I own a pre model 24 6.5" Model of 1950. 44 special. They have the ramped front sight and rear adjustable rear sight. I found a Pre model 21 model of 1950 for sale and it does not have the front blade and gutter military sights. That is what makes it a Military pre model 21, but the add says pre...

I keep reading about people calling Smith on a shipping date and getting a answer over the phone. Is this true? I don't need a letter if I can find out when shipped. That's all you get in a letter any way.

I'm kidding. My grand parents, and parents bought guns for hunting and it was a no name brand at a hardware store in the south. They were poor and did the best they could. To put it in perspective I am 69. Later in life they were all successful but they had no more interest in firearms since...

Well I think I explained the firearm in the title, the serial number is 77911. They were made from 1888 to 1902. Can anyone narrow down the year for me. Thanks! Can I shoot modern smokeless in it?

I am 68 heard from my grandmother years ago tell me my great grand mother When questioned if she was going out dressed like that just as young people are today she would say "No One Can Tell What You Look Like Riding A Fast Galloping Horse And That's The kind I Ride." Love that! Would have been...

Or so it is called. I find all the info I need on the Smith catalogue for the 32 but not much on the 38 chambering. My question is did the changes for the first and second and third model also include the 38 chambering at the same years? Primarily the first model 32 had a push button top...

Well it might not be odd to those that collect old revolvers, but it is to me. S&W Safety Hammerless 32 cal 1st Model Top Break. Serial # 77911. S&W catalog says 1888-1902. For first model. any way of narrowing it down?

Love it except for one thing 99% of you will never encounter. It has the bear hug grips and my pinky is hanging no where the gun. For the life of me I can not understand why revolver manufactures can't make a grip that you can fit your pinky on. My old stocks on a model 29 no problem weather...

As I get older, I am thinking about shooting my older revolvers that at least appear unfired. My question is will the 1926 M&P 38 special revolvers handle 158 grain lead nose modern ammo? Thanks!

I see a lot of older revolvers all brands with consecutive serial numbers being sold. What is the point in this? I might want one, but they are usually sold in pairs. Thanks!

I have a pre model 26 model of 1950 on the barrel. It is a 45 ACP version with factory lanyard and optional brite blue finish. Both are rare, but it has a 4 screw frame not the 5 screw. Seller and historian said they have never seen a model of 1950 with a 4 screw. Any thoughts?

I can't make up my mind on 16.5 carbine, or 20". Both Octagon barrel. I have both in other calibers but having a tough time on 357. Either will be a case hardened. Thanks!

I have a few older standard N frame stainless firearms. I do like some that are high polished. Would it wreck the value of the gun?

Looks like they were only made a couple years before they changed to a dash 1. I have several 57 no dash that are older all no dash pinned and recessed. I was not aware of the 657 no dash it is a 6" box papers, tools. Since I collect the 41 mag I could not pass it up even on Gunbroker. Not sure...

It cleared my bank today, seller says it will take 3 -5 days before it shows up in his account before he can ship my item. Is this true, never happened before. just wondering.

I have a 20" a 24" and a 28" The 28" is a 1931 competition Olympic style Winchester model 52. The kicker is it was the mac daddy back in the day and and it looks BRAND NEW I would really like to put a modern scope on it. However, I am reading that 22 runs out of steam on a 20" barrel. I have a...

As a pre model 29 collector to 29 - 2 I switched to the 629 no dash pinned and recessed. They are hard to find. I bought a stainless unfired 8 3/8 first presentation case box papers tools. Next up was a 6". Not as MINT as I would like but nice. The kicker was the 4" that took time. Found one...

Bought my first full size Ruger light weight aluminum frame. The gun seems awesome except the trigger is all loose in the non shotting position. You can freely jiggle the trigger up , down, and side to side quite a bite. I can live with it but do not have a trigger that is loose and flops around...

I saw a ad for concealed carry permit and I live in Florida and it says I qualify. No in person test or shooting. Is this true or a scam?

I have a pre 29 4 screw serial number 171927 Lettered. Dates to April 1957 shipped. I have a pre 29 5 screw serial number 167196 no letter. Would this date to 1956? (my birth year) It is hard to figure out the serial numbers in this era. What is your best guess on the 5 screw?
