    Model 33-1 4"

    Yesterday I visited a favorite gun shop to pick up some 1076 magazines for a couple of fellow forum members. As soon as the owner saw me, he said, I've got something for you. Priced at $699 plus tax, I didn't try to negotiate. He has treated me very well on other guns and accessories, plus this...

    A couple of "desirable pieces"

    I stopped by a favorite gun shop yesterday afternoon and saw this nice pair. The full size 945, I already have the stainless version. The 52-2 I kind of always wanted one, but don't really need to start a new caliber in the collection. Both guns are in terrific condition. The 52 says with box...

    New 686-7 Mountain Gun

    Sunday is typically the day that I go to the range. There is a gun shop that is open, and on the way, there. I stopped in just because I could. I did not see anything to get excited about. As I was walking towards the exit, I stopped to ask the owner if he had received any of the Mountain Guns...

    M36-11 Range Report

    Happy Independence Day! I started my fireworks a little early. I am most happy with my recent purchase. As I mentioned in a previous post, I think S&W did a good job on my example. Here are the results. All 60 rounds were fired in double action. 55 shots were at 7 yards, 5 shots at the tree were...

    Model 36 -11 Classic

    I picked this up yesterday. I purchased it as a used firearm. It however appears to be unfired and virtually like new. I think S&W did a good job on this one, in terms of fitment and function. The only flaws I could see are the buff marks are visible on the side plate when held at an angle...

    S&W Holster Identification

    I purchased a holster today thinking it would be for a J frame snub. I tried to see if my M63 2" would fit, no dice. The holster is black leather, RH, with retention trap. Numbers/letter stamped on the back of the holster are B22 52.

    New Model 36 Classic No Lock

    I saw one this past Friday. It looked very nice, actually like new and unfired, but it was in the used gun case and priced well under MSRP. I was impressed by the bright bluing. Fit and function appeared to be good too. What's the word on the street by those that already have one? I also see...

    Stainless CS9D

    Saw this one in a local gun store a couple of weeks ago, priced at $450.00. This afternoon, I took a shot that it would still be there, and it was. Assuming that they don't have a large profit margin on it, I asked if they could do $450 OTD and they agreed. Gun and one magazine only.

    Two tone CS40

    I purchased this on GB this week. Credit to the FFL there. He shipped it the day after the sale, CA to CT. My FFL received it Thursday; I picked it up this morning. Price was good too. $496.28 total after fees, shipping and tax. Question for those knowledgeable in the CS series. I also have my...

    1996 Shorty 45

    I added this new member to the family today. This also completed the subcategory collection of shorties in 9mm, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP. I probably paid too much for it ($1717.60) all together, but it was the only one I had seen in the last 14 years. Also, the seller was only 14 miles from my home.

    Got lucky yesterday

    I went to an area gun show yesterday. It was so disappointing that I resorted to checking out a few area gun stores. Here's where the good luck came about. One of them had this nickel model 13 3" and a 20% off sale on all used handguns. It and I walked out the door for $765.68. I gave it a try...

    Model 29 no dash 6 1/2''

    Yesterday I visited one of my favorite area gun shops. On display is one of the finest M29's I've ever seen. It appears as if it could have come from a time capsule. Truely, a flawless museum grade piece. It comes with an LOA and a presentation case that is still wrapped in foam. I asked the...

    .32 Regulation Police (Prewar)?

    Would the .32 Regulation Police revolver, in the 500,000-serial number range, have shipped in the maroon ""display or patent" style of box? I am a bit confused because I'm not sure the gun that I saw was either a .32 hand ejector in the 50,000 serial number range or as stated above. At any rate...

It cost me $707.00 in total after shipping, tax, and transfer fee, on my end. I took it to the range last Sunday and fired 50 rounds. It's a...

    .38 Military & Police Model of 1905 4” Target

    I am seeking the opinions of those who are knowledgeable of this model. I am visiting my dad in Florida and I spotted this at a local gun store. Front sight is stamped Lyman on the left side. The tubular top of the blade seems to be bored or hollow as if a bead may be missing. The rear...
