I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I've never owned an L-Frame. Do all the recent production one have round butts?

I bought this K22 Masterpiece about 6 years ago. I'm curious when it was built. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently posted a range report on another forum about shooting 3 different 9mm handguns with reloaded ammunition. In that post, I noted that my reloads were too long for the S&W M&P9 2.0 compact. The first round I tried fired, but the second failed to go fully into battery and jammed the gun...

I've had a 9mm Shield for about a year and it's been a great little handgun. Never had any failures of any kind. This morning I field stripped it, cleaned and oiled it and tried to put it back together. I found that I couldn't move the slide back far enough for the slide lock to engage. Then I...

I really like the looks and feel of the Shield. Awhile back I rented one at the indoor range. The trigger pull seemed really heavy, but broke cleanly. The gun functioned perfectly, has great sights for a small handgun, but shot low for me at 7 yards. I decided to order a Ruger LC9s Pro instead...

Selling a like-new 1911 ES (Officer's Model Butt and Commander length barrel) Black Scandium frame with Stainless Steel slide and checkered Rosewood grips. Slide to frame, barrel to slide and barrel to bushing fit are all good. This gun looks and shoots like new and makes a great concealed carry...

About 3 years ago I bought a NIB S&W 1911 ES. It has a Commander length slide with barrel bushing, a scandium Officer's Model length frame and it makes a great little carry gun. I decided I might like to sell it and checked Smith's web site to see what the current price is. I can't find it on...

I've been looking for an older Model 17 to replace one I foolishly sold a number of years ago. That one I bought new in the 60's. I recently located and purchased a used K22. The serial number is K 192xxx and it is located on the butt, rear of the cylinder and the inside of the right grip panel...

I recently purchased one of these. It's a nice gun, but there were a few things I didn't like about it. The Miculek grips are pretty, but didn't fit my hands all that well. Also the gold bead doesn't work well with my old eyes, especially in bright sunlight. The action was pretty smooth out of...

Sometime in the mid to late 70s I bought a little 2" J frame that was like the original Model 60 (.38 Special), but had an adjustable rear sight and about the tallest front sight you have ever seen. Wish I still had it - it was a pretty neat little gun. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I...

I picked this up a few months ago. I really like this little guy. It isn't bad to shoot with .357 Mags because it is all steel and has rubber grips. It really makes a fun plinker with .38s and doubles as a nice, light trail gun. The single and double action trigger pulls are so crisp, smooth and...

I don't visit this forum regularly, but when I do, I never see any posts about S&W 1911s. What's the deal? I have a 1911 ES and a Series E 1911 SC. Both of these are great little guns - light, accurate, reliable and nice to look at. Am I looking in the wrong place, or is there just not much...

This is a NIB 1911 ES (CCO style). $950 shipped to your ffl anywhere in the Continental US except California. Payment by US Postal Service money order only please.

In April I purchased 2 new S&W 1911s. One was a new E Series SW1911SC. The SC turned out to be a beautiful gun. The slide to barrel, barrel to bushing and slide to frame fit are really good. Overal fit and finish are close to custom shop quality. Trigger pull was pretty good also - about perfect...

I just bought one of these for what I thought was a pretty good price. It came with box, papers and trigger lock and looks to have been shot little, if at all. Aside from its very light weight and 200 gr bullet maximum, is there any bad news I might expect? I'm not recoil shy at all and a 180 or...
