Get a 25-5...you won't regret it. 45 Colt is amazing. So far I have 25-5 and 28...and several 62x that don't count for this thread :P . Would like a 29 and 27 at some point myself.

According to the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson, should be 1971 ship date. I'm sure the real experts will be along with more info.

Thanks everyone....I cannot wait until I get it and put a few rounds through it. Froggie, don't worry, only thing to think about was my college tuition payment vs. new gun....but then I realized layaway was a beautiful thing ;) Actually, my dad gifted me a 4" 66-2 that had been a local...

It's been quite a while since I've logged in, but at work yesterday a beautiful piece came in from a regular customer who is a collector. Of course, I had to grab it and put it aside....to think about it. I'm going to get a very fair price on it, and will tuck it away with the rest of my...

Please bear with me...I have a question after the story. I ordered a new replacement cylinder for my Model 60-9, clearly stating the caliber as 357 magnum, and offering the serial number. The guy said he really didn't need the serial number, and said he'd get it out in a couple weeks. We got...

My 60-9 was manufactured in '96, so this would still have to be done if they are sending me a new cylinder?

If I get a new cylinder for my 60-9, does it have to be retimed? Someone told me it would be, but I thought it had the same cutouts and was identical to the old one. Help?

Hi all, Hope this is in the proper forum. I have a S&W 60-9 357 Magnum that has one of the cylinder stop cutouts (proper term???) on the cylinder a little chipped. Whenever this particular cutout gets to the bottom of the frame to lock into place, it will function fine however, you can rotate...

Okay, now I gotta throw one in...'specially since it's "new to me". Bought it earlier last month on my 21st birthday from work. Got a good deal on it, and it's one of my favorite N-Frames (not counting the ones my father gave me). Four inch, magnaported, 629-4. The serial number prefix puts...

SanJoseScott, I recently started doing similar things with places I do business with. An example of this is Amazon.com. I'm a college student and purchase most of my textbooks from them. As soon as I learned they were pushing gun "buy back" programs, I refuse to do business with them...

Beautiful gun. Very nice find!

I've heard the same thing from some of the news sources I follow. I'm curious to know what they will be charging him with and what prompted the search and seizure...and if there was a warrant involved.

Very nice looking thread. I have wanted a 58 ever since my dad had me shooting his 4" model 57 when I was a kid...sadly he sold it years ago. This is on the top of my bucket list ;)

Open Carry is good if it is the only option. In Wisconsin, we were stuck with Open Carry with a TON of restrictions for years until we finally got the CCW law. I just turned 21 earlier this year, and finally got my permit. However, before that, I was stuck with Open Carry. In Wisconsin, 18...

The LGS I work at part time has been out of stock on J-frames for nearly a month/6 weeks. We've had a 638 on backorder at all of our distributors for over a year for one of our customers. None to be had. The last one we had was a 642 with lock...now we can't even find those.
