[butchloc]

OK just for nostalgia's sake. How much did your first S&W revolver cost. and what was it. If i remember right my first was a K38 6" that cost $81.00

 

[ColdBlueSteel]

I paid for my first time

Not much though. A pretty nice Model 36, for the very nice price of $75 circa 1986.

first one cost

Police Price in Elkhart Indiana 1963. Model 37, holster, box of shells. $53.50. My father was a friend of the dealer John Hite. 45 autos at the time were $20 each by the box full. Oh well, didn't have any money then either.

 

[flagman1776]

Pinned Barrel, Recessed Chambers
S&W Service Center subsequently turned the barrel in 1 turn,
fitted smooth "combat trigger" (returned original trigger)

I still have it & it'll cost you a whole lot more to get me to part with it.

Model 10 Heavy Barrel purchased used for $75 in 1975. I think the list on new ones was $78.00 at the time.

 

[S. Hammer]

Model 10 4" skinny barrel. Former Casselberry, FL P.D. issue gun. $100 in 1983.

 

[Tom K]

My first S&W was a 1917 - actually a Brazillian 1937 - bought in April 1986 for $225. That was a bit high for the time, but it was in better than average condition. That's $444 in 2009 dollars. It'd be hard to find one for that today.

 

[BubbaBlades]

According to some old receipts, my first S&W and my second S&W were bought on the same date (12-31-73). These guns came from a police supply company in Hollywood, Florida (Jones Equipment). The nickel Model 29 8 3/8" was $165.86 and the Model 60 was $101.47. I don't remember which gun was purchased first because the receipts are not numbered.

I bought a 3.5 inch blue 27 from Harwood Arms in 1973. I paid $225.00 for it and had to work all summer doing part time work putting in air conditioning ducts. I still itch from the rockwool.

Later, I went crazy and paid $235 for a 27 in 1979. Inflation, inflation.
