That's a shooter/collector question. As a shooter, between 18 and 48 any dash, I consider how often will I will shoot it. Ammo cost for the 48 discourages a high round count. If your primary purpose for a rimfire revolver is casual plinking or transition training to a center fire CM, go for...

My serious rimfire revolvers are a 6" 48-2 and a 4" 63 no dash. Years ago I shot my best friends 18 quite a bit. The .22 CM has slowly worked it's way to the top of my "gotta get me one" list. When I find mine, it won't be going anywhere.

I've had a 58 since the early 80s, and picked up a 6" No Dash 57 a few years ago. Everyone needs at least 1.

Beautiful examples guys! I really regret a 3" 625 I let go in the early 90s.

Try Ergo's Delta grip. The J frame round butt answer for MY big ol' hands. They are strange looking and Glock ugly, but they turned my Js into great shooters.

Though I don't see BFI listed, close BF prefixes show as 1990. Others may have more specific information.

I cant answer your question, but can assure you that a 3" RB HB M13 will make you very happy.

Welcome from Northern IL. "First Change" just means that your revolver incorporates the first engineering change (product impovement) after S&Ws original Hand Ejector (swing out cylinder) design dating from the late 1800s. I believe that change included adding the cylinder latch. Others with...

About 10 years ago, after years of searching, I found a 3" M13. Soon after, I foolishly sold my 4". Last year I replaced it. Believe me, the one I sold long ago brought less than the one I bought last year. There's no rule against having two.

First, you need rubber grips that fit your hands. While S&W Target grips are more comfortable than Magnas, at least for me, nothing beats rubber for soaking up recoil. I shoot mostly reduced velocity target loads in .357 and .41, but with the right grips 50 rounds of magnums in either caliber...

Sounds like some form of 686 for you. I have 7 Smith .357s: 1 J, 1 N, 2 Ls & 3 Ks. I don't "need" that many, but I love them all. I prefer the blue finish but my stainless models get more range time. My understanding is that if you stick with heavy bullets, the old school K frames are fine...

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

I had a pair of the .36 Navy arms imports in the early 80s, while under the influence of Josey Wales. Big smelly fun. We fought "duels" with them. 2 guys side by side, 10 rards from 2 bowling pins, muzzles up. On a verbal command we'd open fire. First pin down won. Go home and watch a western.

When I carry a semiautomatic there is always a round chambered. I have learned something valuable in every class I've ever taken, but force on force training has been the most eye opening for me. I practice regularly with a like minded local group. I train whenever I have the opportunity...

I have read about those, but was unaware of a US made batch. Let us know how it shoots.

Nice! Congrats. It usually takes me multiple attempts on GB to find what I'm looking for at a price I'm willing to pay.

If you have more than you need, and still crave another... Well, that's YOUR personal definition of collectibles. For me it's 4" square butt hand ejectors. Where does collecting end and addiction begin?

Holster wear happens with leather too, just not as fast. I love kydex. Low maintenance, adjustable tension and it will never stretch. I have leather holsters for my 6" revolvers. I use them for hunting & range practice, not repetetive drills from the holster. Though I occasionally carry 3" &...

You need as many as you think you need, but FIRST, a 58 by all means! I have a 6" 57 ND and a 58. Neither will ever leave here, but the 58 goes to the range more often.

Moon clips are worth the trouble. They are faster and less "fidly" than speedloaders, which won't work with acp brass anyway. In my experience the only factory pistol ammo you can buy anywhere close to the price of reloads is 9mm FMJ, and then only if you are buying it in bulk. All other...
