    Pawn Shop Find - .32 DA 3d Model 1883 .32 S&W

    Thanks!! Thanks Dosgatos and epoefc. I must admit this gun piqued my curiosity. It's much older than any other Smith I own. But it's not what I collect. And I appreciate your advice and suspect that you are both exactly right. It will stay in the pawn shop. Steve

    Pawn Shop Find - .32 DA 3d Model 1883 .32 S&W

    Gun show......score.

    +++ on finding one like that. A 19 of some sort may be in my future this year. That is after the gun budget, now destroyed, recovers a bit. Yours is beautiful. Enjoy!

    My New To Me 66-1 2 1/2"er Updated

    Nice gun. Others with more expertise will be along, but as to the stocks, it would be easier to tell if they are targets if we saw the left side. Congrats Steve

    New To Me 686-5

    Not my newest gun, but just yesterday I learned how to do pictures!! Thanks to all who helped me with that. So now I'm catching up. 686-5 Snubbie dressed up in Combat Grips. SN CCT 89xx. It is pre-lock of course, and I think dates to the late 1980's or early '90's. Steve

    Very nice - I have a 30-2 snubbie that I even carry when I'm dressed in such a way that it is hard to hide something bigger. Would love to post pix but I'm "picture challenged". Need to work on that! Enjoy that nice gun! Steve
