I got this holster and was wondering if anyone thought this was a legitimately marked fbi holster or something else? I think it is likely from someone in the northwest for their off duty gun, but honestly I don't know. I can't find much out on old fbi snubbies or holsters so I figured I would...

I know that they did use .357s but not a lot of concrete information on it. I heard s&w model 28s and Colt Troopers were both used. I figured someone might have found one or know what they used and if any were ever surplused. Thank you very much for your knowledge.

I did do a public records request, though nothing was found. Mainly due to age tho I didn't fully discount it but I am not surprised if it was a personally owned weapon. Did they not issue anything smaller than 4 in as I know CHP even issued a model 60 on rare occasions as I've seen 2. I do plan...

Funny side note I was bidding on that same gun and gave up as I was saving to move

I am in my mid 20s, I got started in high school when I really wanted a beretta m9 that was a gun used in a video game I liked. With s&w my start was I really wanted a colt cobra, but they were all above msrp for years so when I was 21, so I got a m360j instead. I thought the Japanese police...

I was wondering if anyone knew if WSP Washington State Patrol issued model 64s in the 1970s and if so would the box have any kind of clue? It was sold by a guy in Washington State who did sell some guns that were definitely LE issued and some had documentation. Information I was provided below...

You by chance know anything about the crpd markings? I've only seen 2 others

I shoot both but I'll get some 125 grain ammo to try. If it has issues then send to s&w, if it dosent then it was fine from get go or or the dept had it fixed in house. Would it detract from any "collector" value if I had them fix it? Do they just replace the cylinder with a new one or what? Thanks.

I'm 99% sure Beverly Hills CA.

So I just got a BHPD s&w 681 and it dosent have a M above the cylinder. I bought this as a gun I will shoot, but not heavily as it is BHPD marked Lockup seems tight and I assume if it was a issue BHPD would have sent the gun back to s&w (unless the A22 is not a inspector mark and a recall fix...

I just was confused because I thought they could only provide shipment records with the records they had based on their FAQs but it looks like they can for all guns s&w

This is why I assume as its under the FAQ"What years does the S&WHF have records for? 1920 through 1967. What do the S&WHF's records consist of? The records from 1920 through 1946 contain correspondence, invoices, and miscellaneous documents; records from 1947-1967 contain only invoices...

The website says they only have records until 1967, but I have seen some of the fbi s&w 10mms with factory letters. Is there somewhere else that does historical letters after 1967, or are there some exceptions? I ask as I do have some s&w pistols (crpd model 60 and bhpd 681 .357) I would like to...

In oregon but moving to Texas in a few months by San Antonio. I'm not against shipping or paying a pro but eventually I think I might try to learn myself but I don't wana f up my carry backup revolver or family one lol

So should I just do the rebound spring if I don't pay a professional to maintain reliability? I think the 686 I'll pay to have done because it's a family heirloom but a snub I might just do the spring and call it good? I do want to learn some basic stuff but after the move I already have enough...

Has anyone done both? I think for a snub I'll do tk customs. Though my grandfathers 686-4 plus he gave me I am not sure if the basic at tk customs would be better or the s&w combat revolver package for that. Does anyone with experience I With both have thoughts? Also I know I wouldn't be doing...

So it seems like TK customs for ccw package for snubs and master revolver package from s&w for something like the 686? Or any other recommendations on where?

I have a few s&w revolvers (686 plus, 60, etc) and I was wondering if there was any known reputable buisness that do trigger work (more smooth and preferable a trigger pull in double action around 9 pounds to 11?). Would it be better to do it to a new production s&w over one of my older ones or...

To a degree yes. I'm in my 20s and I generally collect ww1 to cold war era firearms (some moderns too but much lower). Ww1 I'm about completely priced out of what I want. Ww2 CMP is my only hope. For classic revolvers I'm getting priced out really fast. I really like guns with a history, like...

I'm in my 20s and have collected surplus guns. It's gotten worse over the years. Honestly there's some bucketlist guns I'm just priced out of and won't pay the price. It motivated me to get my bucket list guns I can afford out of the way lol
