How about a N frame snubby picture thread?

Well I managed to pick up a 3inch Smith I’ve been looking for, for a while now. She popped up locally, in Northern California no less. Here she is:

I’m terrible at taking Group Photos. But here are the 3” N Frames I’ve gathered over the past 2 years.

From looking at this several year old thread I think I saw a few 29-4 Full Lugs posted and maybe even one 29-3. I've also seen a nickel 29-4 3"er on an auction recently but not willing to pay the price. Thanks for encouraging words!
 
625-6 Lew Horton .45acp

Well, I got a chance to shoot 625-7 3" 45 Colt, and was pleasantly surprised how nice it shoots. Very nice action, and not as intimidating as I expected. I was shooting some mild 200gr Cowboy action, for my first time ever shooting 45LC.

After the range I went to the FFL just in time for my newest snub, the 625-6 .45acp to arrive!:D I'll probably be shooting the -6 more often, but who knows. The -6 came with box n papers. It was among the favorite range guns for the previous owner, and can use a good cleaning.

Glad to have both of these two N frame snubs, in my collection.

Cheers all!

I got this recently from a forum member. It's a 28-2 with a M29 cylinder and a 625 barrel then nickle plated. The cylinder is bored out for 45 Long Colt. I haven't shot it yet, unfortunately.

Work sucks.

So does it shoot .44's or .45's Doc???:D
Just kidding, I'm assuming she's a dedicated .45LC now! Beautiful caliber my friend!
 
Well, I decided to put my 625-7 back to stock, mostly. The reason for the original modifications is no longer valid.

The Meprolight night sights weren't glowing anymore, although they were still decent sights without that feature. I replaced the rear with the original white outline blade. For the front I used a bright orange insert. I seem to be able to pick it up faster than red or yellow. It's the old way of doing it with a piece of hard plastic cut and filed to fit instead of poured resin. Brownell's used to sell a kit with several different colors of plastic and a couple of files. I still have it. Some of you old timers may remember that.

The bobbed hammer was a replacement so I wouldn't mess up the original, which is now back in place.

Internally, I left the Wolff springs in since the trigger pull is very good single and double action.

I have the original wood combat grips, but I don't care for them, so the Ahrends stay on.

Photos of the gun with the modifications is posted above. Here's what it looks like now.
