FWIW. About that front sight you're looking for. Jack had installed Tritium sights on both my 640s, and he may still have a few in stock, or at least be able to point you in the right direction to a source. It's worth a call to find out. However, after firing a few rounds the ports do tend to...

Just wanted to put my 2 cents into this discussion. I own 2 Weigand Model 640's, one in .38 special & the other in .357 magnum. Jack Weigand built both of these guns for me back in 1994 & 1995 respectively. They are my favorite carry guns, though I have tucked the .38 away in the safe to pass...

Model 27 Not Laser Engraved I have to correct one thing said in the above posts about this gun, that is, the engraving method used is machine line engraving, not laser engraving. I have one of the recently done 4" Model 29's with machine line engraving, and one of the Model 640's with same said...

Got a question for you; namely where did you find your 627 UDR? My dealer cannot come up with one from any of their distributors. I too, have wanted one ever since the first editions came out back in '99, but I refuse to pay the exorbitant prices that are being asked for the older ones. That...

I recently picked up a set (3) of these neat little guns, and wondered about the durability of the finish on one in particular, the color case-hardened model 40. Anyone have experience with these 2 models, if so what do you think of them? The Model 42 is all black, aluminum frame, & I do believe...

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the helpful info. NE450No2, that Prolix looks like a worthwhile product, I'll order a bottle & give it a try. It seems as though nickel guns may be easier to maintain than I've been led to believe.

Thank you GF for the helpful response. I have a tube of Flitz on hand, but wasn't sure about using it on nickel finishes. Good to know it'll work. I may pick up some of the Mother's polishing compound as well. But, what do you use in the bore & cylinder chambers? Btw, those are some beautiful...

I have recently found myself starting a collection of nickel plated revolvers in 3 frame sizes, ie. N, K, & J. Having never owned nickel revolvers before, because I had always heard they were difficult to clean without damaging the finish, I was hoping someone on the forum could advise me as to...

I, also have recently bought a 686-SSR and it is among the most accurate of any S&W revolvers in my collection. The lock up is bank vault tight, and the double-action trigger is smooth as glass. Single-action is as light as any I've felt. Fit & finish are first rate. I've owned several 686...

Another consideration is Craig Spegel's wood boot grips, which he has recently adapted to the model 40. He makes some of the most comfortable, as well as beautiful grips on the market. If you like the uncle mikes boot grip, which spegel designed, then you should like his wood grips as well. He...

100% revolvers; Smith&Wesson double-actions, & Freedom Arms single-actions in .22/.357/.44 And a 1/2 dozen Marlin lever-action rifles, the perfect companion to the revolver. I feel pretty well covered, firearms wise. Use to own several 1911 style pistols, as well as several Sigs (a gun that's...

Congratulations on your new find. I'm sure you'll be very happy with it. I have bought and traded quite a few S&W revolvers over the years, but some have been just to good to let get away. The PC Model 67 Comp is definitely one of the keepers.

Hi, new to the forum, though I have been looking in and reading for quite some time. Thought I might be of some help on the subject of this particular revolver as I own 2 of them. I absolutely love them. The actions are tuned to perfection, forged trigger & hammer, finish is quite durable...
