I was talking to an acquaintance yesterday and he said that Sig was getting out of the 1911 business. He said that they were discontinuing the 1911 line and wouldn’t be making any more 1911 style pistols. I find that hard to believe. Has anyone else heard this unverified rumor????

I recently saw a K38 Combat Masterpiece pre-model 15 at a local fun shop and started to wonder if that it be more desirable than a model 15-any, or if the model 15 would be more desirable? This is assuming that all other factors such as condition and accessories are the same. Also, which would...

OK, I went to Sam’s Club about a week ago and I bought an item that had a price listed, then it also had a “scan and save” price (I think that is what they called it). I didn’t really pay attention, I thought the item was just on sale. When I get to the cashier, the item rang up at the higher...

I went to the RIA web page and was amazed at the number of firearms that they had for sale via auction. I am looking for input as to your experience if you had purchased a firearm through them (good or bad), or if you hadn’t, why not. Thanks for any and all responses.

I just put a nice nickel plated model 59 on lay-a-way at a local shop. I want to pick up a couple of extra magazines for it and was wondering if there is compatibility of the model 59 magazines with any of the second or third generation pistols? If they require their own unique magazine, is...

Locally there are two different pistols available and they both have my interest. One is a 1977 15-3 nickel plated and the other is a new production but slightly used King Cobra with fixed sights. The price for the 15-3 is $550 and the King Cobra is $650. The fixed sights on the Cobra turn me...

I have looked on line and I can’t come up with a CURRENT value for a model 331Ti. Everything that I have found is at least 5 years old. The gun looks like 98% condition and comes with the box. Any ideas for a current value for this clean little 32 H&R Mag???

I just put a Model 43 with a 3 1/2 inch barrel on lay-a-way at a local gun shop. I figured I could find a ton of posts on here about the 43. Surprisingly, there wasn't much information about the 43. There are lots of posts on the 34, another fine little 22 cal., but not the 43. Does anyone...

I stopped at a pawn shop today and they had an old 38 M&P revolver in the case. I looked at it and it had quite a bit of blueing wear and condition was about 60%. The interesting thing that I noted was that under the crane was the number 7797 in a very ornate script however very small and...

I just laid-away a 4” blue model 19-4. I saw it at a local shop. It has just a little holster wear and the price was just over $700 after tax. I saw the gun and I really didn’t need it, but I thought it was a good deal and I just couldn’t let someone else buy it. Do other people think this...

I am currently out of town and do not have my Gunbroker password with me so I can’t look up completed auction prices. I saw a nickel plated 4” model 34-1 that is clean and probably 90-95% condition. I didn’t check to see if it has a box and papers, but assume that it doesn’t. What are these...

I have a 4" 15-3 and was wondering which box would be correct for this revolver. Is it a grey box with the blue lettering, the blue box with the silver letters or something else? Any and all replies are appreciated. Thanks!

I am stumbled upon a clean, blue, Model 15-3 with a 2 inch barrel and stag grips with the S&W logo. I know these models were primarily made with the 4" barrel and don't know if the grips are original to the revolver, so I was wondering how "unique" this gun might be. The asking price is $650...

Ruger has a new 9mm carbine. It has iron sights with a ghost ring rear, it takes down like their 10/22, and has a magazine well that can be changed out so you can use either Ruger SR9 style mags or Glock mags. I know I want one!!!

I just saw someone mention a model 681 which I know nothing about. I pulled out my Standard Catalog of S&W, looked up the 681 and it sounded just like the description for the 686. I am a bit confused (which really isn't that unusual). What am I missing, what is the difference between these...

I was reading the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson and it mentioned that there are some 5 inch versions of the model 63. I purchased one used a couple of years ago, but just assumed that they (the 5" models) were common. I see now that the 3" and 4" are the size you are most likely to find...

I have a used 617-1 on lay-a-way and it has a scope mounted on it. The gun does not come with the original rear sight. I would like to know what other S&W revolvers have the same rear sight, whether it is a 686, or a 64, or a 66, or whatever. I am hoping that it is not unique to that handgun...

What would be a fair price on a 617-1 with an 8 3/8" barrel? It has a 2X Leupold pistol scope, but no box, papers, or rear sight and it is a 6 shot pre-lock model with the S&W marked synthetic Hogue grips. I have a 6" 10-shot which I love, but am not sure about spending $800 on this one, and I...

I just placed an 8 shot model 63-4 on layaway. The gun has a 5 inch barrel and I understand that the 5 inch model was only made for a few years. The serial number is DCM74XX. My questions are, can anyone tell me what year the gun was made? Does anyone know how many of the 5 inch models were...

I found a clean nickel plated Terrier revolver at a local shop and placed it on lay-a-way. I got a good deal because the hammer spur was broken off. The gun was dropped in the shop and it broke off the end of the hammer spur. The shop filed the edge of the break so it wouldn't be as sharp but...
