Looking for an after market keyhole plug for a model 69. Anyone still making them? Thanks - Donald

My 659 won't go back together. The guide-rod won't stay clipped to the barrel anymore. The teeny-tiny notch on the barrel appears to be worn out. {Won't hold the rod and spring}. What's the fix? Thanks- Don ~ P.S. Pictures included ONLY because I know how everyone likes pictures.

Smith & Wesson Model 99 polymer frame semi-auto pistol produced from 1999 thru 2006 in a joint effort by SMITH & WESSON of the USA {slide and related parts}, and by CARL WALTHER of GERMANY {frame and related parts}. It is a very close copy of the Walther Model P99 made entirely in Germany from...

Nickel S&W model 39-2, SERNO: A5863XX {six digit with an 'A' prefix}. New in the box just as it was when I purchased it from my LGS in May of 1980. {$250.00 + tax}. I'm the first and only private owner. It is un-fired by anyone except the factory, and likely to stay that way as long as I'm the...

A friend and I feel that these are coke grips. Like to hear what you guys say. No serno showing. Thanks. -Donald

Seems like there's more and more of these on the forum lately, so I want to show-off my navy example {again}. SerNo V2512XX {All matching}. Purchased by me in Aug of 1978 {$100} from a local dealer. General info? Comments? ..........:

I got to thinking about the black powder usage of S&W revolvers. This lead me to wonder just how far into the twentieth century did S&W continue to put the black powder anti-fouul cup on the under side of the top strap. Enclosed is a picture of that cup on my 38-44 serno 438XX that Roy says...

...nice .38 S&W {not spl.} M&P with: five inch, service grips, one line, large knob, lanyard ring, all matching {frame, bbl, and grips} serno:8229XX no prefix. Any misc info on it? Thanks. -Don

...while we're here, anyone ever notice the no-step-down shape/cut of top of the frame where the barrel meets the frame? The entire top of the frame, and barrel, and sight is flat. {Best viewed from the side}. Only one I've ever seen like this. Any-way, I've had it hidden away for a number of...

...kscharley talks about his single address line, and that made wonder about mine, so, what's known about the shipping date of my 6 inch 'S-number' M&P? Serno- S9420XX. ~~~ Thanks- Don

These grips {I am told} are from a pre-war "N frame" HE. How can one be certain of that. What are the outstanding give-away features of the grips assuming that there is no serial number showing on the right panel? Is the checking, or the outline, or the medallions unique?  Also, what types and...

...we know that the model 53 .22 cal. S&W was the FIRST hand ejector in any frame size to incorporate a shroud for the extractor in that caliber. My question now is what year and what model number was the SECOND revolver in .22 cal to incorporate a shrouded extractor rod?

I'd like to talk about front-straps and back-straps. I believe that S&W HE revolvers have used three types since 1896: smooth, six groove, and ten groove. {Maybe more}. I'm wondering if there is any semblance of use that can be applied to: the model number, the year, the frame type, or any other...

Can you determine what S&W hand ejector is pictured here? Some of you will know the answer, others can learn something interesting.

Just showing-off my {LGS} ninety-five dollar {Sept. of '78} M&P shipped around 1946-48 {?}. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As follows: -6 digit with S prefix, -modern hockey stick hammer block, -long throw hammer, -one line address, -all matching incl grips. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Comments? Any...

...the .22 special: A few years ago I took advantage of the opportunity to purchase a few hundred rounds of a recent reproduction of a very old .22 caliber cartridge that I had never previously heard of, and is now almost obsolete. This round is called the .22 SPECIAL. The formal name for...
