1980 All Over Again

Pair of K frames

I bought these from the estate of a dear relative. They are still like brand new. Check out the receipt from 1980. These are definitely two of my favorites.

If I could go back to 1980 and buy any S&W, I would buy a S&W 520. No doubt. It would be cheating, cause I would be a time traveller and I'd know it would be a unique revolver. But yes, a model 520.

If I could go back to 1980 I think I would buy up all the Smith & Wesson wood stocks that were thrown into the $5.00 and up buckets that every gun shop had at the time. Sell them today and make enough to but a mint registered magnum , a pre 29 and a Colt Python.

Yep, the old gun shop I started going to as a teen had 2 boxes full of factory grips from colts, smiths, and rugers..... Everybody had to have the pachmayers that were so popular then, also had boxes of holsters I'd love to dig through today.

my first S&W was a 4" 686 I purchased in 1987, if I could go to 1980 I'd probably buy a 651 w/3" barrel, for some reason I always wanted one.

Three inch Model 19s.......... both with the fixed (picture a blue Ladysmith) and adjustable sights!!!!!!!

I got 2 3" 66s in the late 80s when no one wanted a 6 shooter anymore ...$279 each....... picked up a used one about 12 years later..... the best all around carry gun!!!!!!!!!
