Just brought the new baby home!

Picked up this sweet Model 24-3 last week and am so happy. Comes with box, paperwork, even the original warranty card! If this gun has shot over a box of ammo I'd be stunned, thats how good it looks all over.
Wasn't sure if I was going to take it to the range, but a wiser gentleman than myself asked why I'd marry a pretty girl if I wasn't going to sleep with her?
Had a point, and I'm off to the range this weekend!

Wow. How nice is that!

Very nice revolver. I personally don't believe in safe queens. I buy guns to shoot them.

I couldn't have put it better myself...it's a gorgeous gun, and you can sit around and admire it all day, but it's a lot more fun to shoot it

AWESOME....simply ...AWESOME!
Especially love the tapered barrel and partridge front sight.

Even in the Lew Horton special snubs the 24-3 looks and feels so much nicer than its magnum sibling.....IMHO

PS...Make sure to save your brass.

Real beauty. Looking for your range report.

Horses were made to ride not look at.

If you had the M24-3 that was issued to J. Edgar Hoover it might be a "looker".

I was/am still undergoing the same dilemma. I have a NIB, never fired, nickel M57 with a six inch barrel. Bought in 1974 and locked away until I purchased it.

With the price of Smiths these days it is tempting to keep it unfired.

But, we may not be allowed to have them much longer so I intend to enjoy it before I have to turn it in. It has the sweetest action of any Smith and Wesson I own.

Outstanding. That was a great find. Congratulations. It is really nice to find a nice gun that you have been searching for.

Enjoy.
