Please add my name to the hat. Thanks.

I can tell you exactly how I came to tapping on the hammer. I had the Kuhnhausen book open on the table reading the checkout section. I had the sideplate off checking a few clearances with feeler gauges and working the action slowly to inspect the action with a magnifying glass. I reached...

Thanks for the reassurance. I am sure you have asked your dumb questions in life only to be put down by others. I never claimed to be a gunsmith, no where close. I am worried about safety, that is why I asked.

See video: YouTube - Smith and Wesson Hammer Fall Is this normal for a K frame hammer to fall with light taps from a wooden mallet handle. The stainless model 67 (http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-smithing/93899-fixing-bad-trigger-job.html) is one that I had to re-stone the single action sear...

Here's my model 67 no dash, with incorrect blued rear sight. This is my go to gun when its time to head to the range.

You cant go wrong with the old police trade-in model 10 Heavy Barrels. I bought a S&W model 10-8 for $170 about three years ago. It has the smoothest factory DA trigger I have ever felt. The bluing is gone and the gun is a great shooter. They are a great value.

They rotate the opposite way as well.

HOW DO YOU COPY AND PASTE?

Here's my friend shooting his...pretty good for old eyes. YouTube - Smith and Wesson model SW1911

Few detailed pics. Should be interesting to see how the bullet impacts the target. Visually it looks like it will hit low. Sighting down the topstrap using the conventional method of lining the top of the rear sight and the top of the front sight it feels wrong. By bringing the "bead" up to...

Great looking revolver Linde. I will take better pictures of mine as soon as I can find my camera.

I see now where the barrel has been cut, the patent dates run right off the edge under the added front sight. This is definately a shooter not a collector. Bore has some slight pitting and is in excellent mechanical shape.

The barrel length is 3.25 inches and the serial number is 4266. Any idea of age? There is no S&W logo on either side of the sideplate, does this indicate rebluing?

I assumed it would shoot low as well, looks like the front sight is a little tall. I will measure the barrel this evening and take better pics of the markings, etc. Thanks for the info.

Hi, Just acquired this little gem. Don't have the serial number at the moment but would like to see if you guys could offer any other info on this revolver. Obviously has had front half moon sight cut and ramp sight added. The barrel appears shortened, any info on factory barrel lengths...
