Is it possible its been dry fired a lot and the firing pin is peened (which might explain the ftf) and the corresponding lip of the chambers near the extractor are nicked (which could explain the difficulty ejecting)?

Thank you very much! They are available from Altamont's website....

Here are my two (and among my favorite!): Former New York City Department of Corrections with a 3 inch barrel: Former Suffolk County, New York, Police Department Model 64-3:

Thanks! @bronco45: Question#1: I got it with that bobbed hammer; I don't shoot IDPA with it, and I can't tell with any certainty whether or not the previous owner did or not. The hammer isn't just bobbed; the single action ledge is also not there...The gun probably didn't come from the...

And here's my latest addition, a former NYC Department of Corrections Model 64 with a three inch barrel, sporting round butt oversize combats with finger grooves in Super Rosewood:

I love both, but only have two Model 36's left: I just recently sold these three to members of my club (I lowered the prices so I could secure visitation rights...lol) I prefer three inch J-Frames, so the last two were a little easier to part with...but I was still a little misty...

Former NYPD Model 10 with Walnut Checkered Panels... (when I bought it, it had a stainless DAO bobbed hammer. Apparently, its owner, a retired NYPD captain, had the hammer replaced in the eighties... I switched it for a target hammer that I had lying around): Model 36 with Rosewood...

It depends how old your gun is... the 36-10 has an internal lock and a frame mounted firing pin. If the firing pin on your gun is on the hammer, it won't work. You'd need to find one with the hammer mounted firing pin.

Looks like it was sometime in 1984.

SCSW puts it at 1981. Sounds like a nice gun, enjoy!

I do too...the ability to order them with medallions is why I prefer them to other stocks...and it seems now that they're offering a lot more styles than just a couple of months ago. Your RB Model 10 looks good in those service stocks! I have two more sets on the way, one for a former NYPD...

Here's the Model 15-2 (former Suffolk County, NY PD) By the Serial Number, it looks like this one left the factory in 1963:

I could have made a grip out of a Nerf Football, and those .44 Magnum rounds still would have hurt. That's why I only shoot .44 Special out of my 629...

I'd buy Colts, and a Browning HiPower. The only thing that's stopping me from doing that right now is that Smith and Wesson exists...

Thanks all! @Gorenut...I just put the bonded ivory stocks on last month...they're holding up well so far! And I saw your thread...inspired me to make this one actually. That 627PC looks awesome! I really like the look of their Rosewood Stocks. I have a set on the way for the Model 15-2 that I...
