So after working with and doing development on the .32 H&R, there was no question about which caliber I was going to get. The recoil characteristics were just night and day different. I carry 148 grain full wadcutters in my .38 Special 442 and have for years. They make the gun quite manageable...

Friends! It has arrived! After carrying my ever present and faithful companion, S&W 442 for almost 25 years, I picked up a new J Frame. The 442 is not going anywhere, and is still going to get carried and shot, but it has a new, easier to shoot younger brother. My 442 definitely has...

Friends, Lipsey's did an event for gun writers a couple weeks ago. They fired a BUNCH of rounds. I sent down 900 rounds of 100 grain Poly Coated .32 H&R wadcutters. (For those who may not know, I own Lost River Ammunition Company). The ones of the right: Jason (the VP) from Lipsey's...

Because we all like pics, and I need to bump this up. Running a 4" 629 with full power loads, doing speed drills/bear drills at a friends place: El President'e with full power loads can be a challenge, but if you want to be actually capable when Yogi comes, you need to shoot fast and...

Not an S&W, but how about some pics of a gun that has been shot so much you can see metal erosion on the breech face. This is an early gen Kimber 1911 than I bought brand new in the 90s and used as a USPSA gun. Was shot heavily. Also used as a duty gun. Used when I worked executive protection...

I too have a 4" Model 63. Original "no dash". Nice little lightweight gun. That said, lately I have been really enjoying playing with a snubby of another brand. The gun is chambered in .327, but I have been shooting .32 H&R Magnum wadcutters in it. Nice low recoil 100 grain wadcutters that run...

Nothing would "Make your Day" or Christmas like a 1970s era Model 29 under the tree! I have one that I have used for years, hunting all manner of game, large and small, carrying it in Grizzly country and taking it on Jackrabbit Safaris after big game season closes, and it is truly a phenomenal...

Model 4506 is SPF Model 24 is SPF Model 29-2 is SPF :)

Bump to top.

The 4506 is SOLD PENDING FUNDS Here is one you just won't see much anymore, if ever. It is a new in the box, S&W 4506-1 .45 ACP. It comes, as I received it, with one 8 round factory magazine. I picked this up years ago from a young guy who said his uncle was LAPD and he inherited a...

Friends, Up for sale is this Model 24-3 .44 Special aka 1950 Model .44 Target. It is New in Box, complete with paperwork. Exceptional bluing from when they really did amazing work. Price is $1400 plus $50 for shipping and insurance. SOLD PENDING FUNDS LOTS of pics of drool worthy bluing...

I developed a .44 Special load using a hardcast 240 grain SWC that does right at 900 FPS from a 5" barrel. I spent a good bit of time during development working, in search of a very accurate load right around that velocity range. Just as an FYI, if anyone is not familiar, I have a small custom...

As much as I love mine, I just recently wrapped up a divorce and now have to pay some big bills, including the worthless attorney. The punchline is that I am going to have to let my Model 24 go. I had intended on keeping it for many years to come, but sadly life does not work out the way we...

He gave me a good rundown on the 4563 CQB and their very limited numbers. Great guy and we shared an affinity for the same Gen 3s.

Ahh I was just thinking about this. The late 18DAI was helping me out a few years back. I had picked up another 4506 (and one that I shoot and LOVE!). I didn't know hardly anything about it, and presumed that since it was simply marked 4506 that it was an early sample. Ends up it was from the...

The gun itself is marked 4506-1 Shown here: It is definitely a nice example. And THANK YOU for the info.

Friends, What would be the current market value of a NIB 24-3 with a 6.5" barrel?

Friends, I have 4506-1 that shows a special order code on the box label. Would anybody know what the code means or represents? I picked the gun up from a young man who inherited it from an uncle who was LAPD. He said he received 2 4506 pistols. He kept one and was selling the one I picked...

SOLD I really don't want to part with it, but circumstances are that I have to, so it is going to have to go to a good home. Knowing how these have gone up is price, and down in availability more and more, in recent years just makes it worse, but that is just the way it is. I have not seen...

That would make for a very hard to beat general purpose utility gun for camping, travel, whatever. Also a good one to potentially put in an emergency kit along with 2-3 boxes of ammo for emergencies.
