Could it be a magazine for a M-52 - if it holds 5 rounds of .38 Spl. Wadcutter that would be a clue. Riposte

I haven't seen it but I've read about it - apparently James Arness (Aurness) was quite the cut up :D I am constantly watching Gunsmoke over a little at a time - by the time I finish all 20 seaons I'm ready to start over. I also have all the Laman Series, and Have gun will travel on DVD -...

Funny, I bought my first M-29 used in 1976, back home they were indeed running $750 to $800 for any one longer than 4" and I didn't want to put that in it. I was visiting a cousin in Morristown TN and we dropped by a little shop in another small town and he had one in the wood case for $350 so...

Here is one of my three Arvo rigs, with a Colt 2nd gen 7.5" I have one for a 5.5" in brown and another that was a "walk and draw" though Andy Anderson actually started that style of forward rake. Arvo sure was a cook dude - I was facinated by his twirling a Walker Colt! Then again Rod...

Mine was a brand new K-38 I bought right after my 21st birthday (I had other handguns I had bought back before the GCA-68 went into effect) but IIRC this was my first new center-fire. It taught me, on the second cylinder full of factory ammo that revolvers were not as reliable as 1911s! Of...

I have a similar gun, 3.5" barrel in the S75XXX range - it dates to 1950, mine is pretty worn, but shoots good. Riposte

If you listen even closer you can hear Paladin saying : "He was fast...not accurate" :D (he acutlly did say that!). Riposte

I have somehow managed to avoid 2" M-10s (not a good thing I assure you) but I do have a 2" M-12-3 - I don't shoot it a lot but I did manage to find it is pretty accurate. I also have two or three M-15 2" guns. And I did manage to snag a 10-5 tapered barrel 3" - I don't see a whole lot of...

True - one can never have too many S&W K-frame .38s - I used to give them out like the Dr. gives Tootsie-roll pops... well maybe not ;) Riposte

You are quite correct - it is Brazil - a mind is a terrible thing to loose :unsure: Riposte

It is likely just me, but I thought S&W really messed up the lines of the J, K and L frames with the lock and was hoping they would go back to the old classic K-frame look when they dropped that egregious device. Then again, I hear the barrels are screwed in so tight you cant take them out and...

There are some variaions in the center pin (the part that runs down the milld of the ejector. I bought a 4" tapered barrel off eBay ( which variation wasn't availble) to convert the Son's 2" 10-5 to 4" and none of the old center pins I had in the parts drawer would work (I also had an ejector)...

Old 3" Pythons are pretty rare - I recall an article by one of the guys at Rock Island Auctions back when Pythons went through the roof - he said in the bast year the average price for a 4 or 6" python sold through the aucton was $4000, the average price of a used 3" Python was $12,000! Of...

I recall when G. G. Liddy had a radio show he said his first FBI gun was a 5" .357 (he did not call it by any model #). I had an uncle who was a cop in Bourder CO, he carried a 5" N-frame but I don't know if it was a Pre-27 or what - he was killed by a drunk driver in 1963 and I was only 12 - I...

Here is one of my 1917s, it was pretty worn so I had it bead blasted and blued - cut it back myself and soldered a micro front sight and base to the barrel and widened the rear sight. It was a 1937 Argentine contract gun. I made the stocks out of an elk anter I picked up in CO. Riposte

There was actually some praticality to the Smolt - the Colt rifling was slightly faster than the typical S&W and was allegedly an improvement on the typical S&W - of course the commercial bull barrels people put in PPC guns could be had in any twist one wished. Riposte

I bought one and gave it to the son for Christmas some years back - it is a nickel M-19 with a 6" python barrel. Need to take a pic. Ours was built by Bill Davis in CA. Not sure of the date? Riposte

I have a box of BB .357 loaded with a 158 XTP - it is listed, IIRC, as 1425 in a 4" - shot some in my 5" S&W M-27-2 and it got 1589! I'd sort of like to find some of that 180 gr. load! Riposte

I had CT on my 640 for over 10 years but I finally gave up on them as they slowed me down to half speed and were no more accurate. I'll admit, they may have has some utility in low light but they also come with a draw-back - they locate you for the attacker! for 10 years I ran an indoor live...

I carry a "six loop" belt slide or a 2X2X2 Buckheimer slide, and a spare Bianchi "slow strip" for my J and K frames. Sometimes I might throw in a speed loader if I'm wearing cargo pants. None of those are for reloading during a fight - they are all for reloading after the fight. That said, if...
