    Picked up a used 915 this week...

    Looks nice. I have been eyeing the 915/910s that have been showing up for reasonable lately. Seems like many are around $250 or sometimes less coming from Israel police/security trade ins. Lots of guns are carried more than shot, probably explains why yours is excellent inside and a little...

    S&W Model 3913 vs. Ruger LC9

    I wish S&W would make a slightly scaled up 9mm version of the 380 Bodyguuard. I love my 380BG, even though its 380, now a 9mm BG that is slim and pocket-worthy would be great.

    I have a 61-3, Bought it a few months ago, gun looks like it was never fired, in box and soft case with factory paperwork Has one blue mag and one nickel mag, both marked S&W on the base. According to the previous owner, the nickel mag is a spare purchased along with the gun, but not with it...

    The future of collecting S&W autos-what's your crystal ball say?

    I seem to remember when the "wondernine" craze hit, there were a lot of model 10 M&P revolvers that people ignored and went for low prices at shops while everyone bought into the new market. Eventually, they went up in value - Well went up some anyway. I picked up some model 15 and 10s for...

    Will the 59/659 ever get any respect?

    I agree - the M-59 is underappreciated and I bought a wonderful clean example of a 59 for $300 with box. I've been buying a lot of under appreciated metal S&W guns lately as people trade them in for CCW guns. I too have a CCW ( S&W Bofyguard 380 & a 457 when) but lots of folks like the...

    New to the forums. New Bodyguard 380 owner

    I purchased a new bodyguard 380 on Thanksgiving day 2011 (EAT SN# range) and its functioned perfectly - literally without fail for over 600+rounds. I purchased 10 boxes of Federal Champion ball ammo the same day (it was on sale for $12.99/box 50) It went through all 500 just fine and is very...

    469 Vs 6904 What's Different/ Better?

    I've seen both the 469 and 6904. One looks a little more refined and has the wrap-around grip. 469's seem to go cheaper and still look feel great - Is their any significant reason to go with a 6904 instead of a 469? Opinions appreciated.

    Model 457 compact 45ACP

    I agree the 457 is great and under-appreciated. I picked up an excellent condition 457 from a local dealer a month ago for $279 out the door price! When I went to pick it up after regitering it on my permit he said "here you go" and handed me the factory box that had the paperwork and 3 spare...

    Hi From Western NY

    Greetings- I am a Smith & Wesson enthusiast and small collector. I've been collecting guns for many decades now and have grown an appreciation for S&W quality. I collect all kinds of guns from 1880s to modern, so I like just about anything. I've been doing some research on some recent S&W...
