Can't believe nobody has posted this. Mine is from the Mountains. Anybody else got a 625?

A friend and I went out to a few local gun shops today. In a used case I found a Model 617 (don't know the dash) with an 8 3/8 inch full underlug barrel. It is a square butt with the S&W square butt finger groove target grips (with beautifully figured wood). It has a stainless steel, not alloy...

I found a Model 60-4 today and was wondering what value members would place on the gun. It has been fired, but is in very good to excellent condition, save being dirty. Just the gun without the box and "rubber" boot grips. I have another one and I know that they came with Uncle Mikes full size...

I have decided not to sell the gun here. Thanks I have for sale a 1076, 10MM. This is one of the commercial variants, not a law enforcement gun. It is in good condition showing some holster wear. It comes in a blue plastic S&W box with a label denoting the serial number of this gun over...

Went to a LGS today and found a consigned 686-3, 2.5 inch. It was filthy, but overall looked good. It came with finger groove Pachmyr grips (which I don't like). I put the K/L round butt targets that I had laying around on it. It has a few small spots on the cylinder, but they cannot be felt...

I saw a 2 1/2 inch 686-4 with 7 shot cylinder yesterday. The hammer and trigger have been polished and front sight changed to a tritium night sight (probably dead by now). It is wearing a set of finger groove VZ grips. They were asking $849 and would not budge on the price. Is this fair or...

Ladder 13 and I decided to get out of town and "hit" some guns shops today. A LGS about 50 miles away had a Registered Magnum for sale. It was a 6.5 inch and about 95% (I'm not good at estimating. It had some handling marks and muzzle wear). The gun was in the 144X range (cant remember the...

629's on 629

I have a question (I think I know the answer) about a Model 39-2 I saw at a LGS today. Did S&W ever make the 39-2 in "two tone?" The gun I saw had a nickel frame and a blued slide. The gun was not in good shape so I am not interested in buying it, just wanted to know if it was a parts gun or...

I have a Model 27 four screw no dash blue steel with a 6.5 inch barrel that is wearing "Coke" grips. The gun, per Roy Jinks, was shipped in December of 1959. It is in extremely good condition for its age but I have the gun only, no box or tools. Serial number S 1885XX. I am thinking...

I saw a photo of a Model 17-3 with an 8 3/8 inch barrel in nickel. The gun has a target trigger, hammer and stocks and they are blued. It has a box that reflects that its nickel, but I'm not sure if the label is original. The cylinder does not have an "N" stamped on it and the barrel flat...

Saw one today at the gun show. Gun is in decent condition, no box and one mag. I could have bought it for $650 out the door. Was this a good deal? I don't need another .45 and its really too big for my hands.

I learned a great deal from the current Combat Magnum thread and did not want to impose on it for my question. I bought my Combat Magnum several years ago for a good price. It was shipped in February, 1957 and has serial number K2619XX. The gun has a few small imperfections but overall is in...

I have for sale a Model 60 no dash, 55th Anniversary Commemorative revolver commissioned by the Va. State Police Association. This gun was engraved in Ken Hurst's shop (the late Mr. Hurst was a noted master engraver who worked for Colt for a number of years) about 1985. The gun is marked...

I see that S&W has announced that the M&P will be offered in 10MM. They will offer two barrel lengths, 4.0 and 4.6. These guns will have 15 plus one magazine capacity. Supposedly built on same frame as the .45 and use a modified .45 magazine. Personally, I have never warmed up to the M&P...

I bought a Lady Smith case from him and he shipped it the same day and it arrived earlier than promised. The case was exactly as described and just what I needed. Can't say enough about this transaction. Bill

I have been offered a Model 29-4 Hill Country Distributors, five inch, full underlug with unfluted cylinder. I have researched the gun and know it is from a limited run. The gun is in excellent condition (maybe unfired since factory) and in the box. The seller is firm at $1500 and just wanted...

I have a line on one of 500 Model 29-4's with the five inch full underlug barrel and unfluted cylinder. It is the only one I've ever seen and would like opinions on the value of this gun. It is as new, in the box. Thanks, Bill

Yesterday, my cousin called me and said a LGS in a town about 50 miles from me had bought a collection of S&W revolvers. It was too near closing time so I got up early today (Saturday) and was there just after they opened. I also met a gentleman who is also an S&W collector and member here...

This is one (of many) models of S&W that I am not familiar with so I have a couple of questions about one I saw yesterday. It is a long barrel (not sure about exact length, probably 5 or 6 inches), nickel, target model. The finish appears to be original and in extremely good condition for its...
