    Smith 27 and stag grips

    Tom, If you don't know you're 25 is my favorite revolver of all time on this forum. Love the mods you made to it, especially the grip release front sight. I need a nickel version to match my 3.5" 27-2.

    Smith 27 and stag grips

    Cannot believe I sold my nickel 58 back in 85 for a measley $200.00! Bought a blued replacement but I tear up when I see a model like the pristine one I HAD. Beautiful 58's on this 27 post! Two classic revolvers. If given a choice I'd have to keep my 58 over my blued 27-2 3.5". Have lots of...

    My Babies...how about yours?

    Nice collection and variety. Packed a Springer 1911 for 18 trouble free years. Now pack a Commander and wish I would have bought one years ago as it's reliable and a tack driver. Love my S&W's more. Just shoot an old .45 better from carrying and shooting them for 35 years. I still pack one of my...

    Picked Up a 19-5 2 1/2" Nickel Yesterday at OGCA

    Great revolver and pics. Looks fantastic and you don't need no stinking box with a beauty like that! Hated nickel guns when I was younger but love em now. Finish holds up much better than blue and classier than a stainless unless you polish one up. I have your -3 and going to hang onto it. Just...

    LGS 19-5 2.5" Nickel

    That IMO is a great price. You're getting one of the best revolvers ever to have left the factory. Makes an outstanding SD or hiking weapon as they can be extremely accurate. I paid $500.00 for mine a few years back with the box and all and wouldn't take $800.00 for it now. I packed it for a few...

    57 pics - finally

    Congrats on your first .41 mag! As Hammerdown said it will do everything a .44 mag will do with the right load. Have many a deer to prove it. I like loading up 210 gr. Speer Gold Dots for deer hunting these days and a 210 gr. LSWC over 7.0 grains of Unique makes for a great practice round. More...

    27-2 3.5" late "S" SN with pics

    You would have a hard time finding one in that condition, but you did. Beautiful 27 and in my favorite barrel length. Makes .38's feel like .22's. Congrats. They don't come any classier than that!

    May open their eyes and bring them back to producing a quality handgun that doesn't need the Lifetime waranty! JMO

    Just scored a 625-4 for a great price with *PICS*

    Been lurking for one of these for 2 years. What a great price for an outstanding revolver. Love the .45 ACP round as I carry a Colt Commander and that old cartridge is still in the the top manstoppers going to this day. Congrats on that beauty. Hope one day my time will come and I'm as...

    s&w had there LAST chance with me!

    I too am sorry for you and the many others buying and paying big bucks for a poorly built product. This crooked barrel issue has come up many times of late. Ask a good Gunsmith their opinion on a clocked barrel and they'll tell you it's WRONG! ALL of my S&W are older models and not one of them...

    TRADE PENDING: Model 17-3 for a Browning Hi Power (NC)

    Would like to trade my 17-3 that's in excellent condition for a Browning Hi Power in 9mm. I need a model with the larger sights and extended safety. Blue is fine and I am after the Practical or MKIII as that's the design I'm looking for. Sure there are other models out there with the same sights...

    First post - my 28-2

    A hearty welcome to the forum. A wealth of info, great members and some beautiful S&W's here! I've learned alot and have spent some serious money buying them since I joined in 05. They are as addicting a crack, but a much better investment:)! That 28 looks great in nickel! Who did the plating...

    Lew Horton grips price check......

    Way to much IMO. Some folks love them, but I think they were made for the "Cool Factor" as they hurt and will sometimes bloody the web of my hand when shooting hot .41 mags. The rounded models don't come close to fitting my hand and are terrible for shooting anything above a .357 mag. I sanded a...

    Model 58 nickel ANIB 1977 vintage ?

    Excellent decision sir! Here's my baby and it's staying. The magnas are in fantastic condition so slapped a set of full coverage Pacs on them to save wear on the magnas and get a better grip for them Gold Dots. It hits to POI with almost every load I shoot through it and will do a good 3-4"...

    "splain" it to me Model 66 3"

    Mine, a -2 would be the last handgun I'd ever let go. Perfectly balanced, accurate, easy to carry, ejects empties with authority and fairly rare. It is supply and demand. IMO it's one of the best, all purpose revolver models ever to leave the factory. Darn shame someone swiped the officers...

    Snap Caps

    Surely is and I use them all the time for practice. One of the best training tools available for trigger control and sight alignment. Fire away knowing you're not damaging the revolver. I use them for all of the calibers I shoot and never have had a problem with the firing pins. Before a match...

    Model 58 nickel ANIB 1977 vintage ?

    I personally would go for the 58. Rare revolver that packs a punch or load it down for plinking. I am biased as the .41 mag is my favorite round and I own a 58. Had a nickel model like the one your talking about and sold it CHEAP back in 85. Got another one last year in 95% condition and it's...
