    WTB: K frame square butt factory grips

    Looking to get some grips for my model 19. I'm trying to replace the Pachmayers that are on it right now. It's a shooter, not a safe queen, so I don't need some mint condition set of grips, just something that presents well. Prefer target football cut. Sorry guys, emptied out my inbox

    Buying first 5 screw, what to look for?

    Found a pre-model 18 K frame 4 inch which the seller claims to date to 1950 for an unusually low price locally. Going to meet face to face but I've never handled a 5 screw. From what I have been able to find, a gun of this configuration and vintage should be around 800-1000, so his price makes...

    Price check on nickel 586

    Have my eye on a 586 no dash nickel with a 6" barrel. I already have a blued one but it was rather beat up before I purchased it. This one is in fantastic shape, easily 98%. Has cardboard box and paperwork included.

    Police trade in M&P 45 with LE logo?

    Found a small lot on sale at Classic Firearms. From the video they look to be in good shape, all have the Durham, NC police logo engraved on the slide. Can't recall seeing any LE trade ins with the logo on the gun. Any other LE trades out there that people have run across? For $350 seems like a...

    Value of a blued 6" 17-3?

    Found a 17-3 locally that looks to be in good shape minus some marks on the top from where a scope was mounted. Otherwise its in fantastic shape. Does not have the original box/docs and has replacement rubber grips on it. Having a hard time figuring a price for this since most I've seen online...

    Trouble valuing 36-3 Lady Smith

    Family member has a mint condition 36-3 Lady Smith in a 3" bull barrel that they would like to sell but I'm not able to find much info out there to assist with pricing. It has zero scratches on it, with hardly a turn ring on the cylinder. Its been fired for maybe a cylinder or two. Has box and...

    Pricing a 29-2 6 1/2"

    Found a nickel 29-2 local to me with no box or papers. Finish looks excellent with a slight turn ring. It looks like a 6.5 inch but he's saying it's a 6 inch gun. The part of the barrel in front of the lug looks longer than the lug itself by just a little, which from pictures I've seen the lug...

    Police Trade-In 640

    Saw these pop up on slickguns and seemed like a decent deal for $470. Pulled the trigger on one, should be in the mail to my FFL shortly. I'll post some pictures once it gets here! Should take some of the snubby shooting burden off of my M19...

    Original grips for a 2.5" 19-3?

    Im going to go check out a 2.5" 19-3 later today and wanted a little education before I go. Its blued with wood grips and looks to be in good shape, but the pictures are a bit poor quality. Other than the usual timing and lockup to look for, is there anything specific to the 19-3, especially...

    Aftermarket grips that won't scratch a nickel gun?

    So I just got myself a pristine 29-2 and I didn't fully expect how much this thing was going to kick. The factory stocks are so new that the texturing even hurts my hands. I'm trying to get input on aftermarket grips for this that will help with the recoil and will not damage the finish under...

    Finally found a 29-2

    I've been looking for a long while for a 29-2 in good shape. Finally came across this one on the other side of the state. Wife and I flew out for a weekend trip and stopped in to pick this beauty up. Zero wear except for a faint turn ring. He had the original box but no tools or papers. Serial...

    restoring grips?

    Got my first Smith revolver several months ago, a gorgeous 19-3 shooter but it had patchmeyers and I really wanted some factory wood stocks. I found an awesome old take off set on ebay that is really dark and has amazing grain but the wood looks a little dry. Would i be better off leaving it or...

    value change for parts?

    Found a 19-3 in nickel and it is in good shape with no box or docs but I has original black plastic grips and a standard trigger and hammer. What value difference is usually related to different parts? I've been looking for values and have seen that 19-3 in 4" nickel with rosewood and target...

Also found the 19-3 in 4" blued no box or docs and black grips for $400. Wife won't let me get both unfortunately. which would be the smarter buy? Its basically...

Also have both a 4 or a 6" 19-3 both with box/papers/tool and in excellent cond for $650. Budget dictates only one (trust me, I want them all) so which is...
