    Sig's Classic P Series

    Sigs S&W Revolvers (and old all metal pistols), Sig P pistols and Beretta 92 pistols are among my favorite. My fav. Sig is a FDE MK25 but I also have an old German 220. They are all great firearms.

    Anyone CCW a 6906 or Other Non-M&P Semi? Any 45acp Models??

    Haven't posted in a LONG time but this made me come over again. I used to have a 5906 type except it had an aluminum frame, can't remember the numbers now. It shot pretty well but got away years ago. I still have a 645 in 95% plus condition in original box/etc. that's retired to the...

    The model 625 variations. An informal pictorial essay.

    625-10 PC The only one I have, a 625-10 Performance Center .45ACP. Wow there are some nice guns posted on here!

    Who Likes Short Barrel N-Frames?

    Nice guns I see here. I only have two, a 629 TALO and a 625 PC. Most of my S&Ws are K/L frame.

    BEST Concealed Carry Revolver

    Humm... S&W I do carry is 442 with action work by Clarks. Very small, light and shoots well. I'd like to carry my 681-4 PC but it's too rare and it is a little heavy. Same with Colt DSII. Nice compact 6 shot but it's becoming to valuable as a collectors piece now. I'm very satisfied with the...

    New (to me) model 681

    Nice gun. Is that a 6 shot? Here's my 681PC but it's a 7 shot. Sorry for the bad pic.

    S&W 64-3 New Grips and question

    Hi guys, I just got in and installed a set of factory grips on my 64-3 and removed the bad fitting Pachmayrs. It really looks good with these grips I think. I did notice that the mainspring screw in the gripframe is sticking out (see it in the photo). I thought it was supposed to sit flush or...

    Model 64 or Model 65?

    I was glad to see this post. I just got and installed the wood S&W grips on my 64-3 and removed the bad fitting Pachmayrs. I like this setup much better. I was curious about the mainspring screw in the gripframe sticking out. I made a light attempt to tighten it and it wouldn't move so I stopped...

    Help me buy my first revolver

    In the last month, I bought a new Ruger SP101 TALO .357 for $469 plus tax at a gun show from a trusted dealer, and a used (obviously) S&W 64-3 .38 special for $350 out the door from Clarks Guns. Ruger's a 2", Smith's a 4". I did add some factory Ruger/Hogue finger groove grips to the SP101 so I...

    Ouch!! .44 mag's hurt.

    I bet that IS a handful with the small grips. Looks like the same Eagles that are on my 625-10PC but on a gun with much more power. I just bought this 629-6 Talo snub .44 and it's grips are larger so I hope they are usable. I really like the way they look. If you like these grips we can always...

    Favorite optic such as Burris Fastfire?

    I have a Fastfire II on my 686+. It's mounted on a quick release American Defense base made for it. They are mounted on a Weaver rail that I had machined to accept the American Defense thick screw and also had a "sight channel" machine in the Weaver to use as an iron sight should I want to...

    Two S&W's, one 5 screw and one modern

    Thanks Patriot, it's actually my favorite but the 686 is a very close second. I'd hate to have to pick one (not based on $$ value). Something about that Birdsong green/black is just slick! Bill

    Two S&W's, one 5 screw and one modern

    Well I didn't get the K38/14 whatever it was. Still on the fence about the 329. Since I didn't have pics of the old K38 to post I thought I'd show a few other of my favorites. Excuse the Colt but I do like it! From top left around the clock. S&W 625-10PC .45acp, S&W 681-4PC .357 7 shot, Colt...
