I am thrilled to say I have finally found a Model 52-2 in minty condition. Absolutely love the gun after having it to the range two times. I did a full strip and cleaning today for the first time...but I am at a loss as to how tight to make the barrel bushing on reassembly. Finger tight while...

Looking for 6" barrel for a 19-3 in excellent condition. If you have one or know where one is for sale please PM me. Easy

I have a chance of buying a Model 52 with an extended Bo-mar rib. The one where the front site extends well beyond the muzzle. Does anyone know how difficult it would be to remove the rib and replace it with an original looking front sight and an original or after-market adjustable rear sight...

Hello everyone... A retired police officer friend of mine has recently acquired a minty 19-3 with a four inch barrel. He loves the gun and wants to eventually be able to pass it on to his son. However, we live in Canada with bizarre gun laws. A four inch revolver produced after 1946 is...

I will be picking up my first new Model 41 later this week and the only change I anticipate making to the gun is to replace the laminate wood grips. I know there are a number of after-market sources for custom grips, including some good looking Hogues, but the grips that really attract me are...

I am just about to buy a new five inch Model 41 from a local dealer. Serial number UDS99xx. Just curious if anyone can tell me when it was made or shipped from the factory? My Supica & Nahas is only good to 2006. Thank you

A couple of months ago I decided that I "needed" a S&W 22 revolver. And I was soon surprised at how hard it was to find one in excellent condition here in Canada. I live near Toronto. But this story ended happily after I located one online in Calgary. In fact, the gun exceeds my...

A fellow gun club member has recently acquired a Model 17-3 six inch non-target model. It has molded black rubber grips with a S&W logo on them. The grips cover the lower half of the back strap. The friend swears that the gun has a round butt and the grips are round-to-square conversions...

I have a chance to buy a Pre Model 17 K22 and I was wondering if anyone could please give me some information about its lineage? Serial # K 2660XX I would appreciate any info you can give me about year of manufacture? Pre or post war? And perhaps some idea of its value in good condition...

After a lengthy search I recently bought a five inch M27-2. Love the gun, very accurate and IMHO one of the nicest N frames made by S&W. This gun replaces a five inch M27-2 I foolishly sold a while back. My only concern is twice now, while shooting, the gun has gone into a condition where...

I have just brought home a beautiful M29-2 that is in excellent condition except for the need for a good cleaning and one small bit of pitting the size of a pin head on the side of the frame just above the cylinder release. (see picture) I can live with the blemish and realize that no amount of...

I recently made the "mistake" of buying a minty M25-2 and it has rekindled my passion for older Smiths and now I want more of them. My next goal is to buy a Model 29 to replace a 29-3 I foolishly sold several years ago to help finance a Les Baer 1911. The foolish part was selling the M29 (and...

I have a new-to me Model 25-2 that I took to the range today and discovered there is a problem in adjusting the sights. I hope some of you knowledgeable people might point me in the right direction to find a solution. The problem is the gun is printing nice tight groups about four to five...

I found this in a local shop and couldn't pass it up. An M25-2with case, manual, unused cleaning tools, rare yellow front sight insert and in excellent condition. The flocking in the case had deteriorated to the point that it had turned to dust. So until I decide what to do about it I have...

Great forum. Looking forward to learning a lot about my newly acquired 25-2 and hopefully contribute a thought or two. My other interests include Triumph Bonnevilles, kayaking and archery. I think I'll stop there...it is starting to sound like a dating service. :D Easy
