I made a correction in my post above. I intended to say that the HAMMER had been changed out, not the trigger. The trigger on your gun is of the original service style; that is to say .265" in width, with grooves (or serrations). The hammer on your gun is like the one on the Model 64 M&P...

I checked the Jack First and Numrich websites but did not see a Model 27 rear sight pictured. You should call them anyway as not everything they have is depicted on their websites. Sometimes one can be found on eBay, but the Model 27 rear sight assembly is going to be scarce, and you'll...

I notice the OP's Model 67 has a service hammer, not the semi-target hammer commonly found on these guns. Probably changed out during the overhaul. Nice gun!

That rear sight at Midway is for a much later version of the Model 27, as evidence by the rounded edge on the front of the tang. Check with "Jack First", a vintage gun parts supplier. He may have what you are looking for, but expect to pay a lot more than the one at Midway. Edited to add...

Never seen so much thread drift. The title of this thread should be changed to Birds, Eggs, and Ditches...

Love my Model 30s, all the dash-1 variety. A blue 2" round butt, a nickel 3" round butt, and a blue 4" square butt (a 31-1, of course).

It is easy to be tempted by a brand new gun but, believe me, you will never regret buying an older Model 17. I have a Model 17-3 that my brother bought new back in the 70s and in a side by side comparison with the new Model 17, well, there is no comparison.

That is a designed and commissioned Lew Horton revolver. Whether it was actually distributed by Lew Horton can only be determined by contacting Susan Lorosso at [email protected], since Lew Horton closed their doors a few years ago.

The widest target trigger was grooved and .500" wide, the target hammer was serrated and also .500" wide. Sometime in the 70s, the target trigger was narrowed down from .500" to .400" width. Both versions were grooved. Optional combat triggers were initially .400" wide, but I have heard there...

My FFL dealer works out of his house. He charges $10 for a transfer. He provides great service to me so I always give him $20 and box of factory .45acp JHP ammo. He loves to see me coming!

We can agree to disagree on that. I won't say you are wrong, but many of us believe as I do, that it makes no difference who distributed a particular gun. I give huge kudos to Lew Horton for coming up with great ideas for guns.

It does get confusing when the factory sells guns of the exact same configuration as those ordered and sold by Lew Horton. It is important to note that the guns are EXACTLY the same, whether or not they were distributed by Lew Horton. Some would say a Lew Horton gun somehow is more valuable...

Not a Lew Horton.

Rusty: I'll take it. PM in bound.

It has always been against the law to steal. The problem is, the laws are not being enforced...

No problem here. I never see ads on this site.

Walnut, generally, is less desirable that either Goncalo Alves or Rosewood. Rosewood seems to command the higher price among these woods. I estimate $125 for a set of Walnut target stocks, maybe slightly more for pristine condition. And the "football" recess (versus the speedloader routing)...

Those are factory smooth target stocks, in my opinion. Can't be sure of the wood on looks alone. I have some rosewood factory j-frame bananas that are quite a bit lighter than that set.

I like a big ride and V-8 power. If I were in the market for a new car, it would be GMC Yukon or Suburban. The price of gas is not a consideration for me. My daily driver is a 2010 Mercury Grand Marquis. I love having a bench front seat and no console. My truck is a 2018 F-250 XLT 4X4 Super...

I prefer the Ivory!
