I recently bought a N frame converted from a model 25 to 44 magnum and plan on shooting 44 specials through it. I read a lot about the 44 special guns and how much people love how they shoot. My question is will my gun being a 44 magnum shoot the 44 specials as good as a model 24 which was...

Finally got it home and made a few pictures. This is a model 25 that was converted to a 44 magnum with a 3 inch barrel, by an unknown gunsmith and as far as I can tell the smith did a nice job. Built in 1980 I think. The only issue I have found is the cylinder/barrel gap is only .003. Not...

Just bought this and got it home today. These are the first pictures that I have taken although I have posted a few of the sellers pictures on other threads. It is a model 25 that was converted to 44 Magnum with a 3" barrel. So my apologies to all that have seen enough pictures of this one...

My model 19 no dash 4 inch arrived today. It came with diamond target grips that look great and the the finish looks very good except for the end of the barrel which has some holster wear. Locks up nice and tight, and the trigger pull is very crisp. I have to clean it good tonight and as soon...

Is the 629-1 hard to find these days?

I hope everyone had at least as good of a Thanksgiving as I did. I went home to my Dad's farm. My two son's (both in college) joined me and the wife for the trip. One of my brothers, his wife and kids came up from Baton Rouge. I took my 586 and 29-2 and my Colt AR15, and Ruger P90. We shot...

OK. Get those big brains cranked up and solve this puzzle. Just got back from a local pawn shop. They had an old 5 screw, 4" bbl, 32 cal., service grips with diamonds, serial number 75440. No model info on the crane. (I know the older ones do not have model no.'s). But I don't know what it...

Can anyone help me with the date of manufacture of a S&W model 10 with a serial number of C5518xx? Also if it is a shooter in "Good" shape, what is the aproximate value? Thanks

I saw where a pre 27 5 screw with a 3 1/2 in barrel sold on GB for $1630. A really nice looking old smith. Looked like new. But $1630???? Ouch Surely it is one of our friends on this forum.

I recently purchased a pre-28 Highway Patrolman. After I got it home and in different light, I started noticing that there seemed to be a difference in the blueing color between the frame and the barrel. The more I looked the more pronounced it seemed to be. Sometimes, depending on the light I...

I went to look at what I thought was a Model 27 at lunch. Turned out to be a Highway Patrolman. It was in good shape for age. Not a safe queen. Here's my question. When I dropped the cylinder and looked for the serial number, it was not there. The guy said you would have to take off the...

I have a few rounds of 7mm Rem Mag ammo that I want to sell. I started wondering if there are laws that would prohibit me doing that legally. I am in AL and wanted to get opinions from you guys. It will be a local sell so there will be no shipping. Thanks

How much is a model 27, 4" barrel, As new, p/r, and serial number 88xxx. I found one for sale locally and was wondering. Thanks

I have a nice mid 80's model 586 that I love the double action trigger pull on. The pull is not too heavy and very smooth as it should be. I just bought an 1980 29-2 and the single action trigger pull is nice and crisp, but the double action trigger pull seems very heavy. I was wondering if...

I am going to put some comfortable rubber type grips on my Model 29.2 for comfort while shooting. I would like to get everyones opinion on the best grips for shooting. Hogue, Pachmeyr, etc. Thanks

After a long time of admiring the Model 29-2 and telling myself that I was going to get one of those one day, I bought my first one last week. Bought it at a local gun shop near Birmingham, AL. Judging by the serial number it apears to be early 80's but I have no way of knowing for sure. Can...

I just bought my first Smith & Wesson Model 586 and was wondering what the manufacture date is. Serial no. ABVXXXX Thanks
