No pitting. Just talked to the owner and he will accept $500. I don't think he will go any lower than that so I will edit the original post to reflect this last number. Also, I found out that we I can ship to an FFL for less than the amount in the original ad. If the revolver doesn't go soon...

bump No interest?

bumping to the top WITH BIG PRICE DROP! Please have a look. wg

bumping this ad back to the top. wg

Final Price Drop. If revolver doesn't sell at $500, the ad will be pulled. Note changes in shipping charges. For Sale: 3rd Model (Prewar) S&W .44 Special Cartridge 6-shot revolver aka Model 1926 Hand Ejector, Prewar or Wolf & Klar Model. It was sold to the Houston PD by the Wolf & Klar company...

I bought a better camera and took a few more pics... they came out better. Also, got the key, removed the lock and took it to the Bandera Gun Club where I am a member and had one of the gun smiths look at it and he said the revolver was fine to shoot. I bought a box of .44 Specials and shot 30...

Lefty, I sent a note to my friend telling him his options for selling the revolver were either invest some money into restoring (I did get a quote for this) and selling it in its original condition or to sell as-is as a shooter. The revolver looks MUCH better than the pictures show. If he...

There isn't much real information for Medina Lake but it seems to be down about 40'. I live on some acreage about two miles from the lake.

Not sure how to assess the mechanical condition of a revolver other than shoot it... the revolver seems fairly clean (bore) with the rifling in good shape and the cylinder seems tight. Do I just go out and shoot it?

Pistol belongs to a friend of my wife who wants to sell. He knows NOTHING about firearms and that is where I came into the picture... I am a firearms enthusiast but know nothing about vintage S&W revolvers; my weapons are modern and some vintage Russian stuff. Anyway, I wanted to ID and find...

Name is wiredgeorge. Live in the Texas Hill Country and I rebuild/sell vintage Japanese motorcycle carburetors for a living. I have been shooting for quite awhile and while not new to firearms, just bought a .40 Sigma a few months ago. Went to the Saxet Gun Show looking for a Taurus 24/7 but...

I am thinking about night sights. I haven't seen a lot of sources beyond what is up in the sticky thread on parts. Any other sources? Couple of questions: 1. best color? 2. how the heck do you install front sight? The stock sight looks like it was melted and/or glued. 3. how do the lights...

The rear site is fairly easy to bump/move. When you build something to a price point, some components will not be top shelf. The rear sight is a good example. While the sight slides laterally in their slot, they can be moved if bumped. It would have been better to put them on a screw actuated...
