Congratulations - a beautiful pistol.

Just saw a beautiful picture of a like new one posted by Jackthedog. I'm amazed at its condition.

I believe I finally concluded it was a finish by Birdsong a non OEM for S&W. Birdsong's work is highly regarded; however, that was not what I was looking for and therefore did not bid. Black-T Protective Coatings for Metals, Weapons and PartsBirdsong – Black – T | Protective Coatings for Metals

I am looking at a 3906 in black stainless to purchase. The product code on the end label which serializes to the pistol states 103708. Additionally, the finish and features on the end label indicate S, and FS. According to the Standard Catalog of S&W a black finished pistol would have a ZK on...

Cocking the hammer did not help.

I received a PM from another forum member which triggered the following: Thank you - that was it. When the grips where fully seated it was impossible to pass the screw from one side to the other. The screw was made with threads then a narrower shank and then the head. I had to fully seat the...

Quick question. I just bought two pair of Pachmayr Gripper Grips for a new 29 classic and a new 586 classic both are square butts. The grip for the 29 fits fine; however, the grip for the 586 the hammer spring is in the way and blocks the grip screw. I think I have heard about this before but...

I appreciate everyone's response. If I can't find a reasonable priced -7 or -9 I will probably try to find a current classic 25. I really wanted a 4 or 5" barrel rather than a 6.5" but I am sure I will still enjoy shooting it.

Wondering how the reputation of 25-5s are in 45LC for accuracy. I have read quite a bit about -7 and -9s as being accurate but don't recall anything about -5s.

Love to squirrel hunt. I have used a Ruger Bisley single action 22 as well as my Smith 41. They are both fun but I prefer the Ruger. Next time I go I think I will try my Smith 617 4". You can use anything if you have patience. Just pick what you like shooting at the range.

I just recently purchased one from Bud's. I believe Kentucky gun co has it for about $780 which is less than I paid for mine. I Luv my 29 4".

Almost forgot I am actively searching for a Classic 25 in 45LC

I just recently bought a 29 4" and a 586 6" classic. They are really nice revolvers. Around 2007 there were a number of classics that where 3" and some special Lew Horton's. I believe I bought 5 different ones various calibers and models but all N frames. talking about real,classics I just...

Thanks I put them on my Midway wish list.
