So shipping doesn't determine build year, understandable. But I found a site that mentioned s191xxx for late '57 and someone else confirmed it, unless that info is up in the air also. Question: What makes these old revolvers collectible then? Is it condition? How much it was shot? I know about...

Looked at the pistol again today. It does indeed have a patridge front sight. Has the football shape relief in the grip also. I just can't afford it right now. Definately a 27 and beautiful.

Nice pistol there. The front sight is not a patridge then as it is ramped. Then I would assume I was right that it was a 5" barrel. How the hell am I going to pay for this???? Whats bottom dollar I should offer?

What is a patridge sight? Excuse my ignorance.

Would the sn be on the inside flats of the grips if they were original? Any other place that would have a s.n.? The black front sight normal? Adjustable rear sight or not? I did dry fire it while catching the hammer on my thumb and I have to say that trigger is short, smooth and sweet. Does...

I am going to say it is a 5" barrel. The smith said it was not reblued but damn that pistol looks nice. Maybe I'll go in tomorrow and put it on layaway. What is it actually worth with the 5" barrel?

The prefix is S. It is a model 27 with no dash. Original grips. The smith said what I seen was grease or oil as it wiped out. Blueing is just about mint. The front site is completely black with no orange on it. No box/papers. Price is down to $675.00. Thoughts on whether this is a collectible...

SN 191xxx model 27. Anyone have a year? The gun is really clean with very minor cylinder drag. Blueing looks immacultate but....bottom of the bore at muzzle looks like rust that is popping up. But even that area shines. Thoughts? Price is $689.00.

Nobody mentioned a springfield armory XD45 acp? I never had a ftf of any sort with mine. How do the fellas feel about the XD vs. the glock?

Well a local pawn shop has one. I cannot remember the model but I know it was .44 special. I would say 65% condition. They wanted $425 for it. I think it is too much but not sure. How worn can a piece be before it is just a shooter and not collectible anymore? Does it vary with models?, since...

Does anyone know what model s&w from the late '50s would be that was chambered in .44 special?

New member here. I just can't believe that anyone would use #0000 steel wool on a blued gun??? I know I would never ever use it on a k98 mauser. To remove light surface rust, k98 collectors typically use kroil and #000 bronze wool, which is available at brownells dot com. It takes the rust off...
