    Model 59-opinions?

    One more thing I forgot to mention. I think the grip is relatively similar to a Beretta 92. If you find the Beretta to work for you than chances are the 59 will as well. The only difference IMO is the straight backstrap on the 59. I just got done giving mine a thorough cleaning. From the looks...

    Model 59-opinions?

    I just bought one a couple of weeks ago for $320.They wanted $350 and I had cash in hand. I did find a LNIB 659 for $400 but I don't think I could have gotten a better deal on it and they had a huge line. I think it is great,very accurate. So far a bought a new duty holster off of Ebay for $15...

    Model 59 magazines

    I just bought a model 59 at a show last week. Anybody know where I can find a deal on some mags? I found some Mecgars for $20 and some change, just wondering if there is a better deal out there.

    CAR PICTURES

    one of the many previous cars I couldn't resist posting this since someone posted their Pinto. I put this together for about $1500 about 10 years ago. Not bad 13 seconds on a budget. I had long since sold it and got these cars and sold them in the same order for the next in line. -1977 Mustang...

    469 mags

    I know there are several different models that will fit this gun but does anyone know where to get the best deals on them? They can be 12 or 15 round mags. I have been looking on several different sites and they are around $30 each. I was just hoping to find them a little cheaper. thanks

    S&W 99

    I have owned one for about 5 years. It is my nightstand gun. It is accurate and totally dependable. Mine is a 9mm and I added a QD laser on the rail. I am not overly fond of the wide opening in the rear sight but it does not seem to affect my aim. Maybe I will look into aftermarket sights one...

    One of my better deals

    I like this gun. I thought about trading it for something I was originally looking for but quickly changed my mind. I realized that I sold or traded a few that I wish I woud have kept and will not do it again. Such examples would be: Rossi 3 inch stainless 44 special traded in towards a Ruger...

    One of my better deals

    I think I got a great deal today on a S&W 469 9mm. I would say it is in 90 to 95 percent condition and does not looked to be fired much. Only 1 mag with it. It was not what I was looking for but the price was right. I got it for 175 plus transfer fee. I just tried it out and found it to be a...

    New Purchase S&W 28-2 revolver 1955 45 ACP conversion but with a problem

    I guess it may have went to an independent gunsmith, I just assumed it went to S&W due to the case it came back to me in.They told me either it would go to S$W or another gunsmith out west that they use. I do know one thing they did not make any money off of me. It was in a newer model 629 case...

    New Purchase S&W 28-2 revolver 1955 45 ACP conversion but with a problem

    Well I finally got the gun back last week but I have yet to try it out. It was sent to S&W for repair I would hate to see what that cost. It looks like S&W put a new yoke in and the barrel is now where it belongs. I will be trying it out this week. I am truly impressed with the way Cabelas...

    New Purchase S&W 28-2 revolver 1955 45 ACP conversion but with a problem

    I hope it works out ok. I now have 2 guns out for repair and it's driving me nuts. I have yet to shoot 45 acp in a revolver but I did like it in my Auto Ordnance 1911 (S&W was not making them when this was purchased).

    Hi newbie from Central PA

    New Purchase S&W 28-2 revolver 1955 45 ACP conversion but with a problem

    Well hopefully the gunsmith it is going to knows what to do. The barrel was too far to the left like it was threaded in too far. The Cabelas salesman said if they cannot repair it then I can still get store credit. For what the 25-2 models are going for, I think this will be worth the wait. Good...

    New Purchase S&W 28-2 revolver 1955 45 ACP conversion but with a problem

    Good news I just got back from Cabelas and they are sending it for repair. I had my choice of returning it or them having it fixed on their dime. They will either send it to S&W or a gunsmith in the midwest. They said it might be a few months but I think it will be worth it. I might just make...

    New Purchase S&W 28-2 revolver 1955 45 ACP conversion but with a problem

    The barrel is canted as you would say. that is why the cylinder pin does not fit into the underlug of the barrel. I do not think there is anything else that could be wrong. I just think someone did not get the barrel right and got fed up with it and kept it in the safe. The cylinder and barrel...

    New Purchase S&W 28-2 revolver 1955 45 ACP conversion but with a problem

    I will take it in to Cabelas tomorrow and see what they say. It has the proper cylinder as it came with a full moon clip and chambers 45 acp. its just the barrel is improperly positioned. the barrel and cylinder are in excellent condition, it looks like someone did the work and shot it very...
