Prefer a Kramer horsehide belt scabbard but will consider other high quality alternatives. PM to let me know if you have something, Thanks.

Happened into my not so local gunshop today to browse around while my wife was at an appointment. No intentions of actually buying anything as my goofing off fund is severely depleted. But of course something S&W caught my eye so I had to have a closer look. The revolver didn’t catch my eye so...

I’m going to look at some guns tomorrow and see what I can get for a good deal. Seller has a 6.5” Triplelock 44sp, fixed sights and wearing 1980’s Target stocks. It hasn’t been over buffed and isn’t all washed out but it has been nickeled aftermarket at some time in the past including the hammer...

What would you pay for a used but not abused 4053? I know where one is that shows some holster wear but is mechanically good. It’s cheap enough I’m thinking I really should be buying it just because it’s a deal. But I’m not really a .40 guy and I don’t see myself carrying it much.

Has there ever been a concrete number cited on how many of these were produced? I own one and I’ve heard several numbers over the years ranging from less than 150 to nearly a thousand. Mine has likely led an interesting life. I found it in a small gun shop in Alaska. It’s clearly been used but...

In several threads I’ve noticed a propensity for posters here to carry “modern” pocketknives, ala Benchmade, Spyderco, etc with much mention of autos and assisted openers. Do any of you guys ever carry a plain old jack knife or spring back? I don’t have anything against autos or more modern...

I lucked into a Kramer belt scabbard for my 5” 625 on the big auction sight last night. As you probably know 5” full lug holsters aren’t exactly a dime a dozen on the used market and I’d been looking for some time. Anyone have experience with Kramer? I perused their website and it looks like...

Just out of curiosity how many of you guys carry and use your pre 1961 guns out in the weeds? I have a 38/44 Outdoorsman and Heavy Duty that both see regular trips afield when I’m hunting pigs or deer, or when I’m just out kicking around mushroom hunting or going to the fishing hole. I also...

I’m looking for a California Competition demooner or super demooner. The one that Dillon catalogs. Have cash or assorted trade stock.

Years ago I bought a NIB 3” 625 from a gentleman at the Tulsa gun show. In my youthful ignorance I told him to keep the box and the S&W branded holster if he’d knock $50 off, which he did. It had finger groove combats, standard plain black adjustable sights, and the normal brushed finish of most...

Any of you fellas have an idea who might have made this? It’s for a 2.5” K. Thin leather and suede lined, IWB. Heavy duty snaps. I bought it off Ebay a couple years ago and use it to carry my 2” M10. It’s very secure and comfortable and I’d like to find another for my Chief and maybe a spare...

I started a thread last week about my new to me 2nd model 44 Target. I went and shot if Sunday and it is a fantastic shooter but there is a problem. The nice tight groups it was shooting were landing about 10" high at 25 yards and 2' or so high at 100 yards. Problem is the King front sight...

Did a little trading this week and ended up with a 2nd model 44 target. It is probably in 70% condition finish wise with a fine bore and perfect timing. Front sight blade is looks like a Kings with a white square insert but has been narrowed with a file slightly which removed any makers mark...

I bought a pretty nice 38/44 OD a while back, short action serial #78925 and I was wondering a couple things about it I've noticed recently. When did they stop numbering the cylinder and barrel? And did they ever ship guns that the finish didn't match between the different parts? I know it's...

Thinking of making a trade for a 1917 but have a couple questions. Any help would be appreciated. Commercial gun, no US property stamps. Missing the lanyard ring but has the pin. Finish is original at about 50%. Non original diamond magnas that have been sanded and have a pretty good chip...
