Hi guys, i was wondering if someone could help me out dating my recent 45ACP acquisition -- S&W Model 25-2 6.5" Serial N6150XX

Hi guys, Thanks for the earlier suggestions on the 25-2 trigger. Ok, second issue. When using metal moonclips or RIMZ moonclips, I get FTF with 45ACP rounds in double action. 100% firing with single action using the same moonclips. Maybe 50% with moonclips - seems to work better with faster...

Hi guys, Just acquired a nice 25-2 sight unseen and am generally happy with my Gunbroker purchase. That said, there is amount of "takeup" in the single action trigger pull that is bothering me and I wanted to fish for some opinions here on whether to ignore it or pursue it further... The...

Hi guys, So I picked up my 25-2 this evening and I'm very pleased with it. One surprise, that did not show up in the gunbroker photos (at least not to me) is that the trigger - a wide target trigger -- has been blued. No not case hardened, but blued... I'm pretty sure this is not how it left...

Hi all, I just purchased, somewhat impulsively shall we say, a used 625-8 JM on GB. Anyway, I haven't received it yet, but I noted somewhat belatedly (face palm) that it does not have the factory sights installed. Nor JM grips (which I did notice and am happy about except for not being able...

Hi all, I have a pretty basic newbie question -- how does S&W stamp/mark the barrels on performance center edition firearms. For example, I've been looking at a revolver online and it seems to me that there is an odd bulge/deformation on the barrel where the "performance center" is stamped...

Hi All, I'm a smith newbie, but an enthusiastic one having been on an acquisition binge in the last 3 weeks -- 17-4, Premodel 14,15-3, and last 25-2. Anyhow, I've had a few challenges with the 17-4 which seem to be rather common based on the threads I've read. After shooting about 60-72 rds...

Hi all, I suppose I have been bitten by a S&W bug as a week ago I only had a hand me down 19-3, but now I have a 19-3, 17-4, and ... this funny looking Model 10 I just bought on gunbroker. A week ago I would not likely have known the difference, but after reading your posts and studying some...

Hi all, Having read many of your posts over the past months, I recently decided I wanted to acquire an S&W K22 variant. I previously had been given a 19-3 by my dad, but that was my only S&W. I wwatched a few GB auctions skyrocket, and then happened to find a pretty nice 17-4 for sale at a...
