Was thinking of selling my 1968 17-2.
Bought a year ago from seller who IIRC, said cylinder was either 'timed' or replaced by S&W. I only shot 30-40 rounds thru it and shoots perfectly, but I am wondering if the cylinder should be marked or another area on the gun should be marked re: cylinder...
I thot I left feedback for WoodSmith re: a trigger shoe I purchased which he sent posthaste. Unfortunately, I forgot to do so. WoodSmith is a great seller and equally fine gentleman.
My fault :o
I am going to buy a Remora IWB for my 66-5. It is the one with the odd-ball 3 1/4" barrel and I am wondering if anyone has any experience re: that specific barrel length with the different Remora holsters specific to that model Smith. Perhaps someone has bought a Remora for the same model...

What I received was suprisingly better in all respects.
Many thanks, Ira :)
