Grips on Model 34 I took the grips off this model 34 revolver & discovered wood under what I believe to be faux stag (plastic) Is this common ? I have seen many plastic grips, but never plastic overlay on top of wood. Any info would be appreciated. BTW, I am impressed with how accurate this...

Factory Grips Thanks so much for the info. I will try to get some better pics posted. So I need to look for factory square "I" frame grips ? I would prefer some period correct wood factory grips

$ You needed the money ? You wanted a model 66 or 686? You lack good judgment ?

Why would the grips not being original be an asset ? Thanks in advance for your opinion and help

Model 17 & Model 41 He wanted $800 for the Model 17. It was a 1972 production year revolver. I already have a really nice Model 17 revolver and a Model 18 revolver with target grips, target trigger and target hammer so really didn't need or want the model 17 He wanted $1500 for the Model 41...

flat latch ? I figured the flat latch and 6401X serial number would put it in late 50's or early 60's, but don't really know

Thanks Any idea if it is an I frame or a J frame ? Did I pay too much? Are the nickel plated and 2 inch model 34 revolvers more or less common? I like the little revolver regardless. For a snubbie it is surprisingly accurate

I bought this Model 34 no dash at a gunshow this weekend of a whim from a niceolder gentlemen that had a rolling leather brief case with this model 34, a LNIB Model 17, a LNIB Model 41, a Colt Viper and a LNIB High Standard Victor. I need some help/info please I Paid $400 cash. No box The...

Buy All You Can Get Assuming they were functional and mechanically sounds revolvers, I would buy ALL I could get @ $150 regardless of color. Let's be honest. A 70% Model 66 is going to bring more than $300 in most places. It certainly would around my neck of the woods. Blue Book wrong on that...

Thanks Thanks so much for the information. Much appreciated

So the stocks are not original to the gun ? Thanks for the information. What would the original stocks that came with the revolver look like ? What are original and period correct S&W Model 18 stocks selling for these days ?

Couple of more pics Added a couple of more pics. Hope this helps. When was this revolver manufactured ?

I have a S&W Model 18 no dash with a 4 inch barrel and a target trigger and target hammer. I love this revolver. Very accurate. but not as accurate as my Model 17. Feels good in my hand. Several "friends" have made offers up to $750 for this revolver (I paid much less a few years ago), but I...

Really ????? So to be clear, you are saying that a 586 no dash is much better made than a 686 no dash or for that matter a 686-1 ? Please tell us how a 586 made around the same time as a 686 of the same era is superior ?

A few more

OK. I want to join in Here are a couple of mine. S&W K22 manufactured in 1952 S&W Model 18

Better buy as many as you find then If $300 to $400 is the going rate for Ruger snub nosed Six Series revolvers in your area then you would be wise to buy as many as you come across. You could easily flip them on Gunbroker for a $100 to as much as a $200 profit.

Thanks guys, I have been buying as many Ruger and S&W revolvers as I can afford over the last ten years. The S&W revolvers have a better trigger and in general shoot a bit better, but not by much and the old Ruger revolvers are just built like a tank. Ruger Six series revolvers, especially snub...

Went by my LGS yesterday and as soon as I walked in the door they say we just got a revolver traded in that they were pretty sure I would want to take a look at. I say ok, let's see it. They pull out a stainless speed six. They didn't event have a price tag on it yet. Now, I need another Ruger...
