Thank you. No, I don’t know who produced this. I wish I knew. I don’t believe the furniture really “goes” with a non Trap model, but I acquired it for very little, so… who cares? :cool: I like it, even if it’s not all correct or original. I agree, the M12 is good collector piece -especially...

I don't typically post here, because I acquire firearms somewhat frequently (3 already this year). However, I want to share this time because I really love the maple figuring on this recent acquisition, a (rather ordinary) 1959 vintage Winchester Model 12. What do y'all think? -Bill...

Leave as is! You’ve got a nice one, there. Enjoy shooting .45 Colt and call it a “win.” -Bill

Pencil Barrel Needed Stabilization, Also Needed More Secure Rings Nothing “Tacti-Cool” to see, here… Just cool! Heh heh heh. :cool: -Bill Accu-strut Recently Added Also, Warne QD Rings for Vintage Redfield 4X Frontier Scope

Great Score! Call me “Green with Envy.” :D Congratulations!… I don’t know you but, I am happy for you. As others have pointed out, you have a very desirable 1st Model Hand Ejector, aka “Triple Lock.” And, welcome to the forum. :) -Bill

I’ve posted this one, before. But, since you asked… -Bill NYSP Highway Patrolman, Marked on Frame Above Trigger

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I am always on the lookout for non-ILS S&W revolvers, usually N-frames. This is my first L-frame, ILS or otherwise. For $646.65 plus tax, I am happy. :D -Bill EDITED: I contacted S&W CS about the short screw in the rear sight base. (The cause of the leading...

Very nice group! Thanks for posting. -Bill

The “asking” price is actually $899… ‘Never happening! We settled on 7 bills, out the door. -Bill

Always something to learn, here! -Bill

Well, I was wrong... The shop owner doesn't come in 'til tomorrow. So, I'll have to see if he will deal, then. I did manage to take a couple more pictures, though. -Bill Slim Target Stocks Feature Nice Figuring "Bookends" Overall Excellent Condition Shipped Between 2012 and 2024

I was able to try out the trigger. Both DA and SA were excellent. The only ILS revolver I’ve had was the .460 S&W X-Frame. (I still have a key but, hope to never need it!) -Bill

Thanks for the clear picture. I could be mistakenly identifying a mark that I think is there. I’ll have to look more closely tomorrow to see whether it was “short-screwed” or not. -Bill

It’s in a local shop, used but not very much. Includes the blue plastic case, literature, and red plastic ring. I’ve read (here, in an older thread) that the short screw in the rear sight base near the cylinder gap allows gas turbulence to mark the cylinder. You can just make that out in the...

As others have already said, “Buy the CZ!” The CZ 75 family of pistols is exceedingly good… I have just 4 now, but have had others. (Therefore, I no longer keep a Hi Power in the stable… these scratch the itch for me!) -Bill Tactical Sport Orange w/ Lowest Known “B” below… from ‘93...

Have you gotten a corrected letter? As rare as that gun is, it's a must. Beautiful revolver! I love the N-frames and, having large hands, find them most comfortable to grip. Please post the updated letter with more pictures. -Bill Here's another barrel comparison picture of a couple of...

I agree with the vast majority here that it's best not to ask, so I don't, ever. That's not to say I haven't privately observed that member X clearly owns more than I do. 'Nothing wrong with being curious, (and maybe a little green with envy) but, so what? I believe it's not about "the...

I can't ever figure out how to "like" enough on these threads... Moderators, please fix that! Seriously, beautiful guns all! I have yet to come across an OD or .38/44 HD. But, one day. ;) -Bill

Congratulations, Trey. I'd be happy to own that one, and the money will come back if you should decide to sell in the future. Beautiful (re)finish, beautiful gun! -Bill

And have the author, Jim Hoobler, sign it! :D He’s a wealth of knowledge, too, if you give him a phone call. Very interesting gentleman and a “been-there, owned-that” collector. -Bill
