Just bought this one today. Couldn’t resist since price seemed very reasonable. Condition is a bit rough, but thought it could make a good truck gun. A bit confused by the SV serial number…..was this gun reworked by S&W for the added safety feature for the hammer? Interesting the cylinder is...

I recently purchased the pictured gun, and what attracted me to it were the grips. They are normally seen on the New Century model, especially the early-run guns, but I got to wondering if this gun could have shipped from the factory with these grips. Your thoughts? Would a letter tell me...

I know that the 44 HE first model target guns (triplelock) had serial numbers stamped on the underside of the rear sight tang. Are serial numbers also stamped on the underside of the rear sight tang for the 44 HE second model target guns?

I picked this one up a while back. Truthfully, I don’t know much about these J-frames, but I knew this one was one I couldn’t pass up. I’m not sure it’s been fired, but if so, it hasn’t been much. I haven’t seen too many with a 3” barrel. Is it rare? Serial number is 432xxx, which I think...

I tried to resist…. Really, I did. As I’ve accumulated a few guns over the last year, or so, I’ve told myself that I would be disciplined, and only buy guns in .44cal. I didn’t want guns of too many calibers in the safe, cuz that would just mean more different kinds of ammo, more reloading...

Recently, I was able to pick up this gun, and I'm extremely happy with it! Not perfect, so it should fit right in with the rest of what I have in the safe. I had never seen one of these 4" models before seeing this one, and I now understand these are not all that common to find with the 4"...

Looking to buy some period correct target stocks for my Model 1950 44spl. Gun dates to mid-fifties. Prefer non-relieved smooth targets, but would consider any target stocks in good condition from that era. Thanks for the help!

I recently picked up a couple of 44HE guns, and thought I would share this one with you. I find this gun VERY interesting for a number of reasons. The first is that it is chambered in 44WCF and marked that way on the barrel. Other guns of this model I have seen barrel marked as 44-40 CTG...

I picked this one up recently and thought I would share pictures. I generally prefer blued guns, but the clean nickel finish on this one is exceptional.

I was fortunate to recently acquire this gun, and thought I would share some pictures. It's not pristine, but its dang sure nice enough for me! Truthfully, I like my guns a bit less than perfect, otherwise I think I would not want to shoot them. And those of you who have shot Triplelocks know...

I have been reading past threads about triple locks, and have seen a few letters posted from Roy that say these were made in 4", 5", 6", 6-1/2" and 7-1/2" barrel lengths. I've seen many posts with pictures I've admired of guns in all of these barrel lengths, except 6". My copy of the S&W Std...

Recently picked up a lightly used 624 that dates to 1985. I’m usually more interested in older guns, but I am impressed with this gun! I really don’t think it’s been fired much. Came with original box and tools. Grips have an ink stamp on them dated May 25, 1985. I can see how some folks...

Today, these showed up in the mail….. Prewar style grips in moose antler. Here they are on my 2nd model 44HE and 3rd model 44HE. Not sure where they will end up, cuz I have more guns to try them on. Needless to say, I’m very pleased with them!

Hello, recently joined S&WCA and SHF. I waited a while to do this as I've been a lurker on the site for a few years now. But this old revolver addiction appears to be here to stay, so it was time to join! I've been an avid hunter and fisherman all my life, but handguns really only came into...

I recently found this holster as NOS. I believe it is unused and quite beautiful. There are no number markings on the backside of the holster, just the branding, SD Myres, Sweetwater, Tex. Any ideas on what this would be made for and age? A K frame with no sights seems to fit OK, but perhaps...

Yesterday I received a nice little package in the mail…… I bought this 3rd model from another forum member who was kind enough to part with it. It came with a S&W letter that says it shipped to W&K on Nov. 20, 1928 as part of a 100 gun shipment of which 25 were in the configuration of my gun...

I’ve got the .44HE sickness bad……This is the third one I’ve picked up in the last few weeks. All numbers match, including the grips. It’s not pristine, but it’s pretty dang nice and will make a nice shooter. Serial number is 607XX, so it must be one of the last 2nd models made. Letter I got...

I recently acquired this revolver, and found it interesting for a few reasons. First, it has the uncommon 5” barrel. Second, it has a very early serial number, according the the S&W Std Catalog. It’s also interesting to me that it has a large S&W logo on the right side, not the small one on...

Very excited to have picked this one up! I'm pretty sure its a .44 HE 3rd model pre-war gun with a 5" barrel. The serial number, 289xx, is very early in the range noted in the Std Cat. for the 3rd model. I've seen discussions where some HD models were made in .44spl, but I don't think this...

As the title says, I am new to reloading, and I’m hoping to tap into the expertise on this forum. I am looking to begin acquiring the equipment and supplies to start ( I know, couldn’t have picked a worse time), but would like some opinions as to best brands to consider, and those to stay away...
