Basically, I'm looking for nice M29 that is about as old as I am :) And while I fully intend to shoot it, I also intend to take very good care of it. So 98%+ finish and correct/tight function are important to me. Tools/case/papers etc are not Barrel length is also secondary, but would prefer...

Just inherited what seems to be a S&W M1917 military issue revolver in 45ACP. Serial number (I think) dates it to 1918 but what's got me confused is the finish and stocks--they don't look like other M1917s that I see on the website. The finish is a gorgeous deep blue ( not parkarized) and the...

Is it normal to have a slightly different trigger feel (in the same gun) between the right and left hand? My S&Ws have a different feel depending on the hand I'm using to pull the trigger. For example, pulling the trigger with my left hand, the bolt seems to engage slightly later and...

S&W fixed sight revolver here (Model 22-4). Gun is shooting ~2" to the right of the POA @ 15 yards (and I'm a right handed shooter so any flinching on my part tends to throw rounds to the left) To fix this, there are three solutions that come to mind: 1)rotate bbl to move front sight slightly...

Ok, here's a poll--I cannot find a thread about this already, and a comment in another thread got me to thinking about this. We like to complain about everything the lock stands for but does anyone actually use it for what S&W intended??

the thumb latch on my 22-4 "classic" has two raised, sharp corners that dig into my thumb when I shoot. i'd like to replace it with a similar looking latch, but one that is slimmer. are there any classic-looking latches that don't have the sharp corners? thanks!

Two-part question here: 1) Is "in spec" barrel/cylinder gap measured w/ no pressure on the cylinder or while the cylinder is pulled to the rear? 2) Is the "measured gap" the size of the largest feeler gauge that can be slid all the way through the gap or is going half-way enough to count? If...

Simple question. I've been told that the S&W website is never up to date and I'm trying to get confirmation that a model is in fact discontinued. Five of the five dealers I've tried are no longer showing listings for this particular model (22-4 in this case) and they say that usually means...

Has anyone ever heard of anyone offering custom, replacement MIM hammers? I have an 1917-style "Classic" gun and would love a retro-styled hammer.

Just picked up a brand spanking new S&W 22-4 today. After playing with it for a few hours, it's clear that this gun seems to have some troubles. The problems that I have noticed so far: 1) Opening and closing the cylinder is sticky. It releases with difficulty and sometimes is hard to...

Hello, I'm pretty new to looking @ older S&Ws and need your advice. I have decided upon getting a 4", blued Model 29-2. It would be a "shooter" but it would also not be knocked around too much (so gun could be a nice "looker" too) Because I'm not a collector, I don't care about getting...

any reason (collectable or otherwise) i should not put a satin finish on my no dash 696? thanks :)

Saw a guy who drilled and tapped his IL hole and then inserted a screw and filed and filed and filed...and re-blued. It looks absolutely fantastic! Curious to know if anybody has tried any other technique for perminantly filling in the fame hole on a carbon steel gun? Seems like it should...

Can find the whole story. If it's true, which models will be affected? The way I understand it, S&W needs to keep the lock on any gun they want to sell in California. Thanks
