Gents - I carried an M&P 45 for the final 4+ yrs of my career, was very hesitant about giving up my Sig 226 40, for a "plastic" 45. Went to the range for the transition to the S&W 45 late 2011/ early 2022 and was more than pleasantly surprised - actually enjoyed shooting it! Times change, my...

I've owned a 10mm for a year or so, like it, enjoy it, no complaints. Just picked up a M&P 45 2.0 and noticed it has a hinged trigger vs the 10mm "safety lever style". Anyone know if a factory 10mm trigger, can be swapped into the 45 version? I like that style better and would like to keep...

Thought I'd ask this here vs the semi auto area. I have scrolled thru the parts lists in the sticky section above and could not find the info. Are the grip screws used on the 39/59/52 series the same size as the 645/745 series? Planning to swap grips on my 745 and would like to go with blued...

I tried the search and came up empty, but I know I've read something on it here in the past. I know Lew Horton had S&W make various runs of 3" N frames - 41, 44 SP and 44 M. I thought that one of those runs included a belt holster or it was available for the model, thru S&W. Since I'm always...

Gents - It's at my FFLs currently and I hope to get it by the end of the week, as work time allows. My guess it's a 90% finish overall, clean inside, great trigger and doesn't rattle at all, like an old 5906 I use to own. No box, paperwork or spare mag with the deal. I intend to use it as a...

I acquired a collection of firearms a few years back, amongst the stuff were a few handgun boxes, which did not match any of the firearms in the rest of the estate. This is a maroon box only, nothing else, in structurally decent shape, but has splotches of white paint on the top of the lid...

I've owned a near new M&P 45 4" Gen I for several yrs, which I barely shoot or carry. (I do have an early 45 Shield that fills those needs) I found a mint, complete part set for a Gen II 45 with the 4.6" bbl/slide. I noticed some minor differences in the internal parts between both...

Not necessarily by choice, but I was given this the other day, by a family friend, who is having serious health issues. He's in his late 60s, said it was his father's and grandfather's before that. Neither of his grown sons, who live out of state, had interest in it. It's a 4 screw, C series...

Gents - I have this on hold at a local store. This is beyond my knowledge base and I can't pinpoint info on the search, but is this label on this box "correct". I know S&W went thru transition phases on production, but believe this 24-3 dates to 1983 according to my 4th edition. Thanks for...

Gents, I've tried to figure this out on my own, but thought I ask here for better info. Would a 57-1 SN #N917xxx, which according to the box was shipped with Target Stocks, has the "speedloader cut out" style grips or the "football" style relief cut? According to my 4th edition, if I'm reading...

Gents - I spent the morning resizing every piece of 38 S&W brass I have on hand, which is just north of 200. I want to get them loaded for better weather ahead, as I need to be able to fire my 1924 Colt Police Positive. Back story to this is, my grandfather, who passed when I was around 2 yrs...

As with many here, the term "need" usually doesn't apply! For the past 6 months or so, I've had a spare set of Ken's Elk grips for a K frame RB. Sitting on the bench in the fun room, they'd stare at me every time I went in there. So you can pretty much guess how this plays out. I had this...

A while back before I owned the M&P in 10mm, someone here posted about the possibility of an M&P 45 ACP slide assembly fitting/functioning. I can't find it with the search anywhere - it may have been inside of a thread. Can anyone shed light on the possibility if this works - or direct me to...

Well I just joined the 41 club! Left the FFLs with my GB found, 1979 S&W 41, 5 1/2" bbl, in the original box with paperwork, earlier today. I'm not a competition shooter, just wanted a well made 22 LR, target type pistol. My questions are.... Did any company other than Weaver make a scope...

Gents - I'm primarily a revolver guy, but on occasion like to join the 21st century. Appreciate any insight to the compatibility for those who are currently using a dot sight set up. I gave into the hype for a 10mm M&P and it's on the way to my FFL as I type this (currently own 2 other, older...

Gents - I've joined the 3" club, so to speak! Picked this up locally, seems to be in very good condition, it had the original grips on it, but I swapped to the Altamonts that I had on a shelf here. Definitely wasn't looking, as I've burned too much "fun money" lately on other "must haves". It...

Gents - I've been on the look out for a model 30 snubby for a good while and lately, a 19 round butt snubby. When nice blued revolvers present themselves at the wrong time, you still have to check them out - am I wrong? The older gentleman who has been taking care of my mother in law for...

Gents - Looking to buy a blued model 19, round butt with the 2.5" bbl. Looking for nice condition - not worried about box, papers, certain dash model, WO/ RR, correct grips, etc. Condition is foremost - will be a range and occasional carry gun. On the opposite end of things, I'd also consider...

I inherited, several years back, this revolver, that I immediately thought was a model 34. It was/is in near new condition and appears to have never been fired. It has a nice matte type of bluing, unlike some later more polished, blued S&W revolvers I own. I wiped it down and placed it in the...

Gents, I've managed to luck into what appear to be 3 NOS S&W triggers and 2 used hammers, which were in a small box, with a group of mostly reloading stuff I bought several years ago. My question(s) are more about the triggers. 2 are .400 in width, with one smooth and one grooved. The last is...
