WTB Colt Bisley 1905 or later smokeless powder Any barrel length original finish prefer 32-20 or 44-40 Honest wear ok but no pitting Price commensurate with condition A shot in the dark to be sure but nothing ventured nothing gained Thanks in advance

I just purchased what I believe to be the perfect grips for my 38/44 from a forum member To quote ken miles from ford versus Ferrari I’m happy happy happy :)

I have take the journals ! The internet is useful but my appreciation for the printed word once again seduces me into adding to my library lol If anyone informs my wife there will be consequences!

Your photo of the bottom of the sight shows the slot that slides over the existing non target sight Hard to say if yours fits a colt or S&W You might try purchasing a reproduction copy of a King catalog Attaching photo

Thom has two very nice sets of grips I am purchasing one of them leaving one other set for another lucky buyer

Yes the ones in your add look like a match Both my shooting buddy and I really liked the sight picture of the round front bead aligned in the half round rear notch ! Much more natural that trying to get a square front sight even with the top and have equal space on each side

Awesome pistol…I was thinking prewar but the postwar sights are better and I like to shoot my revolvers Also amazing photography! How do you get photos to post full size instead of as thumbnails?

Here is a photo of how it arrived at my FFL

Yours looks awesome too !!! Glad you didn’t bid on it too …one other bidder drove the price up $500 but I was committed (or maybe should be committed) to taking this one home no matter what Yes original looooong action…it feels really good to me but I let a guy at the range shoot it and he...

Period correct black washer magnas not serial numbered to pistol came on this 38/44 On a 6 1/2” N frame they look and feel like a twigs on a live oak ! The grips in the photo feel really good but my model 27 deserves more than magnas too Two children only one good pair of shoes I have seen...

I just came back from the range and this one shoots as well as it looks ! It's a 1946 post war transitional long action with King mirror front sight, King round white outline rear sight and I can only assume that King also tuned the amazing trigger with gauges at 2 1/4 pounds ;) I can't put...

The back of the diamond set is cleaner I believe they are original Springfield grips I put photos of the backs together I don’t even have a K frame for the checkered grips but I was curious about them

Grips on pistol Someone messaged me and asked for photos of the grips on my 1956 pre 27 At the end of the day the grips were one of the main reasons I bought the gun ;)

Sorry Uploaded wrong photo This is the photo posted by Hoisser45 of the correct n frame grips The medallion has quite a bit of offset

Photo of back side of ivory inset grip Internet photo of non relieved target grips Internet photo of ivory triangle insert like mine

Your input is MUCH appreciated...the wood and S&W medallions appear to be identical so your comment makes perfect sense...the inlaid diamonds, however, are easier to grasp as a customization than the exquisite fine checkering... thanks again

I purchased a 5 screw pre 27 that came with smooth presentation grips which have had decorative diamonds inset into the wood...the smaller ivory diamond I have seen on grips for engraved pistols...the metal one I have never seen...anyone seen any grips like these ? I also received a set of k...

Those f-100’s are classic! I restored one and drove it for 10 years. I one upped you on bare bones . My 1965 had the original 150 straight six manual three on the tree and no chrome. Complete mechanical rebuild…blue paint …blacked out the trim….painter had a set of mag wheels in the barn. Only...

Kevin I Really like the front sight on yours ! Almost makes me want to have a Smith replace the shark fin front sight on mine. Almost. 4” barrel or less ? Gold bead on the patridge ? I never expected this many responses with such nice examples of cut barrels Dave

Ralph Very helpful! I will try to get my hands on a mid 30’s catalog. That being said I have tested the trigger pull on my 1905 on a Lyman electronic gauge and reads 2.3 pounds consistently. I am guessing that no matter how good the factory trigger a talented smith can almost always make it even...
