I seem to have misplaced my S&W book, the edition I got my username in! :D , what was the first year of production, 64? I hope to find my birth year for my next 58 purchase, I believe 1966 is still a S prefix serial number. My current 58 is a N.

Thanks guys. One load I have shot a few of from the 58 is 6 grains of Trail Boss under a 215swc (commercial cast). Only reason I shoot these so slow is they lead when driven hard. I am working with powder coating bullets now so I can shove these same bullets or my 245swc cast to much higher...

Thanks for the offer but i'm going to pass. Updated, thanks!

I'll take: 5)NIP Herrett N Targets, Coco Bolo, $50 shipped PM inbound.

That Burris is a decent optic. I have had one on a 617 at one point but eventually went to weaver 2.5-8. The Burris is a huge scope for its power range. It's good out to 50 yards on targets and great for hunting. The weaver is smaller, lighter and has a bit better field of view. If your not...

Here's mine! It obviously spent a large portion of its life riding around in a glove box. Internally, it looks like new. The ejector rod was almost perfect when I bought it telling me it wasn't shot much. I have put a few rounds thru it and will continue shooting it. The grips are modified...

to the top and edited to read only looking for wood grips. Might be interested, please send details and pix if ya got 'em.

I have a 7" that's also fairly rare....

Nice find. Over the years I've had both 581 & 681s. They equally shot well and as for looks, just something about a fixed sight Smith! Matter of fact, I picked up a 10-8 Friday. Local was just wanting rid of it and I had a few $ left over from Christmas, perfect combination, lol!

Product: Model 69 Anyone else hoping that the make this in a 41mag?

Ahrends makes their grips for square butts too. I normally stock both and can tell you their Retro Targets are hard to beat for new grips. The Tactical are also very nice if you like finger groove grips. HIGHLY recommend both!

Hi, looking for some decent to nice WOOD grips for a 10 square butt. Please email me pix and what you wanting from them to the email in my profile, pm me or post here. Not looking for $100+ grips! Thanks!

My 45c does the same thing. Its a lack of excessive slide lock engagement. ;)

I am not familiar with the 357 SIG version but I would also try a different brand of ammo. If it also shoots very low, then I would be suspect of the dreaded "trigger smash". Double action only style triggers with their long pull can lead even seasoned shooters to smash the trigger. As...

As much as I am SIG fan, I carry a Kahr pm40 or 45 the most due to their size and ease of concealment. Both of those little guns are extremely popular and S&W WILL enter the single stack 45 sub compact (shield) market just as springfield has recently. Its really a no brainer. I REALLY hope the...
