Was at LGS yesterday & saw this model 37 & had to go back today & pick it up. Could not let it sit in the store anymore a Christmas present to myself. Based on serial # J695xxx it was producded in the first 1/2 of 1979. Has the Bianchi Gun leather grips which will be going as soon as I find new...

Thanks for the help. Was able to figure out it was a limited production 22-4. Only limited because it is nickel. Looks like I am going to get another posting infraction for posting in wrong time period. But I had no idea what year it was mfg. Thanks Mike

I hope I am posting this in the right place to ask these questions. Was at LGS today & looked at a S&W 45 Cal revolver, & I am having a terrible time finding information. Owner would not let me take a picture but let me write down all information Iam stating. 1. Serial number-- DAW4351 2...

My son brought this to me but I have no idea what it fits. Says SW logo 40 SW last hole is marked 11 I am guessing it is a 12 rd double stack. Any guess as to what it will fit & value. Thanks Mike

Picked up a model 36 Chiefs Special in Nickel. Went by my local Pawn shop to see what was new & there she sat. Finish was rough toke few hours of Feltz & Renaissance wax to make her shine. Based on the serial number 181xxx I estimate it to be the last 3-4 months of 1959. Thanks Mike

I also from this same shop about a year ago swapped a Rossi .32 revolver in a presentation box for a S&W 6946 Mike

Picked up in a local pawn shop a S&W 469 in nickel, with 3 mags. Asking $275 I traded a Rossi 3" .38 special w/ holster for the gun. Think I came out on the right end of the deal. Has a few scratches & needs rear sight replaced ( which I have. Thanks Mike

Sorry folks but I am done with this forum. The PC police give me warnings for everything I post. I am gone out of here & will not be back. Mike

Yes it is not a S&W but what she wanted. Browning 1911-380 with High Figure Grips in Birds Eye Maple. She has not fired it yet but will do later this week. Also ordered an OWB Mernickle Custom Holster. MIke

Using lead cast bullets for 380,38 special & 9mm other places say Tite Group burns to hot & will melt the bullet. I will be loading on the low side of the Hodgdon recommendations to start &...

I would like to thank everyone for your help. Watching more reload videos, & reading more posts, I have come to realize any pistol powder will do. I have also been looking at an upgrade to a single stage press. The press would be an additional $140 (approx) over the Lee Loader will have to check...

I am thinking of reloading some 38 special with 125 gr bullets, any suggestions on what power to use? This will be my first attempt at reloading going to start with the simple Lee Loader so powder should be on their supplied list. Thanks Mike
