Sorry for the low quality photos, but my brother said the .44 appears to have original bluing, and 3 1/2" barrel (?), and the grip panels are unmarked. But you knowledgeable collectors will recognize the style and therefore, the maker. I sure appreciate your feedback and info on the old...

Thanks guys, I will be getting photos from my brother this evening and get them on this post asap! I hit him with your questions about the grip panels, bluing, barrel length, etc...and should get some answers for you. He came into this beauty paired with a pristine 1983 Colt Python with...

Hello folks, I have been away from the forum for awhile and was hoping to get some information for my brother. He purchased a .44 SW Special hand ejector, SN#2300, which dates it to 1909, I believe. The top sight ramp is a King modification and I think the barrel was shortened (3"?). Can you...

I found this wonder in a dusty, local shop. The hand tooled leather is very well done with an oak leaf and acorn pattern. It is very big, 13" length over all and over sized in general. It appears to be for a large frame revolver with a 6" barrel. There are no maker's marks with the exception...

I had my Cannon Patriot safe stolen during a burglary to a storage unit this summer. The thieves hopefully got a hernia or disc damage lifting it into their truck during a thunderstorm. Local law enforcement found it in a nearby lake and called me to recover it. The crooks did exactly as...

Congratulations Sir, I enjoyed the same right-of-passage about nine months ago, after 30 years and three agencies. Our job now is to be healthy and outlive our CalPERS retirement account! Enjoy. Lance

Sorry about that, I never meant to overexpose you. I just got carried away by the moment.

The 25-2 has had very few rounds put through it, as the turn line is almost non-existent. That said, I sure would shoot it but I first must gather some .45 ACP. I traded all of my old .45 bullet inventory for most of the parts to build an AR-15, oh the humanity...

Well, at least the Chinese are importing our American raw materials to make the case! My wife loves her Model 627-5. I worry that she would leave me for it if it could provide a steady income... You bought yours for a great price, enjoy!

Hey, That baby is a twin of the one I just put up on this forum! As for price, your wife did you proud brother. Enjoy shooting the gift and hugging the giver. Waistgunner

Hello fellow forum members, It has been many months (or years?) since I have been able to share any new-to-me Smith and Wesson revolvers with you all. But lately, they have been falling into my lap, (ouch.) I purchased these two beautiful works-of-art from separate friends recently. The...

I am contemplating a Smith and Wesson No. 2 Army which is prominently displayed in a local shop. The revolver is in very good shape and appears original. It is accompanied by a factory letter dated 1971 (pre Mr. Jinks?) which acknowledges the weapon but also advised the owner at the time that...

Gjamison, I think I would be ecstatic to own such a piece of history, congratulations! Lance (Waistgunner)
