    Victory Value

    Victory info Thanks Absalom. The stocks are NOS and are unnumbered. I bought it with plastic horn stocks and purchased the NOS ones from a S&W collector in CA. If I can figure out how to do it, I will post pictures.

    Victory Value

    I'm selling my Victory and need help in determining a fair selling price. I looked on Gunbroker and saw some pretty awful examples with starting bids of 600 or so. Mine is marked U.S Property G.H.D. It has a 4 inch barrel, all numbers match-barrel, frame and cylinder- and is chambered for 38...

    Model 52 questions

    Gibkekim is exactly right-start with the magazine before making any changes- spring, etc., to the pistol. I shoot the Colt equivalent of the 52- the Mid Range National Match. I've had it for 25 years and for 23 years it never fed properly. Fiddled with springs, had throat polished, etc. with no...

    Best Powder For Paper Targets

    I have found Titegroup to be an excellent powder for both .38 Spec full wadcutters and .45 ACP semi wadcutters for low velocity powder charges. It burns very cleanly. BUT-it is very caustic when it comes in contact with plastic or paint. I use a Hornady progressive that came with a polystyrene...

    V Model Find x2

    Yes- He's got the grips original to my V but put them on another V. I really don't think he cares if the grips on his V are original. I'll continue to look for another set to trade to him for the grips original to my V. Thanks for the info.

    V Model Find x2

    A friend recently gave me a S&W 4" .38 Special with plastic imitation horn grips. He's a lawyer and described it as a "drop gun"-- to be left at the scene of a crime. The finish looked like matte black spray paint. I later examined the gun more closely and saw the "V" prefix and the US Property...

    Hodgdon Titegroup Problem!

    Titegroup Powder Problems I'm a bit tardy in responding- 3 years- but I experienced the exact same problems with Titegroup only mine were a bit more complicated. First, I'm using a Hornady Progressive. The powder cylinder is made of polystyrene as far as I can tell. Second, the interior of the...

    Model 41 suppressor information

    I own an early mod 41 with the factory suppressor. The gun is perfect in all respects except that when my daughter last shot it she noticed a build up of fouling in the suppressor ribs. After spending about two hours with a dental pick, I removed a pile of lead fouling- about the equivalent of...

    S&W model 41 Lets see what you got

    My new 41 Saw all the 41 pictures and thought I'd add mine. After bouncing around the post office for a week, it was finally delivered today. Can't shoot it until the weekend but the gun feels great and is well balanced. I have been shooting the same High Standard HD Military for 50 years and...
