Some states [like mine, Tennessee] allow sale Face-To-Face sales among state residents to be made with no documentation requried, other than determining that the buyer is 21 years old and his declaration that he is not a felon. Even in spite of this, I try to do all my purchases and sales...

I don't think so, but the Nickel slide would be much more difficult to obtain than a blued one. Probably a replacement. The little gun was only manufactured for three years. PM me if it is for sale.

They are capable if YOU are. They are intended to be a personal defense CCW or back-up to a larger CCW. They are for close quarter (7-10 yard) shooting. They have a heavy trigger pull, a small grip, significant recoil (due to their light weight) and are not really a lot of fun to shoot at the...

TSmith49 is correct. The anodizing process is very much like the finish on commercial aluminum window frames and doors, varying with thickness, color, and sealing process. In my opinion, the anodized frames of older Airweight J-frames is preferrable to the current finish on Smith & Wesson's...

I have purchased guns from Bud's several times. Prices are very good and shipping service is great! If you have doubts about the lock, just call and order the gun over the telephone. They will confirm the lock situation and answer any other questions you have.

I'll take the K-square, Bill Jordan hard plastic [#6] PM sent.

I watched both GunBroker and GunsAmerica daily for almost 2 years to buy a Model 18 in pristine condition under $750. During my search, I saw many as you describe, but all were usually over $500. Below $500 they were usually shooters with significant finish and grip damage. The gun is very...

WTB Slide for Firestar M.45 Commander size pistol.

642 or 640 ? I have several 642's and none have a finish like this gun. How do you think they got an alloy frame with such a high polish? I would certainly prefer this finish to mine.

Also, beware of buying from a single photograph. The other side may be in terrible condition and the poor quality of a single photo can mask a host of problems.

For 9303 - Absolutely classic Smith & Wesson, beautiful!

Both of my Airweights have an electrolytic black anodized finish on the aluminum frame and an electro-chemical black oxide blueing on the cylinder and barrel. That's the sum total of what I know about these finishes, although I much prefer them to the current 637 S&W finishes. They are more...

Probably the wrong forum, but I am trying to interest my wife in practicing with a snub-nose. She owns a 642, but doesn't really like either the finish OR the recoil (although she can shoot it reasonably well). She's being doing her own research and asks the following questions that I cannot...

I am no expert, but I think I can tell you the value of your revolver. If it is as you suggest, in "mint" condition, it is likely worth several hundred dollars. If it is not, it may be worth only a few hundred dollars. If it was your grandfather's and he has passed away...it is priceless.

If someone has pictures to email, but does not post them, seems to defeat some of the purpose. Certainly, this post of "guns that have to go quick" is apparently not going so quickly. Without pictures, why would anyone be surprised?

In order to make any progress you must have some frame of reference. The frame of reference cannot be you! A) Try shooting another gun you know to be accurate and see if you can obtain the desired results. If you do - it is likely the gun. B) Let someone you know to be an excellent shot...

I am trying to help a friend identify a handgun inherited from his father. I told him I am no expert, but many on this forum are. It is a full size, 4" barrel, revolver with Serial Number 198XXX. Printed on one side of the barrel is 38 S&W Special Ctg. On the other side of the barrel are the...

I have a pair of Combat Masterpieces [Model 15 in .38 sp and Model 18 in .22 lr.], but I don't have the memories yours has - although mine are in "like new" condition...they are worth less than yours! Rflect on your present blessings of which every person has many, not on past misfortunes, of...

What's this gun called? Call it sold! - if it is for sale.
