It’s definitely not Ceracote. The finish is flawless. It was done right. Looks matte stainless. Has some grain to it. Not very textured feeling. Really like the look. Mag is correct for the year built. Like the Pacs, don’t mind them at all. This re-finish would have set someone back a pretty...

I recently purchased this pistol. It’s in pretty good shape. Dated to ‘78-‘79 ish. My question is it doesn’t look to be nickel. It’s a matte finish, almost stainless like. Wouldn’t it be a 639? Has blued controls as well. Hardly any wear to speak of on it. Wasn’t shot much. Didn’t get box or...

I have an example above that has a hitch in the initial double action pull of the trigger. I took the side plate off and I think I found the issue. I believe it is the double action surface catching. If I put the pawl to the rear and operate the trigger it goes away. I have included a pic. The...

She was born in 1977. Traded a very nice rifle I didn't care for and a lot cash my way for this NIB with papers and cleaning kit. I'm in hog heaven! I had a set of N frame targets I bought recently for nothing and traded on another forum for the K frame targets in the pic. I've already put 100...

Found one like new in box with extra mag and everything like it came from factory! Guys wants $750 for it. Always wanted a Smith 10mm and one with a frame mounted decocker would be awesome!

Thanks again guys! I used a small flat head acre driver and had to turn it quite a bit to get it flush. Works great now.

Thanks fellas! Such great knowledgeable people on this sight!

The mag release on my pistol has the threaded center bolt extending out farther than the top of the button and it catches my thumb. How do I thread it in a little more so that it's flush? I noticed the two slots in the button but can't turn it much as it stops. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Got another question guys? The magazine release button has a threaded piece in the center and the piece is sticking out frOm the button enough that it annoys me by poking my thumb. How do I get it to thread flush? Thanks.

Thanks for the comments fellas. Will be cheaper getting them relamped. Thanks for the replys. Got 300 rounds to feed her in the morning! She's hungry!

Was gonna ask but forgot in last post. The night sights are about dead. Can I still get replacements from say Novaks or Trijicon? I could send the slide to somebody and they could relamp them I suppose. Any ideas appreciated.

Pics of 3953! Well I did a search on this forum for my pistol model # and I found out the guy I got it from tried to sell it on here a few months ago! Well to say the least I got a lot better deal on it than he originally posted it for! Headed to the range tomorrow. Will give y'all a report...

I'm buying a 3953 tomorrow from a guy on another forum I frequent. It's a police trade, it's in awesome shape from the pics. Has 4 factory mags, original box and manuals, and best of all comes with a brand new Milt Sparks 55BN holster and single mag pouch! I'm getting everything for $450. That...

I have a chance at getting a new in the box Model 58. It has all paperwork and cleaning kit. From original owner! What would be a fair price on this. I know they are all over the place. Thanks in advance. He also has a Model. 27 NIB as well! It's a 4-inch with target grips, hammer, and trigger...
