That it do MOONDAWG, that it do. Whenever I look at it I wonder what kinds of stories it could tell.


Maybe about that night Satchmo shot up the ceiling in the bar...

Very nice collection of revolvers and leather. Thanks for sharing.

Pre Model 14. Serial# K164277. Sadly just had to replace the original barrel because the forcing cone cracked, but the new barrel is sound and since this gun has no more collector value it will be a home defense/target shooting gun. Will be getting rid of the Pach's soon. Haven't decided what to do with the old barrel--maybe make a pencil holder out of it.

M&Ps, the cornerstone of Smith & Wesson. What fantastic history!

M&Ps, the cornerstone of Smith & Wesson. What fantastic history!

Well, here's another. M&P (1905/Fourth) with a five inch barrel from the mid-1920s. S/N 544932 (mistakenly recorded on the bottom of the box as 554932). About 95% finish, with most wear on backstrap, a little at the muzzle, and some minor scratches and tiny dings here and there.

Haven't shot it yet, but will. Bore and chambers shiny and unpitted, action tight. There's a catch in the DA pull that I need to address.

Probably 1926 from the serial number; I wouldn't try to predict which month, given the company's practice of shipping out of numerical order.

First up: my favorite revolver of all time - a perfectly balanced Model 13 w/3" barrel.

Next: my born in 1961 unfired Model 10 w/4" HB.

Here's my Model 19-3 w/4" barrel and 3Ts. Also has 1970s version of illuminated sights

Here's my Model 19-4 w/4" barrel and 3Ts.

38 M&P Fourth Change, Shipped May 24 1919 to Shapliegh Hardware Co.,St Louis MO.

38 M&P Fourth Change, Shipped March 23, 1929 to George F. Herold Co.,New York City, NY Shippment was for 25 units and came with black hard rubber round butt grips. If anyone has that type of grip for sale please contact me.

Hi Muddyboot;

How close is your 1919 revolver to this one, serial number 2961XX?

I sure wished I'd known you needed correct style grips for your 1929 round butt M&P. I have a set from a super clean 1930s M&P snub that was confiscated by law enforcement and unfortunately disassembled for parts. One is broken with a missing section. It probably was carelessly broken when the revolver was in custody or disassembled. What a shame. The other grip is very clean and sharp though. It would look good on your revolver. You'd be half way there if you had it. Perhaps you could find a broken set with an opposite good grip. If you want it just let me know and I'll send it along.

Well I have been so busy, that I haven't posted on this forum in more than a year. Nothing like a K-frame thread to wake me up:

 

[Davwingman]

Here is my latest, new to me, K22 which dates to 1947. This piece has seen very little use & lotsa love. It is probably about 99% new.
