Centennial thread

[jframe]

We've done three inch k's, two inch k's, all kinds of n's and j frames too. Let's do one just for Centennials. All of them from 1952 to 1974 and all the current and recent production too. Here's my 1974 nickel Model 40 that's NIB.....Sorry, Milton, I'm still using the pic you took of it; ain't had time for no photography of my own.

It's a Sickness for sure..
That pic of the 12 step program proves it..
I hope to have a 3" 940 like that some day..
jcelect you have a nice bunch of Centennials there..
I didn't know they made a Satin Nickel 642??
As it's a stainless gun with aluminum frame??
Do you have any more info on that RARE beast?
Great pics fellas!!
One of my most favorite topics as these are real tools for carry & get used as such..
I trust my life to my two all the time..
Always 100%, Never JAM, aren't ammo finicky & are just one of the sweetest snubbys to carry ever made..
Keep your Ruger LCR, I'll take a J Frame Smith..

Hey, they all look alike! My 40 is from 1971 or 1972. Eagle secret service grips and holster from lefty lewis, "old flatfoot" here that owns bell charter oaks holster co.
Not to worry, I have the high horn grips stashed.
