I need some help in determining what a “fair value” or “sale price” would be on the revolver that I will post photos of. I am at a point in my life that I really need to downsize and I am considering selling this revolver but need some advice from educated “Smith people” as to what it is worth...

I put off getting a 45 for a year and had pretty much settled on a M & P Shield. Today, I went to the S & W site to take another gander at them and when I clicked on the spot that said M & P 45 Shield Featured, it took me to the M & P Shield M2.0 pistols but they were only shown in 9mm and 40...

I ran across a S & W Model 59 today but know very little about them. (I'm more of a revolver guy). The fellow who has it purchased it from the widow of a LE Officer who carried it as his sidearm. The pistol is in excellent shape - very little wear and what there is is very minor - I guessing...

I have a nice Combat Masterpiecd - I believe DOB of 1955 (from what I was told on here). Serial No. is K 2486XX. This revolver has very little blueing wear - just slight lightning of blueing at muzzle edge from probably holster wear. It does not appear to have been fired a lot. I have only...

A LGS has a nickel 10-5 snub that is supposed to be in very good shape. I talked to a salesman on the phone and he said it was "very nice" . . . but everyone's interpretation is different and I know it's hard to put a value on something that you can't see. They have $370.00 on it (I know from...

Just thought I'd post this in case someone wanted to "improvise" a "mag pouch" for their Shield for use at the range, etc. I recently purchased a 9mm Shield and I love it. I was looking for something to carry my mags in to where I shoot and remembered I had a double mag pouch for 1911 45ACP...

Please excuse me if this has already been covered - I'm sure it has at some point but my "searches" on here haven't brought anything up. I know I'll be looking to get some spare mags for myna 9mm Shield. I am still getting used to it so don't know if I'm going to get the 7 or 8 round mags -...

I'm an older "coot" of 62 - always been a "revolver guy". I own one semi-auto - a SR9 that I've had for 8 + years and when I purchased it, it took a lot for me to buy a "plastic gun". But - it's been great. Normally, I CCW a Smith Model 36 J frame. Lately, I've been wanting "a little more"...

I'm just curious. I see these advertised every month in the American Rifleman. I son't know as I'd want to use one every day but for certain circumstances, one might not be to carry - they are somewhat of a "dressy" look. I usually carry on the belt - don't like carrying IWB. I'm hoping to...

O.K. First, this is how I carry - on the belt. I'm 62, 6', 210. My normal carry is a Smith Model 36 snub. I don't like in the belt, etc. Carry on my right side and usually cover with a shirt tail or jacket. I can't remember the brand of holster I'm using - Bianchi maybe? - but it pulls the...

I'm getting ready to get a 9mm Shield in the next couple of weeks to add to my CCW. Normally I carry a Smith Model 36 snub (What can I say? I'm old and like revolvers!). Everything I've seen/heard/looked at have pretty much narrowed it down to the Shield to fit my needs. Anyway . . . I've...

Getting ready to get set up for reloading the 32-20 (32 WCF) cartridge and I need some brass. Looking for either new, 1 X fired or even range brass. I'd like to come up with 200 or so casings - mixed head stamps O.K. - I'll sort . . . and would consider smaller quantities as well. Anybody...

I have been switching the grips on my Smiths to Pachmyre grips as I like the feel of them and the hold they give me. So - I bought Pachmayr grips for my Model 36 J frames - snub and 3" which are 1980's vintage - they went on and fit fine. I purchased three sets of Pachmayr Part No. 03264 grips...

I'm getting ready to play around with loading some 38 Colt Short and Long in both smokeless and black powder. Will be shooting them out of a New Vaquero and eventually either a Richards & Mason conversion or a 1872 Colt open top. I know that I have read where some fellows reload the 38 Colt...

I hope I am posting this in the correct section - if not - please move. I have some questions on the Model 66. I have a lead on a stainless 4" that I might be interested in but I have no experience with that model. I like the K frames - have a M & P and a Combat Masterpiece. For some reason...

I currently have a Model 36 blued snub that is my primary cover - I like it and for my purposes, it works great. I recently got a lead on a Model 36 - shiny - with a 3 inch barrel. I have always wanted a 3" as well as a snub. It's not pristine but is in nice shape - a shooter rather than a...

To start with, I've always been pretty much a "revolver" guy - have and shoot vintage 38 spl Smiths. I do own one 9mm semi - a Ruger SR9 which I love, it shoots well, etc. However, I am interested in getting a smaller 9mm for CCW purposes. Normally, I carry a Smith Model 36 snub. I carry on...

Am looking at getting a 1872 Colt Open Top in 38 - I'm looking for some 1 X fired .38 Colt Long and .38 Colt Short brass - brass or nickel would be fine. I'd like to get about 100 - 200 of each (Long and Short). Anybody got some laying around that they want to part with at a reasonable price...

So far in my "herd" . . . I have 4 S & W hand ejectors - a Model 36 snub, a 1920's M & P "Target", a 1952 "pre 10" M & P and a 1956 4" pre 15 Combat Masterpiece. Oddly enough, the only one that came with the original factory grips was the Model 36 which was pristine (my new CCW). Anyway, the...

I carry a vintage Model 36 snub for CCW. Not to offend anyone, but I'm really beginning to hate the stock grips on it - about as comfortable as a piece of 2 X 2. I ran across the Pachmyre "Gripper Grip" and wondered if anyone has these grips on a Model 36 or a J frame? I have smaller hands...
