I'm trying to figure out this serial date for a M36, AAP8525 Tx Jeff

This gun sounds similar to a 27-2 I recently saw with exception to the side plate issue. I passed on the $450 price but it was gone 2 weeks later. It seems like the N frames draw a premium in any condition these days. IMO - Keep looking and go for high quality, down the road you'll be glad you...

Around 1980

Heck yea or just maybe the dollar is shrinking quickly...

Really nice gun, even better price.

Welcome to the 27 club, I myself have a 5" nickel 27-2. If you are indeed getting a dash 2, it's likely prior to the 80's. First of all give the gun a gentle but thorough cleaning with a good gun oil. Nickel can be a beautiful finish but you need to be careful to keep it that way. When handling...

And another 5" 27-2...

What about a J frame IE: model 36. Jeff

I have a model 36 (no dash) that I fell in love with a couple years ago. My wife gave up the Sig Sauer and claimed the M36 as hers and I haven't seen it since. Yours is a 36-7 which has 7 major revisions since mine was made. Since you now have a 38 caliber in the house why don't you consider a...

The "686" titles are my mistake when I downloaded from an email. A friend emailed these to me just today. I didn't know this was a topic already in this forum. Jeff

First it was baby formula, then pet food but now you should watch out when buying anything from China , including bright, shiny ammunition. A guy came into the police department the other day to ask a favor. He had a S&W 629 (.44 Mag) that he wanted to dispose of after a mishap at the range...
