ROFLMAO!!! Man, you get a 'hallelujah' for that one!

Que suerta to be sure! Tell us how difficult, or easy it is to own firearms in Spain. We'd love to know how it works there! Bienviendos!

Thanks to all!

Fellows, I hate to get simple on you, but here goes. A buddy and I got into the dry firing discussion again. So what's the real poop? Can a 29-3 be dry fired without damaging the gun, or not?

Miller's Crossing! The fellow sees his man as he enters the room then quickly ducks back out beside the door...The fellow draws a Webley Green Army (.455) and lets him have it through the wall. Plop. I think the gun from Blood Simple is a New Departure. Great movie!

This is my first modern S&W, and nickel too. I like the look, but it seems hard to keep clean. Oil creates a film that's like goo that won't go away. What are you guys doing to control that?

Oops, posted this before I saw the great answers on Miss Fires' thread. But rubber or composite stocks are O.K. with me...

I'm having trouble divining the date of mfgr. for my new 29. Here's a picture. What confuses me is the different font for the 'A' in the number. It probably means nothing, but... I have the SCOSW, and if I'm doing it right it falls between Jul. '85 and Nov. 85. Is that correct?

What? No pearl stocks?!

Thanks, guys!

In antique S&W nickel is more common in most of the models, and blued guns are sought after. Like John Traveler says, you do find some crummy looking nickeled guns, but the most pristine guns you find are usually the nickel finished kind. This after over 100 years of sitting in that sock...

I'm new at modern S&W stuff, I only have one so far. Here on the site I've heard about Coke bottle stocks, or grip panels. I've just started poking around in "The Catalogue" and have only found a little bit. Were Coke bottle stocks used only on N frames? Did they stop them all together in the...

I found a PERFORMANCE CENTER 629-7 44 MAGNUM HUNTER, which looks pretty much the gun from outer space. It looks like it could be fun. Has anyone here ever taken one for a spin?

Dang! CSI has nothing on GFF!! I've just picked up a 29-3...after that I think I'm a-feared to post anything!:o Well, maybe not. :D Super job on the pictures, Gaetan!

Exfebee; This is all very good stuff. But what I really want to know is this...what kind of wood are your grips made of? Nice job on the picture, too!

The ones I've seen are only a few thousands off from one side to the other. But this has caused previous owners to knock the front sights around to compensate. My guns are mostly antiques, however, and where I've seen this it has been on guns without adjustable sights. Plus more modern...

jcleverly76, Can you do me a favor? Take your calipers and mic the barrel thickness at the muzzle in a few places. Is it consistant all around? I've found that some barrels are off center by a bit and reading this I wonder if the factory isn't compensating by rotating the barrel a tad.

Thanks guys. The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson is on the way here now. Thanks for your input!

Hello, fellows. This is my first posting here, and I need some advice. I have a fair to middling collection, and understanding of antique Smith & Wessons, now I am interested in learning about the newer stuff. This seems like a good place to start. Mr. Neal and Mr. Jinks' book "Smith &...
