I could never compete with Wiregrass Guy who has a whole album on them... but every time I cross paths with one of these it ends up in either my or my son's shopping cart. So, now I have a fearsome foursome

Hey, Randy! Thanks for the shout out. But, I'm really a piker compared to some members here. I only have a couple of M&P snubs left. Admittedly, others have passed through my remuda. But, from one aficionado to another: Nice Start!

Nickel 1949 M&P with a 1948 S serial M&P.

This one was produced in 1922. I haven't lettered it yet, but we know that S&W did not have the barrel blanks to make this snub yet. By all estimates, it got a genuine S&W barrel later in it's life.

The Mother of Pearl stocks came from a gent in the Association of Retired TX Rangers and the holster is S.D. Myres.

The gun came with numbers matching gold medallion magnas.
