I've added a few more pics to this post and thank all of you who've made comments or sent me a pm on this odd ball of a 29-1. Today is the 20th anniversary of my becoming a S&W forum member so I wanted to make a posting for no other reason, really, than I'm just glad to still be here 20 years...

Hi, I'm looking to buy 4 pre-29 revolvers with the following serial numbers. S153866, S156260, S160728, S161569. These revolvers were shipped 12/14/1956 to JS Oshman's in Houston, TX. This was my 6th birthday. I'll buy any of these guns in any condition as long as the serial numbers and assembly...

Trying to find new photo hosting service that is close to the now defunct fototime which recently destroyed literally thousands of my gun photos going back 20 years. Thank goodness I have most of them backed up. What a PITA. Chuck This is Google Photos, which doesn't offer a direct link to the...

Thought you ammo folks might be interested in what the FBI issues agents for training/service 9mm ammo right now. Enjoy, Chuck

Ed, in my plans to give a happy birthday shout-out to S299258, one of 2 Model 29-2 frames S&W shipped to AAI 51 years ago today, May 23, 1969, I came across your summation of the Tunnel/QSPR story that was written a year before one actually turned up on Gun Broker disguised as a 29-2! I suppose...

S&W manufactured only 20 44 magnums in February, 1956. S130741 pictured here is one of those few revolvers, having been produced on 2/29/56 in a leap year just like the one we are in now. Most, if not all the early .44 Magnums went to S&W's biggest distributors such as Jesse Harpe in Tampa, FL...

Here's an FBI shipped 1076 that after over 10 years of searching diligently, I was able to find one of the elusive 11 round mags right here on the forum from one of our great members. So here she is with all 3 length issued mags and the Safariland holster that agents were issued with this...

Free to a good home. If anyone on the forum owns a 29-2, S 282295 I have the original paper box which is kind of unusual for a Model 29. This is the first of this model that I've ever run across that may have came from the factory in a box other than the mahogany presentation case. I also got to...

For Sale, S229345, a 29-1 about 97%, mostly collector handling marks only. It has been fired. It comes with the correct clamshell case, tools - long fluted SAT, brush, swab and rod. I'm thinning the herd so this one needs to find a new good home. I enjoy putting guns I send on to new homes on...

Today while rummaging through the safe in my quest to thin the herd, I came across S130833, a really nice Model of 1955 .45 Target revolver with the scarce U shaped main spring. . While taking pictures of it to post, I noticed the right grip panel is stamped S130741. Those of you who collect the...

Why the FBI transitioned to the 10MM 1076 Auto in ~ 1990 is attributed to several reasons; the 1986 Miami shootout being principal with Ben Grogan and Jerry Dove, the SAs killed in that incident being, by many accounts, "outgunned" and under equipped with this revolver. I have 3 Model 13s; (2)...

FS a Nov,1950 nickel Terrier shipped to the NYPD. I know this gun has a LEO connection because I got it about 15 years ago from a retired NYPD Detective who'd brought it into my LGS in NY to sell. I just happened to be there when he brought it in. Smooth trigger and Melvin Tyler grip adaptor...

sbowenjr's excellent post on 4 inch Model 29 variations in another forum motivated me to show off the one known 29-1 4 inch 44 Magnum. Here is S227230, a 4 inch 29-1 blue 3 screw gun that shipped on May 25th, 1962 to E.K. Tryon in Philadelphia. When I got the gun 12 years ago it came from a...
