Thanks for the comments and 6Gunsonly I appreciate the offer and I'll get back with you on that.........................

This one shipped 70 years ago today. Serial # S 161009. Its cousin in the safe will turn 70 next month S 165884.

yes, plugged lanyard hole and S stamped on the side plate. Very good condition and the grips are really nice. Machined "in the white" washers.

Those are nice looking M&P's! I have a 5" s/n S814745 with the pre-war style grips.

I don't have any more pictures to post, maybe 6GUNSONLY will chime in. In addition to the cutout in the shroud there is less of the front locking pin visible compared to my other 5 screw N frames. Really looks like an earlier barrel to me. Also the front of shroud to barrel angle looks a little...

Forum member 6 Gunsonly recently adopted an early 5 screw .357 in the 84,xxx ser. # range with the 8 3/8" bbl. We were comparing his with my identical 167,xxx serial number gun and noticed a difference in the front sight ramp/blade. His also is a little different in the ejector rod shroud area...

Welcome from the opposite corner of the state!

Don't sweat it too much. Mine was not near as bad as I expected, should have done it sooner. Its been almost 2 years and it has never hurt since. They took me back early afternoon and I was home that night!

I like it!

Yes full size lightweight 1911, .45 ACP with one spare mag.

Went to the Hoover (Birmingham) AL show this past weekend and picked up this 5 screw Highway Patrolman. Has some blue wear at the muzzle and non-matching serial numbered grips otherwise pretty good condition. Serial # S 12058X so I'm guessing 1955. Seller was adamant that this old holster had to...

I really like the Simply Rugged one that I have. I carry a 5" J frame and it works really well. I think its called a Sourdough model.

What I carry most is a 5" model 60 in a Simply Rugged cross draw holster. Works good while on the tractor. I sometimes carry the 3" version but I seem to shoot the 5" better. I like the light weight of the J frames.

The grips are period correct but not original to the gun as you can see by the serial numbers.

I bought the first Sig 365 I saw. I wasn't looking for a small 9 but the feel and especially the trigger sold me on it. I had recently bought a Glock 43 but it now lives the wife's car. So far it has been 100% reliable and I shoot it better than I expected.
