    New 610, little disappointed

    Yes, my bad for not doing a better job of inspection before purchase. Just assumed that a factory fresh revolver should be trouble free. I will say that the 610 is billed as a hunting/defense revolver. For me hunting with a revolver involves a slow, deliberate single action pull while sitting in...

    New 610, little disappointed

    Got the word that my new 6.5" 610 had arrived at my dealer. So I get it home and get a better look at things. First thing I notice how heavy the turn line is. A quick inspection of the cylinder stop/bolt reveals a very rough finish to the top radius. The overall finish to the surface of the...

    Mod 41 w/revolver sights

    The pic on top right of page 279 in the STD Catalog shows what I think are the sights I'm asking about. Not a very good picture for detail of sight.

    Mod 41 w/revolver sights

    Question about seeing a couple model 41s with revolver sights. When were these made and how many were made? I've seen both 5.5 and 7" inch barrels with them.

    Help identify custom grips

    After doing more online searching using Charles Daly and Kassnar I was able to find some older pics of similar grips. Apparently not made any longer. Thank you again to all who replied and helped identify these grips. Regards, Mike

    Help identify custom grips

    I just received a decent model 15, 1971 manufacture in a trade for some old cameras. It is wearing these grips. Nicely fit and finished and I like the color and contour. I believe I have seen similar grips before but cannot find anything searching online. Thanks for any help. Seems I can only...

    Cylinder stop polishing

    To reduce the severity of cylinder turn lines I have for many years polished the contact surface of the cylinder stop. After removing the stop I lightly remove the tool marks from the top surface with a sweeping motion to maintain the radius and keep from introducing flat spots with 600 grit...

    617-4 light strike

    The strain screw was the first thing I checked after the first cylinder. Made sure it hadn't been backed out to light pull. Pretty sure it's the firing pin length. Hope I can get one without sending back to S&W.

    617-4 light strike

    Just picked up a 6" 617-4 this past weekend at OGCA here in Ohio. Had time to run a couple cylinders this afternoon. Two cylinders and four FTFs. Very small dimples in rims. Mainspring is full power. Firing pin has very little protrusion above frame. Guessing .020" or less. Will Smith&Wesson...
