    What about Uberti single action revolvers?

    Cimarron continues to import Uberti's and Pietta's to their own specifications. I recently purchased a US 7th Cavalry 7-1/2" SAA manufactured by Uberti to Cimmaron spec. Cimarron also offers the same spec'd pistol made by Pietta under a different SKU. Fit and finish are outstanding and the...

    I think I'm veering into obsession

    Obsession: "An idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind" I would say that you have had s&w on the mind the last couple years!!! Fine collection indeed and thanks for sharing :)

    Model 29 50th Anniversary Finish Question

    Hi all. I was hoping someone could shed some light on the factory finish on the Model 29-10 50th anniversary revolver. I admittedly don’t have a lot of experience with S&W’s blued revolvers (other than I love them), so my question is whether or not the blued finish on the 50th anniversary model...

    .460 5" vs 460XVR

    Shooting .45 LCs from an X Frame is like shooting .22s through a S&W 617!

    Congrats on your new pistol and wow that is some story...must have challenged your patience..being so excited to receive your pistol and it being just beyond your reach! Too bad you didn't sign it up for a frequent flyer miles program..you probably would have gotten a free ticket will all the...

    Model 29 - 6-1/2" vs. 8-3/8" Barrels

    Hey guys...you voted for the 6-1/2" Model 29 and that's what I got! She's a lightly used Model 29-10 50th Anniversary manufactured in 2006. 8-3/8" 29 on the radar for next year.Thanks for your votes!

    686 v. 686 plus

    I agree with bbqbob51, "if 6 is good then 7 is better". I don't have a 686 plus model yet but it's on the radar with a 6" barrel. Makes sense that the cylinder does not have to rotate as much and possibly trigger pull is shorter in DA mode? The 7-shot cylinder is definitely cool looking also...

    Bluing Question

    There are some reported issues with bluing on new 29-10s as Bluedot37 points out and if that is the case, S&W will make it right - I've read the positive posts from people that have had their revolvers re-blued for this issue. Just unfortunate and a hassle that the gun would come that way new. I...

    686 6" cut to 5" back from gunsmith-pics

    The 5" barrel really looks good - in pleasant proportions to the frame. Looks like your gunsmith did a fine job on shortening and sight install. Very nice indeed.

    Model 29 - 6-1/2" vs. 8-3/8" Barrels

    Hi all, I'm looking to get my first Model 29. I've always been a long barrel (6"+) revolver fan and am trying to figure out which to get. Eventually I'll get both because I like them quite a bit - but which to get first as it will probably be a bit of time before I get the next one. Primary...

    Proposed Presidental Powers Threaten 2nd Am.

    I really couldn't imagine the now Republican dominated Congress to give Obama free reign to make unchecked decisions on anything as they are already working to undo his executive actions starting with Obamacare.
