Hand Ejector 2nd Model Thank you all for the great information. I inspected the revolver and this is what I found. The numbers on the barrel and the cylinder are 15829 which matches the butt serial numbers. Yeah! The number 8009 is found on the yoke and the frame where the yoke attaches. With...

Gun Show Purchase .44 Cal. Hand Ejector 2nd Model I’m not a revolver collector but I couldn’t resist bring this handgun home from a local Gun Show. I believe it is a .44 Special Hand Ejector 2nd Model, Serial #15829*, 6.5” inch barrel, presentation grips(?), no ejector shroud and shipped in...

I acquired factory S&W Display case in 2005 and never used it. It has remained in a climate controlled environment under cover. The cabinet is made out of plexi-glass. Inside the cabinet are two rotating columns that can display nine handguns each. One column appears set up for revolvers and...

To all members: I am looking for FBI 1076, THB9153, my original service pistol. Please check your pistols and let me know if you locate this weapon. Thanks, dmc8163

I have a NIB box (and unfired) S&W 4054. I plan on selling it but have little to indicates its value. I understand that it is one of 154. Can anyone advise me as to the current value? Thank you, dmc8163

BTW, if a slide has the civilian caution statement referring to the instruction manual it is a civilian version 1076. Period. Assuming of course that the slide has not been replaced at some point.

Correction. Many FBI 1076s were shipped with straight #1 grips. I have a handful in my collection. Next most common were the #2 Palmswell grips. Least common are the #3 Arched grips. All FBI 1076s had the mag disconnect disabled. There are other LE agencies that insisted that the mag disconnect...

No worries. It's actually a good question. Is there a stamp on a PC FBI 1076 that distinguishes it as a PC assembled pistol? The other person that could answer that question is Paul Liebenberg of Pistol Dynamics in Florida. He was the last known owner of PC FBI 1076 Serial #TFP3355. This was the...

The only person I know that might be able to answer the unique inspection stamp on PC 1076s on this forum is WESMAN. Is anyone in contact with him?

I don't know if the PC 1076s had a special stamp. Other than the one I was issued in 1993 and turned in to the Gun Vault in 1998 I have never seen one up close. Theoretically they should have all been destroyed. But it is likely that a few made it into public hands. E.g., unissued or defective...

These equipment receipts and booklets are all for Performance Center FBI 1076s issued to Agents in May 1993. The FBI received approx. 2,500of these pistols and not all of them were issued. Most Agents turned in the Sig 226s they had been issued when their original 1076s were recalled by the Gun...

mikeruns, it must have been wonderful to go through the S&W school. You write that you assembled ten 1006s for the FBI contract. Is this a typo? The FBI received 1076s not 1006s. What I find most interesting is that apparently S&W allowed "students" (no offense implied) to assemble FBI contract...

I should address the issue of the restrictions on Agents carrying personally owned weapons. In the "olden" days Agents could carry a wide variety of POWs as long as they were on the Bureau approved POW list. Several different manufacturers were included. Then, as budget austerity became a...

Sigp220.45, bless you for setting the record straight. I was already drafting a response to the inaccurate nonsense when I reached yours. Saved me a lot of time. It seems the myths will never die. Thank you, D

rednichols, Also based on experience I couldn't agree with you more. Despite volumes of government contracting regulations it is still possible, perhaps inevitable, that the players on both sides game the system. It infuriates me. I wait with baited breath for the FBI's selection but I deem it a...

Shawn, that you for taking the time and making the effort to analyze the new RFP. That has saved the rest of us a serious amount of time. However, I take serious issue with your implication in the first post that S&W was not at fault in the demise of the FBI 1076. I have spent years researching...

My response its a little late to say the least. I have experienced a malfunctioning decock lever on several of my 1076s. The reason was always the same. The lever must engage the pawl correctly. If it doesn't you get the non functioning lever. Anything that impacts the the lever assembly, such...

Congrats Jetpilot007. Contact me off the forum re info on your pistol. Remember, I'm still looking for my service pistol THB9153. D

Thank you flagman1776. I don't know how I missed it. I appreciate your response. D

I reviewed this thread after being shown a Model 56 by the owner of a local gun shop. He knew it was a very rare revolver and would not put a price on it. This thread concluded in 2012. Does anyone know of a public sale of a Model 56 since 2012? This revolver was in remarkable condition but no...
