I was in Bass Pro the other day looking at stacks of overpriced ammo collecting dust on the shelves and decided to go look at the gun cases. 99.9% of the time there are never any pre owned guns, let alone anything I’d be interested in.

Well to my surprise I see a little Smith snub in the case all alone at the end of the aisle. The associate pulls it out and said they just got it in on trade. Price was $599.

I’ve been on the prowl for a nice blued post war M&P snub to go with my excellent nickel specimen for a while now. This one will fill that gap in my collection. It has a little edge wear and the stocks aren’t great, one of the screws is a little buggered. But with my $100 birthday gift card from the in laws, I had to pick this little guy up. It will go out with me tomorrow with my new 27-8 PC for some range time. Can’t wait!!

Cheers

Lookin good. I have a similar pair, both with a little more (well, a lot) more wear: a nickel marked Detroit PD and blue marked Austin (APD). Great catch from an unlikely source.

Nice find! Sounds like tomorrow will be a good play day.

Mine is in the C127000 range, I'd probably have to say that I enjoy shooting it as much as just about any handgun I've ever owned. First time my wife shot it, she hit a gallon paint can dead center at close to 125 yards. I haven't let her shoot it since then.

Just can't pass up a nice snub nose. 3 screw, 4 screw, 5 screw.
