    S&W 10mm Pistols - Love them or Leave them?

    Finally found and picked up a nice 1006 and 1066 to compliment my 4566. Never have had 3rd gen S&Ws. They are super nice.

    3rd Gen stainless factory refurb question

    Thanks. I would do this for me and not for resale value. I spoke with S&W today and they said yes you can walk it in to the MA factory (customer shop actually) and the turn around is 8-10 weeks. They said not to specify bead blast but instead to simply note you want the gun returned to...

    3rd Gen stainless factory refurb question

    Thank you. Assuming they do their factory refurb work in MA yes you are right they are only about an hour and a half from me so no shipping. Problem with scotch-brite is that I fear some of the scratches may be deep enough so that scotch bright wouldn't work but I admit I have no experience...

    3rd Gen stainless factory refurb question

    I am looking at a 1066 that has significant wear/scratch marks. If the gun otherwise functions flawlessly and I'd like it restored to like new factory condition cosmetically, is it as simple as either sending it back to the factory for a $155 full frame and slide bead blast or sending it to...

    The only 4566 left to find is the Melonite one with front slide serrations, as pictured in the S&W book!!

    S&W 10mm Pistols - Love them or Leave them?

    Actually, I believe that the Dornhaus & Dixon Bren Ten was the father of all 10mm's. Started production in '83 and ended in '86 with bankruptcy. Tried to be ressurrected by Peregrine but that failed. Shortly thereafter, Colt came out with the Delta Elite and Springfield with the Omega. S&W...

    S&W 10mm Pistols - Love them or Leave them?

    Wish I could get a Smith 10mm but I live in MA. Not on the AG roster so can't bring 'em in. I own a Delta Elite and love it. Also recently built a Fusion 1911 and it's very accurate as well.

    Melonite 4566

    I have been looking for a 10XX series (I am in MA so we have the dreaded AG roster) but happened to stumble on a 4566 melonite NIB so had to get it. It was as advertised. It is one of the batch of RJF31XX serial #s. Came in today. What a nice piece. Look forward to comparing it to my SS...
