The box isn't original for sure. Took a pic of the grip, not sure they are original either. Sure looks like Sept 30 1981 or 1987 to me.

Thank you all very much

I traded off a CZ 75 SP-01 for this and looking for some more info on dating it. I'd also like info of the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson that I see referenced, I wanted to know if the 4th edition was the most current and if that will give me the info I'm looking for (for past and future...

Thanks all, just wanted to make sure... I'd hate to be that guy that shot something that should have been put up. I'll run some rounds through it this weekend :)

and I don't know if I should put it in the safe and hide it or take it to the range and have a blast (pun intended). Has the letter from S&W with the history; shipped July 20th 1954 to Huey Philp Co, Dallas Texas. Records show it was shipped blued and with checkered grips (was part of a 25 unit...

This isn't the standard PX4, this is the Special Duty. Comes in it’s own Pelican case with cleaning kit, 3 different size mag releases, 3 different backstraps, 2 10 round and 1 9 round special coated mags. Speed Loader and also an extended barrel for threading with special coated internals to...

Well they both have pros and cons I suppose. II is a slide switch, on/off only, auto adjusts to brightness, have to unmount it to replace the battery (CR2032). III is a button switch that cycles between 3 brightness levels (has auto adjust also), don't have to unmount to replace battery...

I've used the cheap ones, just wastes money. About the best cheap one I've found is the eXplore Optics min max but I've replaced it with a Burris Fast Fire II on my PX4 SD. I liked the Fast Fire II so much I bought a new Fast Fire III for the TRR8. The Burris just gets on target faster for me...

Something else of note, the TRR8 weighs less than other N frame guns due to the Scandium Alloy Frame. I love mine, it's by far my favorite gun. Just got back from the range at lunch, shot a quick 100 rounds of 38's. It's just a joy to shoot, great gun!

PM sent about trade

I saw a new 686 SSR at one of the shows a couple weeks back, not sure if it was Conroe or GRB. There is a show this weekend at Reliant, probably a good chance to find one there as all the big dealers should be there.

So I have the opportunity to buy a 625-3 and pretty sure I know the answer but wanted to double check. Is it .45 ACP and 45 LC or is it one or the other?

I own a 686+ 4" and a TRR8 (627 with rails and the Scandium Alloy Frame) the 686+ is smaller but weighs a little more @ 38.9 oz whereas the TRR8 weighs in @ 35.3. I'd say I like the TRR8 better but like I said it's bigger and you can tell, the 686+ is a great shooter too. Actually I can't pick...

I have a TRR8 (the TRR8 has a removable front rail and the window through on the ejector rod), it's an "N" frame but lighter than my 686 even though the 686 is smaller. My 12 year old can shoot it no problem and until I got the smaller 686, the TRR8 was his favorite. There is less felt recoil on...

Forgot to add that my front rail was also loose. The screws are to long so I added a small piece of packing foam as a gasket. Tightened up fine with no visible abnormilties.

just saw your post and wanted to add that my TRR8 also "rattles" when i shack it. I too thought the cyclinder release was the cause but I held it open and it still has the rattle. My 686's cylinder release is also loose (I can whiggle it up and down about the same as the TRR8) but no "rattle". I...

Heya all, just stopping by to say hello and give my brief history and how I ended up here. Bought my first revolver about a year ago (Ruger Super Blackhawk) as a toy. I don't hunt and basically wanted something that had a load bang. I aslo wanted to start reloading and the Ruger came highly...
