OK first time I've been a "one percenter" then I guess, lol. ;)

I think you might be on to something there; S&W packaging a matching pair, with serial numbers of xxxR and xxxP, that sort of thing. I can certainly imagine them selling more of the pistol models with that additional option.

If you can't be bothered to look at the (long) existing thread on open sights for the FPC; Why in the world would S&W send the FPC out without open sights? I don't really know what extra hand-holding can be provided.

I find that a 9mm suppressor helps the balance.

Interesting perspective; most folks ask if they actually function.

I'm glad that S&W didn't ship with sights - one less thing to throw in a drawer. It would most likely have been cheap, and wouldn't have fit w/ my setup. I was able to do some research on many available options and purchase exactly what I wanted. And BTW, the ghost ring works great (the pic did...

For the folks with the MBUS (or comparable) flip up sights; can anyone take a measurement to see how far above the rail they sit when folded down ?

Thank you for the update on the ETS magazines, I was curious about them. Hopefully S&W will come out with an extended mag for the FPC's.

I guess I'm the luddite around here, with the Leupold scout scope lol.

I found the bag for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown to be a better, trimmer fit than the standard S&W bag. The pic album is here, including more pics comparing the two bag candidates: Dropbox - S&W FPC - Simplify your life Edit: S&W Forum includes boilerplate warning for the picture album link above...

Fixed that for ya. :)

I think that if I could keep only one of my revolvers it would be my 3" bbl 60-10 .357, IMO it's the most useful revolver ever made.

One of the forum members looked up a few S&W dates for me not long after I joined the forums - I do appreciate how the older hands here help us newbs. Unfortunately don't have a lot of info to contribute as S&W's aren't my main interest, but I always try to post pics of my revolvers here as I...

TNDave, are you taking applications for nephews? :)

My matched-pair of trade-in M64's from the Sportsmans Outdoors Superstore offering back in late-summer 2012 (@ $249.99 ea, shipped). Although it seems like a questionable use of funds for recently-manufactured (i.e. 1996) S&W's, I'd like to get these 'lettered' since I'm curious where they...
