Ran across a 1086 in 10mm at a local gun store and as I'm looking at it I notice the price. $1850! Holy moly! Is this gun really worth that kind of money? The gun store guy said it was a scarce model, which is why it was listed that high. He must have saw my face. lol Thoughts?

So from my other post, and advice from fellow forum members, I've decided to pass on the S&W Bicycle Hammerless pistol and instead am concentrating on a Smith & Wesson Six Screw .38 Military & Police Airweight Pre-Model 12. It's all original and comes with a letter from S&W stating the fact...

I'm currently looking at a Smith & Wesson .38 Safety Hammerless Fifth Model "Bicycle" Revolver that has a supposedly "rare" 2 inch barrel. It's a thing of beauty and something I've not seen before. I'm really wanting to add this to my S&W collection, but I know absolutely nothing about this...

So I’m looking at what looks to me like two identical vintage model 60 revolvers in 38 spl. I say they look identical but one is listed as a 1 7/8th inch barrel and the other is listed as a 2 inch barrel. I always assumed these had the 1 7/8th inch barrels and mentioned that at the gun store...

So I need some help from the experts here. Yesterday I ran across this Schofield at a local gun store. I handled it and it’s in great shape for its age. I passed on it yesterday but the more I think about the more I want it, even though it’s not cheap. I have found that HSM and Black Hills...

I'm currently looking at a 5906 PPC and it has some differences then an everyday 5906. My understanding on these is that were made for the overseas market only, so to see one in the States makes it more interesting. Anything in particular people know about this version of the 5906 I should be...

So I’m currently looking at a S&W 52-2 semi auto in 38 Spl. I’ve never seen one of these before and I’m seriously thinking of getting it. Is there anything I should be aware of with this particular handgun.

I’m looking at two identical 1942 S&W Military and Police revolvers in 38 S&W and I have the chance to get one of them. Out of the below two which do you think is the more collectible? They are: 1. Victory model from the UK with UK stamps including the British crown 2. US Navy model with US...

Just took possession today of a semi rare S&W 547 in 9mm. The gun came from overseas where it seen use by a foreign military. It's made it's way back to the US and luckily into my hands. The gun looks like **** from all the holster use it's seen, but overall functionality is excellent. Very...

Picked up a nice nickeled S&W M15-2 w/ a 2" barrel but she's sporting a pair of S&W combat grips. Want to return her to the original configuration and Ebay only has a bunch of beat up Magnas so I looked elsewhere. A couple of reseller had a few sets that were really nice, but they were $150...

I have a round butt S&W M19 and M66 with the original medallion grips that I'd like to keep on the guns. But I do like having a little more to grab onto with these guns when shooting them. I'm considering adding Grip Adapters to them but not sure which one would work best. I've heard that Tyler...

I've been offered a ThunderFive as part of a trade and it's something I have no experience with and wondering what people think of it. From what I've read it's the original 45LC/410 handgun before S&W and Taurus came out with their offering. Value seems to be equal to what I'm trading so...

I've moved forward with a 1951 S&W Pre 26 in 45acp and will be taking delivery shortly. Now that I have the gun I'm looking on the kind of moon clips I should be getting. The last time I tried to use a moon clip I bent the **** out of it. So what's the deal? Should I get half moon or full moon...

Hey everyone. I'm looking at a 1951 S&W Pre Model 26 that has been offered to me for sale. I know these are rare and I'm interested but wanted to make sure I'm not missing something when I'm looking at this revolver. The owner is saying it's in excellent condition and maybe I'm missing...

From a previous post I was asking what I should know about when it came to the M29. From that post I used a lot of the advice and went in search for my new to me gun. I luckily found this beautiful 1989 M29-5 Classic Hunter with an 8 3/8" barrel, full underlug, pristine forcing cone and...

So I'm on the hunt for a blued S&W M29 w/ a 6" or 6.5" bbl and I'm wondering if there is anything I should be aware of in the earlier models. Any version to stay away from or that are lacking options that came in later models? As with any hunt, looking is a big part of the fun. Especially in...

I hear battle sounds inside my safe when I close the door as the forces of good and evil battle it out for supremacy. I've ventured away from my beloved S&W only stance and have introduced the sinister and evil Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in 454 Casull into the stable. It quickly joined forces...

A very interesting Saturday was had this past weekend. Took the wife to get her hair done around Boston, so figured I'd take the 3 hours it takes to do and visit the local gun stores in the area. I've never been to them down there so figured it would be a good way to kill the afternoon. As...
