Did the Model 64-3 3" Barrel Revolver ever have a pinned front ramp sight. My 2nd Edition S&W Book doesn't reflect the 64 ever being offered with a pinned front ramp sight. I am beginning to think the revolver I am looking at maybe a 4" professionally shortened to 3". The kicker is the...

I stumbled upon a 65 - 7 French Police reimport while looking around online. 3 " Barrel & I believe it is a round butt (has oversize rubber grips) & possibly a lanyard ring ? It has the lock above the thumb release. It appears to be in good condition. Comments or observations please. Thank...

1999 Ford F150 Super cab with the 4.6 V8 & Automatic. Sold at 275,000 miles (still regret it). See it on occasion in town. Probably has 325,000 or more now. Brakes once, front end rebuilt once and tires every 50,000 or so. My 2014 Ford F150 Super Crew has 47,000 miles on it now. The 5.0...

I was very leery about the first series of non Pinned Barrel Revolvers. I purchase a new Model 10 that would either skip or fail to properly "lock" ie cylinder would spin freely. Back to S & W it went...returned with the same issue on occasion ! Dealer gave me credit. Waited forever to take...

BOMAR made tons of the Top Rib with Adjustable sights back in the day IIRC. I seem to remember Jim Clark of Clark's Guns utilized them. rick

Late 2024 I purchased a Police Trade in Model 64-5 from AIM. It was bank vault tight but pretty darn dirty. Cleaned up nicely. I was curious what Agency these 64's served ? I emailed AIM but haven't received a response. FYI mine had no Department markings. AIM's website reflected that these...

Looking around today on the Smith & Wesson Website and took notice of the Classic version of the Model 27. Glanced at Gun Broker at availability & pricing. Pricing seems to be lower than for a S & W Model 28. How does the Classic stack up against the 27s from the '80s ? Thank you ! rick

I am trying to find (again) the source for M & P/Model 10 Barrels (pinned) both 5" & 6" ? There was a source other than Gun Parts/Ebay etc...also, do the 5" & 6" barrels utilize the same length extractor rod as the 4" barrels ? I know 2" & 3" barrels are hot commodities now so I hope 5" & 6"...

What is your opinion about the real possibility of a Nation wide 10 round magazine restriction ? Has me wondering about M1 Carbine & Hi-Power mags. I think Meg Gar sells reliable Browning Hi-Power mags but I don't know of any manufacturer of 10 round M1 Carbine mags. Any thoughts ? rick

I underwent a two day Nuclear Cardiac Stress test the 3rd week in September. About a week later I became sick. COVID test came back positive on October 1. Have never been so sick and I had a mild case. I am an old man with a couple risk factors. Now I am fighting the effects of COVID Brain...

Gary the stocks are the original wood...worn pretty smooth on the holstered side. The rust I am talking about is internal visible with the grips removed...thank you sir ! rick

Looking for recommendations for removing rust from a Pre Model 10. It was possibly a Police Issue. Most of the bluing is worn off one side of the cylinder after being holstered. Externally there is very little if any surface rust (light). However after removing the grips the inside of the...

Hat in hand Sir I finally dug this revolver out of the safe and sure enough it has a C in front of the serial number. C 243XXX When I logged the serial number down in my "book" I left the C off. Sir I really feel like a knucklehead...I appreciate you straightening me out. I really...

I appreciate the input...however, the 2 revolvers I was watching have climbed beyond my ability to afford. Both headed north of a grand. Oh well maybe one day. rick

Green Frog I am not planning on doing any customization at all...I am just asking for opinions about quality differences comparing my 10-5 with the newer 10-9/10-10... This thread drifted when another poster talked about spending $$$$ on customization... rick

Quality I have a 10-5 but have been watching a 10-9 & 10-10 on an auction site. I have only had 1 issue with a S&W revolver over the years. It was a first year (don't remember the dash number) Model 10 without the pinned barrel. Went back a time or two for repairs but was never right...

Well I thought my question was legit...get one on topic answer then off the rails we go...

Any troubling quality differences between a Model 10-5 and a Model 10-9 or 10-10 ? Thank you, rick
