GL9CK, I agree with you , the only way to learn is to try and fail sometimes, this makes us all better people. At least it was only the sight and not the gun itself. Good luck, hope the filing will work.

Wow, review the following link, may help out.. YouTube Mean not to be a jerk, seriously, hope you are able to save the sight. Good luck

Thanks fellas, I figured as much, just wanted to make sure it was a former CHP gun. Also, this gun has a green front sight vice a red front sight. Does anyone know if that was a factory sight or after market? Thanks

Just picked up a nice 67 no dash. It had O.H.B stamped on left side. The shop tried to say that stamp means it was a former California Hwy Patrol model gun.. Anyone know what it means? Thanks JD

Ok fellas, My father and I had a discussion/disagreement as to which S&W .357 was the best overall. Our top 3 were the Model 66, 27-2, and 586. I am a big fan of the 66 in 3 inch, but to be fair, we will just say overall best .357mag (no matter barrel length) between these 3 models.. They are...

Fellas, Thanks for the replies. I am not looking to remove it ( I like it, makes it pop, looks good). I was hoping to find out if it was done aftermarket or did it come from factory this way? My bad, sorry I should have stated this in my original post. However, good to know how to...

I picked up a model 36 with no dash. Serial # dates it 1963. It is a nickel gun, however it has brass trigger, hammer and cylinder release. I know S&W made a few of these in a special run. Anyone ever seen these, is it factory, if not factory does it hurt or help the price? Thanks

All, I have a 27-2, very nice condition, little use if any at all. I don't have the box. My question is, I noticed all the factory engraving is in gold. Has anyone ever seen this? I know from the S&W catalog the gun was produced in 77-78 with serial # starting with a N. Any help would...

"The subdued Punisher was a nice touch. Good looking stick." HDHNTER, thanks, really appreciate the feedback. I didn't zoom in but on the scope I also included a subdued Spartan.

Here is my 15-22 Just lil custom paint job I did. Please let me know what you think. Love this lil rifle. Drive tacs at a 100yds. Mounted a Nikon 2x7x32 P-22 rimfire with BDC. Great lil setup..

Few months ago, I picked up a nice 27-2, looks like never been fired. According to the 4th edition, it is from 78 or 79. However, I noticed on the barrell (both sides) the stamping is colored gold. Has anyone ever seen one like this? Thanks

65-3 Kernel, Thanks for the info. I was thinking it must be something like that. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

I just picked up a 65-3 with a 3inch barrell. I tried to look up the date in the S&W 4th edition, however, I have a few questions. I am assuming it is a 1983 or 1984. However I would like to know what the other markings mean. Under the 65-3 , inside the cylinder on the frame is A26 then a S...

V Info Absalom, Thanks for the info.

S&W Victory Fellas, I would appreciate lil help. Picked up a nice Victory model today along with US Govt holster (person said original to gun). Little info on gun: topstrap is stamped "U.S. Property G.H.D." In front of the "U.S." is a small insignia that I can't ID. Right side of the...
