The old guns shouldn't have all the fun.

2009 Nickel 22-4

Original grips:

Vintage Jay Scott grips I whittled into something more shooter, carry, and moon clip friendly.

Carries quite nicely in a Desantis thumb break scabbard.

The new ones get little love here, so if yours looks good to you or there's a nice picture of it, let's see it.

I'm proud of my new school 627 Pro, even though it comes with the lock, MIM parts and an unconventional slab-side barrel. Some call it an abomination, but I love it and will never part with it.

A little humble compared to some of these beauties posted already, but nevertheless, my favorite N-frame of all time. I once had a 1918 built M1917, but was forced to sell it (a rather tragic story, but I had no choice) and I decided to replace it with this 22-4. I really wanted one of those case hardened versions. I've thought about sending mine to Turnbull to have mine done, but can't decide; I really like it as is :D

Its beautiful just like that. I like the case hardened look on hammers and triggers, I haven't made up my mind about case hardening on an entire gun. I am on the fence.

Your Smith, looks the way a blued Smith should look.
