Just to try to help you pin down the date a bit better. I just received the factory letter today on my 5" with a serial number in the high 31,000's. It says the gun was shipped to Wolf & Klarr on 29 June 1928. Paul

It's SKU #:080-608-138. Paul

I got one of the first J frame plugs. Never been sorry I did it. Looks great and removes a possible failure point, what's not to like? Paul

I received an e-mail from Smith about the model 40-1 my wife bought me last year. It contained a link to a survey so I went and filled it in. When I came to the question about why I chose the particular model I did I replied "It was one of the very few (if not only) Smith & Wessons still being...

I've posted this photo before. One of the new "classics", 40-1 in nickel. Paul

Here's my M-60 with one of John's plugs. Paul

If I remember correctly, Daniel Boone named his rifle "Tick Licker." None of mine have names. Paul

The only parts of the ILS that remains after installation of the plug is the fork and it's spring. This holds the lock in place and serves the same function for the plug. It's held in place pretty solidly, I don't think it would be a problem. I believe most (all) of the problems have been...

Not the greatest pic, but here's my recently acquired 44 Hand Ejector third model wearing a pair of Patrick's beautiful Elk bone grips. Paul

Unfortunately I've never had to make this choice. But when I thought about your question I said to myself "They all have serial numbers, how many have registration numbers?" I think it kinda makes the choice obvious. Just my opinion and it's worth every penny you paid for it. Paul

Yep, she makes a lot of sense. Too bad she has announced that she won't be seeking another term to the Texas House of Representatives. There has been some speculation that she might run for Governor, but I think she denied this. Paul

I received the factory letter for the K22. The SCSW 3rd edition puts the serial number in 1949, it actually shipped 09 August 1950 to M&H Sporting Goods in Philadelphia. Another case of a finished revolver sitting in the vault for some time prior to shipment, I guess. As to the barrel Mr...

Don't we still have the option to meet the inspectors at their office with the bound book, or have the rules changed? Would we need to bring all the guns as well? I've never been inspected yet, (I'm due for renewal in six months) but the local office is a 200 mile round trip so that wouldn't...

You didn't get hurt. I picked up an 87B for the same price last year, got the case it was in, too. Paul

I can't speak to what S&W does, but when I worked for American Derringer the standard test fire was two rounds in each chamber for a total of four rounds. Paul

Patrick, The N frame, square butt, bone stocks arrived today. They are absolutely beautiful, and fit like a glove. Thanks, Paul

Sammie, I purchased some parts from Mr. Chicoine a couple of weeks ago. Paul

How things have changed. My high school had a 50 foot rimfire range in the basement. They didn't have to ask me if my family owned guns, I was on the school's rifle team. Paul

Boyd, Got the 3rd model 44HE today, very nice. Just a note to let everyone know, Boyd received my money order on Friday and to make sure it didn't get stuck in some Fedex hub over the long weekend, he went out of his way to get the gun shipped out the very same day and even paid extra for...

Patrick, E-mail incoming. Paul
