Hi all, its been a good while since I posted. I just made a trade for this gun and would like a little information if possible. I see 41XX4 and some other stampings I am not used to seeing on Smiths, and wondering if someone would be so kind as to date this one for me. The grips were very...

Thanks, I just wanted to really get a feel for the value. I know its worth more than 350, that's what people are paying around here for rossi and taurus guns and I would let it stay in the safe forever before giving it away. I think I will start at 500 and work down if no interest at that...

Thank you sir, that sounds more realistic.

LOL nope but thanks I think.

Hi fellers, long time no post for me. I need some information and I know this is the right place to gather it. I have a stainless 640 Smith j frame SERIAL NO. CEN358X that I bought new ( I can't remember the year ) and I am considering selling off for something better suited for the wife to...

Wow, nice!

Nice gun, I'd hit it!

Thanks fellas, I am planning on trying her out tomorrow. I will post a range report if I am able to shoot.

Just made it home with my newest member of the stable. A model 629-2 with the 8/38 topped off with a tasco dot optic on a B-square mount. I can't wait to shoot her and find out if it was really worth $525.00 out the door:D Here is the obligatory picture to prove it happened. Jim

You got a great deal, I bought one just like it a couple of weeks back for $600............./sigh

I know it's a long shot but I am looking for an extractor rod for my 27-2. It is slightly buggered on the very end (pliers) I suspect. Every time I handle this my eyes go right to it. I have given thought to getting a stainless one and polishing it to a shine. Any opinions? Brownell's has a...

Found something, thanks all. Will post it up if deal goes through.

Thanks guys, I can't seem to put it down.............Oh dang, the wife is home think I will put it away.....shhhhhhhhhhhh! J/K she is ok with my obsession with guns after 33 years.

Ok fellers, I still haven't bought the book and would like to date this Model 27-2 I got today. It's been at a local shop and I have been making an offer every time I stop in. Today they took it, $600 out the door. Not sure if that was the best of deals but this action is SO sweet I just...

Thank ye fellers, I can't wait to shoot it. I had one of these back in the 80's that shot oh so good and let it slip away. This one's not going anywhere. Thanks for the update on the date. What's the name of that book again? J/K, I've got to stop buying stuff long enough to afford one. Jim
