Picked up a very nice Model 12 today!!

[vegasgunhand]

I picked up this model 12 in excellent condition for $250.00. I think I did well. Locks up very nice, and very little holster wear.

Based on those photos I'd have to agree with you. Good get.

Excellent deal on a sweet ol flat latch

Hey Jesse James, nice diamond stocked Mod-12. Dont like hot food.

Don't lose the stocks. Regular K frame stocks don't fit the M12.

Looks great, sir - I think! Your photos are about the tiniest I've seen ... I didn't know about the grip panel differences. Since it couldn't be rusted underneath the panels I didn't even pull them on mine.

Nice gun, excellent price. Enjoy.

Very cool classic at a great price. You are way ahead of the game with that one.

Nice find and a great deal. Is it a no dash?

It actually is not stamped model 12, so I believe it is an M&P Airweight, as it has a screw in front of the trigger guard, but the cylinder is not aluminum.

That's even better. You stole that gun.

Definitely, the kind of deal we'd all like to get!
Great score!

I didn't even know they made the airweight frames before the 12.... Wow. Learn something new all the time around here.

Very nice model 12.
S&W's most under rated revolver..IMHO.
This model was packed by many of the old
time Detectives I worked with.
My 1963 vintage.

Anyone have a ball park idea what this is worth?

Fantastic deal. The revolver looks great.

I never realized this

Now I am going to have to go home tonight and look at my Airweight's grips, 1953 vintage here

Not that I really have any intentions of changing the grips, or even carrying this one for that matter

 

[Narragansett]

I will trade you

Art Doc,
Where does this comment come from?

When I got home tonight I pulled out my 1953 Airweight 38 M&P (pre Model 12 for some folks)

I compared the Airweight 38 M&P's grips (numbered to the revolver) to a pair from a much more modern Model 65's grips and they are identical in shape and size.

Is it possible that you were thinking of the Centennials when compared to other J-frames and not the Model 12?
