lock on my 629 though, so I don't really have any qualms about it. I always figured that if I had a problem with it, I'd plug it, but so far, no issues. I'll echo the other posters above, and I would buy that...

I just had to tell my story from today. I was the lone revolver shooter today, and I had Sigs around me and a Hi Point. While I appreciate a good semi auto, almost all of the semi autos were having feeding problems, and my revolvers just kept ticking along. I kind of chuckled to myself, but...

I bought a new 629 with a 4" barrel and I bought my wife a model 60 with a 5" barrel about a year ago. They both have locks, and so far they haven't caused any problems. Both guns shoot just like any of my other smiths. We're happy with them, and the model 60 was my wife's first gun that...

As far as heavy loads, I generally prefer to use my Ruger Bisley in 45 colt. It can handle 300 grain bullets at 1300 fps with no real problem, and it's fairly comfortable to shoot. But, I really, really like smith and wesson N frames. Right now, any extra money is being saved for fertility...

I have one I'm thinking about selling/trading. I've been looking for prices as well, and most of them seem to be fairly high priced. I saw one at SOG, a gun wholesaler, for $1250 a year ago, and I've seen several on gunbroker for prices over $1000. I guess they seem to be going higher, but I...

I think I posted the following in the wrong forum. I had it in the forum up until 1980, and I just read here that it may have been produced after 1980. Sorry. Anyway, I have a Model 29-3 Silhouette model revolver in very good condition. It shoots great, and recoil is fairly light ( for a 44)...

I'm sort of an accumulator, I guess. I collect various guns, but money's a little short lately, so I'm going through my collection and sort of prioritizing my "wants". Eventually, I'll sell/trade a pre-64 Winchester carbine, some C&R milsurp guns, and the 29 silhouette to get guns I want more...
