Great gun Bill

How's it shoot?

Curtis...I don't know yet, but it has one of the best trigger pulls I have found on a S&W handgun.

Beautiful Doc... looks like you are comming around to my kinda guns

..lets see.. I know you have one Reg Mag, now a Pre War Outdoorsman. Life is good!

Now I just need to get me one of those Pre 29's and see what that's all about.
I think I have you pegged as a "Condition-is-everything" kinda guy. Your guns are impeccable. And you sure do go to a lot of time and effort to show them to us. I appreciate that.

This shows the superb inherent merit of S&W arms. Quality fit for a museum from birth, or ready for a life of hard service with relatively minimal maintenance. Yet the high pedigree always intact.

Your pictorial representations are every bit the equal of the arms shown, here and in your many posts.

Thanks for the show-and-tell.

Regards,

Dyson

Bill, the breadth and depth of your treasure chest never ceases to "wow" me.
Thanks again for sharing some of these.

Pre-war K22 outdoorsman are my favorite S&Ws. Best triggers tend to be the norm. IME. Regards, Byron

Doc,
A beautiful revolver. I love to shoot mine although it does not have the original box or papers.

Even though I know better, I still canot bring myself to believe that revolvers like this were sold in stores and intended to be taken out and treated like "guns".... They areally are works of art!!!!

That is a very nice example of a pre-war .22. I'd love to have that sight set up on my 38/44 pre-war outdoorsman. Larry

Thanks for the post, Bill. That's a really sweet old .22, ... it has it's own kind of charm.
