    Opinion: Am I asking too much?

    A 3 1/2" M27-2 is the next purchase I'm planning, although I prefer blue to nickle. I want as perfect as I can afford, and the box, papers, unopened cleaning kit all have value ot me. The fact this one isn't 100% and never fired also means it's good enough at 96+% to appreciate but not too...

    One of the ''less expensive'' model 60s'.

    That is a great little gun. Was that the Orlando Fairgrounds show a few weeks back? Where are you specifically?

    Model 64-1 at the gun show last weekend. It was still there. Here are pics.

    Well I wish I could find a M64 2" at all, much less in the $400's!!

    Model 15-4 2" Trip to the Range

    I'm wanting one of these really bad and will buy the first one that passes my way, especially if it had box and papers!! It was pointed out by SWCA guys that my memory of a M15 2" in the Air Force was really a M56, a specially made version for the Air Force. They are very rare as most were...

    S&W M625-3 3"

    They are amazingly fun to shoot guns...you'll love it. I had one for a long time and foolishly traded it. I wish I could find another mint condition one, I'd scarf it up in a heartbeat.

    Model 15 - For the USAF SPs

    It's been pointed out that the 2" K frame I remember being issued as a C-130 pilot in the 1987-1992 timeframe may have been an M56 rather than an M15. Perhaps so, I can't recall for certain. I did read in Supica's book that the M56 guns were made in 1962-1963 for USAF. The ones I drew from...

    Model 15 - For the USAF SPs

    I have been looking for a M-15 2" like I was issued as aircrew up through Desert Storm. Would love to find one, especially stamped USAF, but realize probabilities are low. I did just find a pristine M10-7 2" at the Orlando gun show but alas no M-15 2" guns found.

    M 10-7 2" RB

    Well I've wanted one of these for a long time and finally got to attend the Orlando gun show this weekend. I found 3 M 10 2" RB guns, 2 blue and 1 nickel. I also saw one blue square butt but I don't like those. Anyway, I struck a deal on a pristine blued one with pinned barrel, wide front...

    My newly acquired S&W 15-3 w/ 2" barrel

    When I got to my first assignment in 1987 the aircrew issue gun for concealment was the S&W M15 2" square butt, just like yours. That's what I drew from the armory to fly in the Panama invasion in 1989 and again for Desert Shield in 1990 and then Desert Storm in 1991. The USAF didn't go to the...

    S&W 27-2 3.5"

    My 2 cents, guns were made for shooting and the M27 3 1/2" is the finest combination of size, balance, caliber, fit and finish of any revolver S&W ever made...bar none. To have one and not shoot it is, well, why have it then. Since you said it has a faint turn line on the cylinder it is not...

    Hi, I'm ColJeff and I'm an adict

    I first joined S&W Forum almost a decade ago as SpectrePilot. For some reason my account became unusable and I have re-established myself. I still use SpectrePilot on other forums but since I've promoted myself out of active flying jobs this is OK. Regardless I love handguns of all...

    An older fellow I know is parting out his collection!

    The S&W 586 is $100 high, the S&W 28 is $50 high. The Rugers are all well priced. Skip both of the Taurus guns. The Colt Huntsman is a steal and the .22 New Frontier isn't priced, but I wouldn't have a reference. All told $5000 would be well spent and certainly worthwhile, but then you're...

    How about a N frame snubby picture thread?

    Being a rabid S&W short barrel fan this is extrememly interesting. Since I'm now stationed in Germany and can't have access to my gund, it's even more, well, emotional I guess. The fixed sight 29 is what the Thunder Ranch series "should have been". Wow. The John Jovino guns are also...
