Thanks to all for the replies. Haven't gotten back to it just yet... I think I'll avoid "more whack", but appreciate the humor. :) Old No7

Me too -- Plot #637k. Somewhere in the cellar I have a tobacco root that the JD Distillery sent to me because it was found on my 1' x 1' plot of land. Back to S&Ws, I wish my .32 H&R Mag had a 5" bull barrel like the 63-4 does. I recall an old post on this forum where someone (GreenFrog?)...

I'd just posted about the Mdl 66-2 on the right (see image below) in another forum here. I just picked this one up recently for a really NICE price and it appears to have been shot very little and very well cared for. I've already replaced the stock stainless hammer with a case-colored one, as...

Here's my L'il and Big Brother S&Ws posing for a family pix. On the left is my Mdl 63-4 .22 with the heavy 5" barrel. I really like the heavy profile better than the skinny 4" barrel that's on my Mdl 63 in .32 H&R Mag (it's the other brother, who is not shown). I'd posted about this 5" .22...

Actually, the "ATF" might take the whole gun!!! :eek: ( Old original posting -- with new original humor ) Old No7

Wow, I just got a new "Like" on my 10-year old posting... Funny thing is though, after getting into vintage single shots (about 180 degrees opposite the M&P .22) I ended up selling that one off... It was fun while I had it though. Old No7

Mein Gott! Es ist so schön wie der Preis hoch ist! Old No7

Old habits die hard, I guess... I just like the large easy-to-grip spur. Plus, as an added benefit -- both the Target Trigger and Target Hammer are STEEL, not MIM. (Although the stock MIM parts will likely outlast all of us..) Old No7

Yes, you are right! I don't consider that an "upgrade" -- but a MUST DO. :) Old No7

I received some guidance from a retired Police Armorer many years ago, and the vast majority of S&W revolvers can be improved by (a) Shooting a lot! :) Or (b) [if you're handy with shop tools and know the trick to removing the S&W sideplate without prying it up] the shortest route to an...

One benefit of not spending 9 to 12 nights a month in hotels (national accounts) is I'm getting much more bench time for various cellar projects... OK, I'll admit right off that most buyers of the SSR Pro Series won't think any upgrades are needed, and yeah I get that. I just happen to like...

At a price of $1,400... If you don't think you overpaid -- then maybe you just bought it 5 or 10 years early... That's how I rationalize my purchases... Old No7

Nice ones! But to continue with the theme... You'll never get to see my 631 then!?!? Old No7

It seems I've had a love/hate relationship with the J-frame Model 63s... First I had a 4" one, then sold that when someone made me a decent offer for it. Then I found a 3" one, which was really handy to carry in the woods, but someone else wanted it more than me, and I sold off that one too...

Well, if that "ugly" l'il gun works well for the boss on her taxes -- just imagine what a beautiful 44 Mag would do!!! Old No7
