    What is the attraction of the Model 28?

    My 28 was my first S&W and my first revolver. A friend brought his Python and I brought the 28 to the range and we each fired both guns. We both agreed the 28 shot better in single action mode and weren't crazy about either in double action.

    Why the shortage?

    Earlier this year I went to a large gun show in Costa Mesa where several ammo suppliers normally have large booths. The show anticipated the demand correctly and had barricades set up and metered people into the ammo booths. I asked one of the show personnel how long the wait and she told me...

    Walmart tip

    I was in Walmart today and got some of what I was looking for. I talked to the manager and he said he no longer does the ordering, it is done at corporate. He said he doesn't even know until the afternoon what is coming in tomorrow . The web site might be reporting it was ordered, maybe even...

    5 screw Model 27 C&R?

    I'm in Ca and just picked up off the web a pre 27 with a five inch barrel made in 54, in excellent condition, in the low 1100's and was surprised I got it. I had seen several that sold in the 1300 to 1500 range. I hope you can get better pictures to judge the condition for yourself.

    OK, it's Offical Gun shows have become a joke....

    I seem to be in a different boat then most posters here. I just started collecting two years ago. I agree with all the negatives mentioned, but I go to just gain experience, handle guns I have an interest in, and make contacts. Last show I asked a guy who was showing a few Smiths if he had a...

    New member just moved to CA

    The roster does make it tough, but not impossible. I just picked up a 27-2 in August at a gun show. Expect to pay a bit more and have a smaller selection. Check the Cal Guns web site.

    About to buy 19-3 in CA, what do you think?

    I'm in S. CA too and I think $700 is way too much. This seems to be a common gun and you should be able to find one at a gun show or off the web from a CA seller. I did. Off roster guns can be purchased in a private party transaction at an FFL. Check Cal Guns web site.

    Lever gun advice

    I would first consider what I want to do with it. Keep it in a safe? Then it doesn't matter. Hunt? A 94 carbine is nice and light, easy to carry. Shoot at a range? I would pass on the carbine, too much recoil. I have a 30.30 carbine, 32 Win special and a 25-35, the last two with octagon...
