I got them all out today for a wipe down and visual check. I figured I would take a family photo. I have a total of seven; two -5, 1 -8, 3 -10 and 1 -11. Three of them are returns from Victoria police department.

I have a model 36, no dash, serial 607637. I have information that says it was made before 1967 because of the dash one came about in 1967. Then I have info on 1968 because of the serial number and no diamond grips. I know S&W did things in different manners and different times with most...

I recently picked up my third 39-2 and am looking for a year of shipping. Serial Number is A167062. Appreciate any information.

I have a S&W 10-5, serial #D871180, looking for born date. I'm guessing late 60's/early 70's. I have misplaced all my paperwork on this one. Assistence please.

I have two holsters I no longer need. One A.E Nelson Model 58 One custom rig. It holds 4" auto or revolver $75.00 each shipped.

I just picked up a 39-2 that has an issue with the bluing. Some spots look like they were cleaned with some solution that peeled the blue off. Serial number is A167062. Got a guess at age? I have two other 39-2 pistols. This one doesn't want to let the slide come off after pulling the...

I have 7 Model 10 S&W and I have the info on all except one. A 10-10 - Serial Number BDF4812 I'm guessing late 1980's. Anyone have a guess??

I went to clean this revolver today and found only a very faint turn-line. I went over the cylinder and inside the cylinder frame hole. I used a clean cotton cloth and got nothing from any place on the firearm. I will not believe this S&W from 1976 has not been used; but what could someone...

I just picked up a Model 10-5 serial number D8711xx and am looking for manufacture date. Looks like 1976. Any better info would be appreciated.

My grown daughter has had a Smith & Wesson 1990 Model 10 - Australian return - for years as her bedroom gun. Last week she went to a sale of 'returned/broken' items and picked up a Houge one piece exotic hardwood grip. On the cheap! I found a stirrup and screw on ebay and got it put on last...

I picked up a HOGUE one piece grip for a S&W K Frame round butt. It is missing the attaching screw, etc. Does anyone have a photo of what I am missing??

Before inserting my thoughts on the difference of these two models I'll just ask. What is different about the 640-1 that caused S&W to add the -1? Thanks

I have a new S&W M&P 40 S&W pistol with the 6 and 7 round magazines. BOTH are impossible to load with 6 and 7 rounds. Is there any good reason a magazine spring should be this difficult?? I have been shooting bottom feeders since 1975 and never found one that I couldn't load. It took my 26...

I have a new mission: my son dropped by yesterday with a new toy for me. My first .40 Caliber - so I need info on ammunition for defense and for range. Magazines that may be available and OWB holsters. All inputs welcome.

When did S&W stop putting cleaning kits and SAT's in with new handguns? I have a set, still in the plastic, with the post-war hollow ground aluminum SAT and just trying to date it. Thanks for any info.

Well, I got a nice surprise today. My son came out to help with a couple of things and we spent some time in the backyard range. I checked out my AR with the newly installed Ruger trigger. Nicely moved from 8 1/2 pounds down to 5 1/4. Nice change. He then broke out his EDC - a S&W 40...

I see where S&W has decided to bring back the 19 in custom shop and classic. Any thoughts??????

I found this on FB and had to share:

I bought a used S&W holster for a revolver. When it arrived I found it to be in good condition. However, it has not had a revolver in it for YEARS. I did force my revolver into it and got the strap snapped. What is the best method of getting the leather re-shaped to hold my revolver without...

I carry a 640-1 (.357 Magnum) most of the time. Usually I use a Kramer horsehide holster on the left front side. It disappears under a T-Shirt. There are times when I want something a little more hidden. I recently found a Steve McQueen (style) Bullitt holster for J-Frame. I have been...
