Smith & Wesson target revolver - 82 years old

[paplinker]

First off, that is one beautiful M&P Target, and having a birth year gun is always a special kick. M&P Targets are a favorite of mine, only have one with a humpback hammer.

The grips on paplinkers gun are original Ropers, and a rather unique set made with an integral trigger stop built into the left panel. Was not a particularly great idea but Walter Roper has to be credited with trying new things.

Keith certainly is an authority!
Not to thread drift but here is the other side

I have two Sanderson sets that have this feature also

Beautiful old revolver. The workmanship that is clearly evident in the stocks is amazing.

Here is mine in .32-20 probably a little older than the OP's, still shoots just fine.

Mine dates 1919 about 1,000 guns after heat treating started. A whole different feel than my K38 Target Masterpiece and fun to shoot.
