    Hi all, There is a 1959-shipped 4-screw Model 18 (confirmed by SC of S&W) with a 8.75" full-lug barrel for sale on a forum up here in Canada.

    Help - stocks stuck on my '53 22/32 Target

    Hi all, I have a set of factory target stocks arriving this evening to replace the original factory square-butts on my Model 1953 22/32 Target. I've removed the stock screw no problem, but the stocks refuse to budge, even after sharp raps with a padded wooden dowel. The stocks are in VG...

    Model 34 with 6" BBL weight, photo?

    Hi all, My wife finds my Model 17-6 6" too heavy and bulky for her to shoot comfortably. I've located a S&W Model 34 with a 6" barrel in VG+ condition that I think (hope) she will like. Right now she shoots a Ruger MKIII 6" Std (37oz empty). Can anyone tell me the empty weight of a Model 34...

I cleaned the gun thoroughly after shooting it a week ago....a double pass of the brush with Hoppes #9 in the bore, a couple of cotton swabs also soaked with Hoppes #9, then dry patches until...

    can I store my 17-6 in a nylon holster?

    Just bought an Uncle Mikes #3 for my K-22 Model 17-6. Can I safely store my 17-6 in the holster? Right now its kept wrapped in a cotton flannel cloth, in a rubber-padded metal case, with dessicant bags to reduce moisture. It is used and cleaned at least once a week, and always put away oiled...

    Hello from British Columbia

    New member here. Sounds like the place to be for a new S&W owner like myself. Just purchased my first S&W (my first revolver, in fact). Its a 17-6 and I'm looking forward to trying it out as soon as it arrives.
