    Okay - Bought the 15-4 - What grips and holster?

    I got it home and cleaned it up. It has been fired very very little has a bit of holster polish and a couple of slight freckles but it is in really great shape. Good timing and tight lock up. Probably 85%. It has the factory wood on it. Probably did okay at $350. I still want a shield...

    Model 15-4 is this a good buy?

    I am not a revolver guy but the LGS has a really nice Model 15-4 Snubby. There is only a faint drag line on the cylinder and a little polishing on the end of the barrel - like holster wear but not even worn through the bluing. The barrel is excellent and the timing seems fine. Locks up...

    What Grips for a Model 49 for my wife? Suggestions please

    I found a blue S&W Model 49 Bodyguard 38 special (all steel) in about 90% condition - more from carry I would say than from being shot. There is only a faint drag-line on the cylinder - no cutting that I can see on the top strap. My wife really likes revolvers (she has a K frame) so I thought...

    Possible gloat - 5903 SSV (short slide variant)

    Yesterday, I poked around Gander and spied and odd 3rd generation S&W - two tone slide, alloy frame, with the old style trigger guard, Novak sights, 15 & 17 round mag, black plastic S&W grips, trigger, slide release and bobbed hammer. SSV marked on one side. Looked to be 95% or better to me...

    Opinions - 9mm M&P Compact vs SW99 Compact

    I would like some thought on my choice. I have a number of pistols and calibers. I am looking at getting a smaller 9mm for CC OWB I kind of narrowed it down to the M&P 9c (with the safety) in DA/SA or a SW99c in DA/SA. At one point I was leaning toward a Walther P99c but it is pretty hard...

    3913TSW with Rail - who can make a holster?

    I have been looking for a good 9mm CCW gun - I narrowed it down to the P239 and a 3913. I have been going back and forth for like 2 months. They are both nice - however, I have several 3rd generations and I guess the S&W just seemed more natural to me. Can't say anything bad about that...

    3rd Generation DA/SA to SA - Possible/Opinions

    I have been thinking about carrying a gun when riding. I have several revolvers and several 3rd Generation S&Ws. I think I would prefer to carry a SA when on horseback to reduce the chance of a 2nd shot being fired if the horse decided spook (I am working on that but I would always want to be...

    Help me make a decision between 2 guns (and an experiement)

    I posted this question on another gun forum. I got a lot of responses, one of which suggested I should post the questions here to see if the results were different. The poster believed that the 3rd generation S&W may not have been getting a fair shake on that general gun forum since more...

    Aftermarket Grips for a S&W 3rd Generation 45XX

    I have a S&W 4566 and I would like to replace the factory grips with some nice wood or stag grips. I know Hogue makes some wood grips are there any other individuals or companies making wood grips for these 3rd generation semi-autos? Also, are there any really good long lasting night sights...
