Thanks everyone. I will put it up for sale then sometime here.

I have a Model 19-3 4” blued and pinned revolver with a target trigger and hammer and a matt blued finish. I have smaller hands and don’t care for the larger target trigger and hammer or finish. I would like to replace them with a standard smooth combat trigger and standard hammer and reblue it...

I thought you all would appreciate seeing this rare left hand model on a brochure I picked up in Rapid City SD. Photoshopped? Funny though.

Nice leather. I was looking for a nicer holster for my Model 24. I have a Bianchi Cyclone with Suede Lining and am questioning if it could be too rough of finish for my guns.

Smith & Wesson model 24-3 .44 special revolver. Blued, 4” barrel with target grips and combat trigger. This very desirable revolver retains most of the original blue with a turn ring having been shot. Grips have good original finish with some blemishes on the edges. Comes with original box...

That was it. Tightened it to the left and it’s working great. Thanks so much. What a great site. Jeff

My used Model 24 has a cylinder release issue that has developed. When you push the cylinder release button it stays locked up and won’t open. I tried greasing the gear on the face of the cylinder and dry firing it but there’s no improvement. I live in central Wisconsin so does anyone know of a...

Thanks for the great insight. You are probably right. I will shoot it and give it some thought.

Here’s my new 24-3 with the Magnas Installed I received my 24-3 on Friday and my Magnas for it yesterday. So I have just about the way I want it. I would like to replace the front sight ramp with a solid blued ramp with no inserts. But I don’t see a pin for it like others have. Any thoughts on...

Jeff Flannery Dave, My dad was a gun collector in Kentucky/Indiana and I remember seeing Jeff Flannery at the gun shows. He was a really nice guy to me as a kid going to the gun shows. I really liked your story as it brought back some great memories of me hunting elk in the nearby Middle Fork...

Hi everyone like a lot of people I’m looking for a set of N Frame walnut Diamond Pattern Magna Grips for my used shooter 24. Anybody got some for sale. Thanks Jeff Thanks to the goodwill of this board, I found my grips and bought a pair already this morning. Thanks for all that responded...

Here’s my new 24 Okay thanks to the boards help here is my used Model 24. What is the preference on original Magna versus reproduction Magna grips for our classic guns. Thanks for the advice if not bad influence. Jeff

I don’t know how to post the photos

I got one Thanks to the enthusiasm of this post I hunted and shopped and just bought my first Model 24-3 4” blued with walnut target grips used but in the box from GB. Now I want to get some diamond magna grips for it, replace the front orange insert site with a solid blued one and a thumb snap...

There is a never fired still in grease and box Model 24-3 blued with 4” barrel on Gun Broker at $1500 to $1600. Is this a fair price. Is it a shame to buy this and shoot it? It’s more than I want to spend but just questioning it. If anybody is interested in it go ahead and get it. Thanks Jeff

In regard to the shortage of Model 24’s compared to Model 29’s does any body know a smith that can replace the barrel and cylinder on a 29 with a tappered Model 24 .44 special barrel and .44 cylinder and how much that would cost. Is this a mistake in changing a 29 like this. Thanks Jeff

You folks are a bad influence. I was already to purchase a mint Model 29-2 4” blued for a fair price to shoot .44 specials in as I don’t care about shooting .44 mags. And then I come across this post and you have drawn me to the tappered barrels of a Model 24. So I have posted an ad in the...

I found what I was looking for. How do I delete this post.

Hi everyone, I want to thank everyone for their input. I am going to buy a Model 29-2 4” blued and shoot specials in it mostly. As an engineer I love the parameters of the decision. That said I was at a friends this week who had several of these guns that we weighed. Here were the results...

So I have another question. Do the 4” barreled model 24’s come with tapered barrels and tappered cylinders and are lighter like the mountain guns compared to the Model 29’s.
