Gents - I carried an M&P 45 for the final 4+ yrs of my career, was very hesitant about giving up my Sig 226 40, for a "plastic" 45. Went to the range for the transition to the S&W 45 late 2011/ early 2022 and was more than pleasantly surprised - actually enjoyed shooting it! Times change, my...

Thanks for that info, I thought there may be some common parts between those 2 calibers. Bill

I've owned a 10mm for a year or so, like it, enjoy it, no complaints. Just picked up a M&P 45 2.0 and noticed it has a hinged trigger vs the 10mm "safety lever style". Anyone know if a factory 10mm trigger, can be swapped into the 45 version? I like that style better and would like to keep...

Thought I'd ask this here vs the semi auto area. I have scrolled thru the parts lists in the sticky section above and could not find the info. Are the grip screws used on the 39/59/52 series the same size as the 645/745 series? Planning to swap grips on my 745 and would like to go with blued...

CH4 - I believe that is the exact model that I saw before - Greatly appreciate the quick reply. It drives me crazy that my OCD makes me try to track down a "correct" holster for the new to me LH 657 3"! Thanks again, Bill

I tried the search and came up empty, but I know I've read something on it here in the past. I know Lew Horton had S&W make various runs of 3" N frames - 41, 44 SP and 44 M. I thought that one of those runs included a belt holster or it was available for the model, thru S&W. Since I'm always...

The before was nice - the after is nicer - kind of looks like a DA 745 Carry model! Congrats on being the owner of that finely done pistol! Bill in MA

Thanks for the responses, the original wood grips are in nice condition and I think I'll keep them as is. Forgot to mention is has an adjustable rear sight, not the Novak style. Since posting, I checked the SN "TBKxxxx" in "the book", I believe it dates to 1990. Remember seeing these...

Gents - It's at my FFLs currently and I hope to get it by the end of the week, as work time allows. My guess it's a 90% finish overall, clean inside, great trigger and doesn't rattle at all, like an old 5906 I use to own. No box, paperwork or spare mag with the deal. I intend to use it as a...

Thought I'd see if the owner may be out there one more time. Thanks, Bill

Any chance you pinned down when yours was made? Just interested on when this may have been made. I have a 4 screw, "pre-10" same grip style and bbl length as the box, in about the same condition as the box too, but it's a later C series SN. The revolver was given to me a few months ago, which...

Thank you for that info! - They reside on an older 19-2 now, buried in my safe. Thanks, Bill

My addition... I think my 31 no dash falls within this post. This was my first 32 revolver several years ago. It had it's original diamond mangas that were in decent shape, less one crack, but I had these target grips, which are well worn and I think looked perfect for the revolver. They're...

I acquired a collection of firearms a few years back, amongst the stuff were a few handgun boxes, which did not match any of the firearms in the rest of the estate. This is a maroon box only, nothing else, in structurally decent shape, but has splotches of white paint on the top of the lid...

Shotguncoach - Great contribution to the post! May I ask, if you know, what maker of grips are those? I ask, as I'm in possession of a set of grips that my Dad had on his various K frame service revolvers that he carried during his LE career - they are that exact style, but for the K frame -...
