...the Two Alpha Auction out of MI that just concluded today (8/23)? There were some terrific bargains, but the one I was after eluded me. Just wondered if somebody here won it, it deserved a good home. It was a Model of 1950 (4th Model) H.E. Target in .44 Spl wearing Cokes. Went for $1400...

While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I'm not sure how I feel about this. Hamre Forge, the company that supplied the additional grips for some of the Lipsey UC offerings, is making a Fuzzy Farrant copy for round-butt J-frames. Right down to offering the same options as the original...

Just purchased these grips - N-frame SB. Kind of a pig-in-a-poke - a couple things piqued my curiosity. 1) The inletting at the top of the grip with the round wooden circle; 2) A plugged, or otherwise lack of a screw hole on the offside; 3) The checkering pattern. It just seems that I've seen...

I have worked with Curt for about 4 or 5 years. I was really sad to learn that he was leaving the business, but fully understand his reasons. Over the time I've known him, I have commissioned three sets of stocks. I'm afraid the pictures do not do them justice, but here are those three...

Last April I won a beautiful 27-2 with a 5" barrel at a small local auction. I took a chance, because the description left much to be desired. I was overjoyed when I got the actual gun. Here it is now (I added the Holly stocks)... About a week ago I got an e-mail from this same auction house...

It's no secret that .44 Spl is my favorite caliber. You guys are probably getting tired of seeing this photo that I have posted numerous times - whenever it seemed remotely applicable... Well I took a good look at it and realized that every numbered model was represented, except one. There...

I have this really nice set of AJE (now Eagle) stocks - N-frame round-butt - that are missing one thing: S&W Medallions. This is something that I would normally commission Curt Harlow to do, but he is busier than a one-armed paper-hanger and not taking on any new work. The question becomes...

Pretty soon people will be scrambling to buy guns with the lock as they will become instant "Collector's Items" - LOL Adios, Pizza Bob

Just got the hankering for a new (to me) gun. I love my .44 Specials and realized I had a "hole" in my collection. I have 24's and 624's and all four of the L-frame .44 Spl's, but I didn't have any Model 21's. Remedied that, with the help of GB, and got this 21-4 nickel. Given the date...

Title says it all. I believe the gun to be product number 15003. They made 250 of them. I'm guessing that they wore Altamont Legacy Panels. Any input would be appreciated. Adios, Pizza Bob

N-Frame round-butt. PM or E-mail me. Thanks. Adios, Pizza Bob

I know that both TruGlo and Trijicon offer front sights in this configuration, but those are all for semi-auto applications. Does anyone offer a Tritium/FO front sight blade for our revolvers? My current set-up is just a FO front sight with a plain black rear. That works just great for outdoor...

It was my understanding that the "200 gr Max Bullet Weight" etched on the barrel underlug was due to possible bullet-pull under recoil for the heavier bullets. Is this correct? Adios, Pizza Bob

In July I was fortunate enough to win a Model 27-2 with a 5" barrel at a local on-line auction. Details in the description were sketchy at best and didn't even specify the barrel length. I knew that it looked like a 5", but the more I looked at it, and thought about it, I was concerned that it...

Wondering if anybody remembers this specific holder and if they are still being made? IIRC they were made of rubber or vinyl and had two holes in which two of the clipped cartridges would be inserted. The rest of the clip/cartridges just kind of hung out there in space, off the belt. My...

Did S&W ever use Ebony for their smooth target stocks, or is this a very dark Rosewood? Adios, Pizza Bob

I love my N-frames. They comprise about 50% of my total S&W collection. To sharpen that focus even more, I prefer that the caliber start with a “4” and my favorite barrel length is 5”. Two out of three isn’t bad. I get e-mails from a small, local auction house. They auction all kinds of stuff...

First, tell me what model this is and once that is determined, what is unusual about it... Adios, Pizza Bob
