I reckon I could participate. I added the picture of just the watches since an awful lot of people don't know they made these. I guess you can tell I’m partial to S&W stainless and gen 3 autos…

I’ll take it. I’ll take it. Prefer local pickup; I’m not far away

I have a nice Model 4556 in very good condition with Hogue grips to sell. A couple of very light scuffs but no deep scratches or gouges. Shoots perfectly. Seven round magazine. Factory night sights, though they are getting dim. No box or papers. Finest concealed carry pistol ever, and extremely...

***Sold pending Funds*** I have a very nice 41 .22LR 5 1/2 heavy barrel; not mint, but quite nice. SN A657102. If you need more pictures I can email or text. I'd like $650 for this. I'm in south Texas and will be traveling to the Texas panhandle next week so could meet along the way if that...

I've thought I might like to have a laser sight, but would want it to be unobtrusive...there doesn't seem to be much to pick from, especially since I have a 4556 and a 4586 and am not interested in giving 'em up... I understand LaserMax makes a guide rod laser for some of the plastic pistols...

Try doing the search as "945PC" and you'll get a bunch...I have its younger brother, a -1...a real sweetheart, ain't it!

I'll take it...PM to follow when I get back to my computer.

If you are looking for real world information about bullet effectiveness, google "Terminal ballistics as viewed in a morgue" but I warn you, don't start reading it unless you have a couple of hours on your hands! Fascinating!

What a terrific resource this forum is! I can't thank you enough; you answered my question and more. I was pretty sure there hadn't been a spring there, as I'm careful. But that second hole sure implies a spring should be there, so it is quite comforting to know. As you surmised, I have one of...

I just disassembled my 4556 to clean it and need some help. The two thin levers either side of the hammer run in grooves milled in the frame and pivot on the same pin as the hammer. There are blind holes drilled in these grooves for small coil springs.The lever on the left, which is the magazine...

I'm gonna offer a slightly contrary view...if $700 was the going rate, I'd consider it a bargain. It's one of the finest pistols of all time. We should count our blessings that they can be found routinely for half that! If the rest of the world wised up, they'd be bringing three times that and...

Thanks; that's really good to hear. I have fair sized mitts, so my pinkie is going to feel lonely, but I've carried a model 60 for years. While it's no fun to shoot with no more than it has to hang on to, I've always qualified with it. Like I said earlier, I don't expect to enjoy shooting a...

Well, I bought it on GB from a thousand miles away, so I won't be able to confirm whether I like it before buying it, but I don't really mind; if I don't like to shoot it, I'll enjoy looking at it... I can see that the grip is too short to even consider as a duty weapon, but looks like it will...

I just won a 4553TSW on GB; haven't seen it yet, of course, but pretty sure I'm going to like it. It is one of the early no-rail versions with the short 6 round butt...that was why I stayed with it and bid it up; hadn't seen one offered before. Can anyone enlighten me on the history? Apparently...

This has turned into quite a thread! I like what Squibb said...four people will give you five opinions...it's kinda like the old fable of the six blind men and the elephant; it depends on what angle you're looking from. Every opinion you see on this thread is "right" in that it accurately...
