For sale is a Smith 696 no dash wearing Hogue Bantam grips. It has the smoothest DA trigger, very light also. I'd put the gun at 97-98%. It has a couple minor handling marks in the stainless steel...nothing that couldn't be easily buffed out. I did manage to bang the front site taking it out...

I recently purchased a 629 revolver with the wooden grips pictured below. I don't want them and would like to sell but I have no idea what they are worth. Can someone tell me what these are going for?

Why is the S&W overtravel stop pin (that goes inside the trigger return spring within the return slide) only put on N frame revovlers? I would think it would be a good idea in a L frame as well. Has anyone purchased extra pins and put them in L frame revolvers? I think they would work in an...

I have a set of S&W Medallion logo grips for an N-Frame that I do not have a use for. Can someone tell me how much they are worth, I have no idea? They are in 99% condition I'd say. Similar grips to the one shown in the below picture I found in another thread.

I just purchased a 696. I have some 44 magnum brass lying around. I seated a bullet in the crimp groove to see if it fit into the 44 special chamber and it does just fine. I thought the concept of the 44 magnum was to increase the length of the cartridge enough so that it did not fit into the...

I bought the reduced power mainspring kit from Wolff. I am more concerned with lightening up the DA pull and just want to replace the mainspring at this time. I am leary of taking off the sideplate as I've heard that can be tricky. Can the mainspring be replaced without taking off the...

I just registered to the S&W forum after lurking for a while. I just purchased a 629-4 classic with a 6.5" barrel and am having a blast re-loading and shooting it. I bought it as a companion to my 1894 cowboy 44 with a 24" barrel for deer hunting. I plan on trying the Smith out on deer this...
