Is the alloy frame just a bad idea? How often do they crack? I'm looking at some snubs and can't remember all the ins & outs. Please cast your pearls of wisdom in my general direction. 😁

I'm not looking for a mint 1917 holster, just an original in good working condition. This means it would still have the toe plug with the lanyard loop and the cartouche readable.

Any thoughts? Good, bad, indifferent? I have been wanting a 6 shot 38 special snubbie and I found one at a decent price. I would rather have a 10-2 to 10-5 just because those were made earlier, but the 10-9 was made in 1988 so it should be okay. What say you? Truth be told I'd rather have an HE...

I took off the rubbers and put on the only other N frame grips I have on hand. Cleaned it some, but will do a better job after I buy some mother's mag polish tomorrow. Serial # N733656. Before: After: All in all, I'm tickled pink with the condition and the out the door price of $820...

For those that like the long barrels tell me about them. I don't have one but I want one badly. For general shooting and maybe hunting. I think I'm going to want the 3T version. Give me the pros and cons please. I like this one.

I am stoked!! All I need is the lanyard ring and clean some lead out of the barrel. It was languishing on GB with no bids so I placed the minimum bid and she's mine for under $900. Can anyone place the date?

I have a pre model 31 with aftermarket fake ivory grips. I would like some wood S&W types. This is a square butt model. Thanks!

Won this in an auction not knowing if the grips are MOP or fake. Can't say I care all that much if they're not. Nice little 32 revolver that came with a box with no markings.

And I like it. It has been used but not abused. I shot 5 or 6 cylinders and everything works like it should. I'll clean it up and polish it some with some flitz and it might look better. Shoots like a dream and I'm already looking for a 4". Serial number is in N44XXX.

32 S&W Long S&W HE revolvers seen to be trending up in prices at least on GB. Apparently other guys are also thinking they're pretty neat and until recently, a little undervalued. It could be that I am now looking for better condition and those have always been more costly. What are your thoughts?

I got all of my pre WWII DA revolvers out last week and took some pictures. I hope y'all enjoy them. Edit: I've only been at this for a little over a year and there's a few more I'm looking for. 44 Spcl & 38 Spcl 32WCF PIMP guns! 32 Long HEs plus a lone HE post WWII 1947 (?) bottom...

I won a nice 28-2 today for under $700 with shipping & tax. While it's not pristine, I think it's in pretty good condition since I plan on shooting the crap out of it. I do like the grips but didn't know what grips came on it. Service grips are not that hard to find. There weren't any pictures...

I have several I frames and I really like them. 3 HEs & 1 pre model 30. The model 30 had the improved I frame. So, what's the difference/change?

Just picked up this 5" barrel M&P 38 special. What I know: looks good, might be refinished, internals are clean, no rust or corrosion. Releasing the cylinder is tight as it appears the rod is not pushing forward enough for a clean release. Shutting the cylinder is also tight. Also, what are the...

I got into HE revolvers last year and have acquired a few good ones and some in well used condition.

It's a 21-4. I'm trying to figure out if it's a Lew Horton revolver. Serial number is pictured before. There isn't a S&W trademark on the display either.

This is the first new S&W (re: lock & MIM) I have even considered buying. The price was decent and I've been wanting a W&K 44 special, but they are a little out of my price range. It's nickel with odd colored grips. I will probably put Altamounts on it when I get it in hand. Pros & cons? Do...

I got the bug about 6 months ago and so far I have accumulated 3 -32 Longs, 2- 32-20's & a 44 Spcl. This isn't going to stop is it? :confused: :D

These are pictures from the auction site. It says made 1931 and to me, it looks in pretty good shape for a 94 year old revolver. The only bad thing is someone drilled a hole in the butt for a lanyard ring then removed said lanyard ring. I think it's okay for $701.00! What say you?

I am assuming that if the revolver says 38 Special on the barrel, it is okay to shoot standard 38 special in it. If the barrel says 38 S&W CTG, then it would be the shorter 38, correct? I am looking at a 1905 M&P and the barrel has the 38 Special ctg marking. I am fairly new to the older S&W...
