New to me Model 34-1

SCSW dates it to 1978-1979

In 98%+ condition just a turn ring.

2" barrel - pinned, square butt

Blue Bangor Punta box in fair condition.
Inside is pealing a bit, outside is 90%

I'm gonna shoot it.

So what's it worth?

Will post pics - PICS POSTED Please scroll down

Pretty much need the pics to come up with a price.

It is worth what you paid for it. Well done.

Wild guess....... if you are buying, it's a $400 gun; if you are selling, it's a $600 gun. So, I imagine you could consider it a $500 gun if it has a slight turn line; no scratches, dings, or buggered screws; almost perfect and matching grips; and matching box. .22 calibers seem to be particularly hot these days. But I agree, pictures would help.

thadheth - that's exactly what I paid for it. $500

I bought it from a close friend who's 80+ years old & struggling while learning how to live without a full-time job.
He finally retired this year.


Several years ago he sold me a 38-0 for $275.
So I figured I owed him from the previous deal.

Promised Pics

Here's the pics I promised.
The gun is in pristine condition.
I know it's hard to tell from the crappy photos
What can I say, I'm not a photographer.

Range trip was kinda disappointing.
Accuracy left much to be improved.

So far I tried Winchester Super-X 40 gr plated hollow point (PHP),
Winchester 36 gr PHP, & Federal Lead round nose (LRN).

Still have CCI LRN & Remington Golden bullets to try.

I have owned several S&W 34 revolvers in 2" and 4", RB/SB, blue and nickel. Not a one of them shot well with the factory magna stocks or with high speed ammo. Put a larger pair of stocks on it if you have large hands, try some standard velocity ammo, and shoot off a rest.
