Can't beat that 4" blue 27.

I'd leave it as is. It's a shooter anyways.

I'm surprised it didn't go to H. H. Harris. They got the cool 4" pre-27's back in the day. Super rare.

I'm not a gunsmith, but I play one on TV. I bought two 38 M&P 4th change revolvers. One was really hard to cock in single action. Took it apart and found the main spring was a Bubba home made special. Bought a used one on Ebay, replaced it and it worked beautifully. I traded for a second 38 M&P...

I understand a lot of coin shop owners are being inundated with 90% junk silver and can't sell them. So, they are selling to wholesalers who are selling to refiners who are melting them down. Might cause a shortage o 90% down the road.

On the glass cover you need a little sign that says : " In case of emergency, break glass".

Funny how H H Harris got all the cool S&W revolvers like the 4 inch pre-27's and the 5 inch pre-29's.

I have been gravitating towards the older pre-war era S&W revolvers, especially the M&P's. I like the fit and finish as the craftsmanship of that era was second to none, and they didn't have CNC technology. I prefer the ones that show honest wear, but no rust or pitting due to misuse. If they...

Can you post some pictures of this pre-29? I believe a 5 inch pre-29 is a big deal. Not too many made.

Illegal dust? Dang.

Wow, talk about pimped out! Very nice. Can you tell us what the seller was asking for this piece?

I personally like lanyard rings on military revolvers. I'd look for one on Ebay if that gun was mine. Those grips are early post war sharp shoulder magnas and are worth something. Sell those and use funds to find replacement 1917 grips if you want. Nice revolver.

I used to be a pilot. That plane looks like a death trap.

I don't quite understand it, so I don't invest in it. I do know that it exist in the internet sphere somewhere. My concern is you won't be able to access it if the internet goes down. I prefer precious metals. Something tangible that you can hold in your hand.

Boy, at that price I would have sprained my wrist whipping out my wallet to access my credit card! Good score.
