Hard to find Smiths, in shooter grade...

[GF]

My oldest "pre war" revolver (the first world war) shows wear & my newest S&W that's from the late 90's does too, they're shooter grade guns for sure.

Here's another qualifier; a K22/40 in shooter grade:

Here's my favorite gun, a Transitional 38/44 King Super Police. Sadly it has been reblued, but I still think it's pretty cool

Don't laugh. I know its a Colt but it's the only rare gun I own and yes it is most definitely shooter grade and I do shoot it quite regularly. When I take it to our local club it usually gets peoples attention.

My wife's Model of 1953 22/32 Target 22 still gets used a few times a year, even though it would still qualify as collector quality. She and the gun are the same age (60), both in outstanding shape for their age, and most definitely keepers!

Paul that HD is my very favorite gun on the Forum here that is not mine.

That old revolver speaks to me.............volumes!

Cool is right!! Is there an interesting story behind the dots on the ivory grips?

I love to take my 32 Winchester Model 1905 to the range. It is unusual with the short 5" barrel and the sound when shot is quite distinctive. Other than that, you can't beat a K22 Outdoorsman with it's trusty S&W grip adapter for plinking.

Definitely shooter grade Registered Magnum #806. Still a blast to shoot.

These two pictures I have attached are not hard to find shooter grade revolvers but are a joy to shoot.
M&P 4inch 38 special vintage 1922


Model 10-7 4 inch

 

[Toyman]

A Registered Magnum shipped to Kansas City MO. P.D. that has been refinished unknown times. A real joy to shoot with
38 special 148 grain wad cutters or 158 grain round nose.

No, sorry. I purchased them off the forum a couple of years ago & don't have any additional info on who made them. BTW, they are not ivory, just some type of bone that resembles ivory a lot. They really feel great in my hand.

My latest shooter grade. We are going to get along fine.



Circa 1975 Model 34-1

 

[jsfricks]

1952 S&W 5” Combat Masterpiece Missouri State Highway Patrol. It shoots better than I do!



And my easier to find early shooter K22 LERK-

 

[Lee Barner]

this one is my all time favorite revolver: a 1950 Military & Police .44 4". shown with a Bucheimer concealer holster it resides in time to time. the grip adapter is solid brass and unmarked. shoots great and has a butter smooth double action and crisp single action. lee

Here's my favorite old 'shooter grade', a .32WCF

 

[parkergunz]

2nd Model HE .44 spl with 5" barrel. Letters to being shipped 1933. Fun to shoot.

Shooter grade S&W British Service Revolver

I just took my S&W British Service Revolver shooting over Memorial Day weekend. I went through most of a box of Magtech .38 S&W and even fired a few rounds of Buffalo Bore .38 S&W.

My favorite shooter does not belong to me, but to an old boyhood buddy:
Smith and Wesson Model 1950 Target .45acp
