    A Bodyguard story with a happy ending

    As another member kindly pointed out to me a couple of months ago, early production laser equipped Bodyguards often locked up when the laser dislodged and jammed the action, preventing any layman's attempt to remedy. About 3 weeks ago, I sent it off to S&W for repair, and got it back yesterday...

    Bodyguard functioning issue

    Bought a used BG w/laser recently. (Seemed to make sense as I had a small stash of .390 ammo). Anyway, all was fine, took it to the range and it ran well. Cleaned it, and have carried it for several months. Figured I would take it to the range again. All of a sudden, I can't "fully" rack the...

    Model 10's and +P - what's the deal ?

    Forgive my ignorance, but I must ask. I routinely shoot "plus P's" in my model 10's. They were made LONG before the advanced heat treatment of cylinders subsequently done on a more or less routine basis. I'm really not shooting really high volume, maybe 25 rds. per session, every other month or...

    Value of unfired commenorative 629-3 ?

    I have a friend who is contemplating selling his "commemorative 629-3 Carpenter Technology". Apparently a run of 2,000 or so of these were made for the 100th anniversary of the firm that supplies the specialty steels to S&W, back in 1989. He knows little about firearms, and has never fired...

    Question regarding comparative accuracy of 586-6" and a 686-2.5"

    Seeking opinions. At say 25 yards, am I likely to see a huge difference in accuracy ? I'll probably be shooting 125gr. 357 and 125 gr. 38 +P ammunition.

    Need some advice on Model-19 selection

    Gentlemen. I am in the position of being able to purchase a new revolver. For a bunch of reasons, I have settled on a Model-19. But, I cannot decide which version to go with, basically because of a lack of info, and opinions. It's between a M-19 "Classic", and a M-19 Carry-Comp. Either will...

    WTS Model-19 (4) w/orig. box, etc.

    *SPF*-Recently bought this really nice, exc. cond. Model-19-3 ( which I presume is 1978 production +/-) from a retired Police Officer (SN: 4K-338XX), and it was an impulse purchase and doesn't fit in with all my .45's. It was his duty gun for a couple of months before his dept. went to...

    WTT 686-6 4" bbl. ANIB (very low rd. count)

    WTT my newly acquired 686. I shoot a lot of .45's, and figured I'd branch out, but .357's are just not for me. This revolver has a grand total of less than 100 rds. through it, and it is essentially new w/box and all. Always looking for .45 LC and .45acp revolvers, semi-autos and carbines...

    Bunch of catalogs - almost for free

    I have 4 different catalogs from the 90's. Very pristine. I figure it'll cost me about $5. to ship them - that's what you can have them for. Is that a deal, or what ?

    Value of Model 36 Nickel Square Butt

    One of the guys I work with has offered me an older Model 36, square-butt, with nickel finish. Comes with original box ( Hmm- silver, not blue ) and papers. If I was forced to put a number on the condition - it would be 97% ++. I want to offer him a fair price, but I also don't want to overpay...

    Pleasant Experience with S&W Customer Service

    Bought a Governor new a couple of months ago, and when shooting all varieties of loads: .45ACP, .45 Long Colt, and Winchester shotshells - impact was significantly left of point of aim, even at "close" distances (like 7 yards). Sure I could have drifted the sight, but at around $700., I expect a...

    Value 625 JM ?

    Looks like I'm going to be forced to sell my relatively new and babied 625-JM. Very few rounds down the pipe. Realistically, what can I expect to sell it for ? $800 ? Any advise or opinions would be most welcome. Thanks.

    Model 22 (1950) Nickel Annoying value question ?

    I have one of these 4' .45 ACP beauties, and since they are ( at least I assume they are ) now out of production again, does that add any value to this piece ? Or, am I just being ignorant about the realities of the market. My accumulation of weapons is always changing, and I don't want to...
