LOL, I was just siting here with my coffee and my little no dash 36 wonder why I don't use this little beauty. Nice 37 too, love that look.

I've never heard of a Model 292...can you provide more details? It looks like it has a Bodyguard-type configuration, but there is no slot for the hammer.

Thanks,

Dave

Kahr K9 9MM upstairs, Kimber Elite Carry downstairs, and a speed six in the kitchen, I never want to be too far from safety

 

[Andy Taylor]

Currently a 6.5" M624 on my side of the bed and a 6" M10-5 on the wifes side of the bed.

 

[HEADKNOCKER]

Double-O-Dave I believe Revolver-King meant Model 242 as I see a 7 shot 38 spl L Frame Centennial..
The only other revolver S&W made that looks like that is a Model 296 which is a 5 shot 44spl..
I also note that His Titainium cylinder has been cut for 686+ Moon clips.. Plus I see a Big dot nightsight & CTC Grips..
Great Pic of a Great carry Piece..

The Gun I have closest to were I sleep currently is a Beretta92FS with a 3" 686 sitting right beside it.. Just In Case!!

RK and DOD,

I think the model number is actually 242. I hadn't heard of it before either, though I knew about the 296, which is a similarly hammerless .44 special (five shots, like the fabled 696).

In these titanium models alone, the "hump" completely encloses the hammer. They resemble the Bodyguard style, but they are functionally DAO Centennials.

RK, is the moonclip feature original with your gun, or is that the result of after-sale smithing?

Edited to add: Headknocker, you got there a minute before me. Thanks for the additional observations about this interesting L-frame. I think I may want one.

On my side, a 329PD with 230g 429421HP's.
On wife's side, 629-1 with same boolit.

 

[S&W-Keeper]

Mine vary, most of the time it is a 4" 64.

 

[Culina]

Glock 23 with 13 rounds of Remington's 165gr Goldensaber's, and a spare magazine on the holster

Don't worry, there is also a 624 close at hand

Nice thing about a nightstand gun is that size and weight is pretty irrelevant, as opposed to a carry weapon.

Mine has varied, from 1911s, to a 627, to a Bond Arms Derringer loaded with 410 3" 00 buckshot, to the current favorite, an FN Five-seveN 5.7x28.....20 rounds of sound and fury and not a lot of sheetrock/innocent-bystander penetration.

 

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

Whatever I've been carrying. Lately, that has been a Model 12.

 

[RedBerens]

Lately I have a 681 loaded with Federal +P Nyclad 158gr LSWCHP and two reloads of Remington 158gr SJHP magnums.

+1 only in my case it has been a Model 10-6 with 158 grn SWC +p

 

[Notime2]

(If I hadn't sold ALL my GUNS!)
Wintertime, Heavily dressed bad guy, it would be a 22-4 45acp...easier to wield than a 12gauge shotgun. It is duck hunting season isn't it?

Springfield Armory GI .45. No bells, no whistles, just like it came from WWII...I even replaced the grips with GI plastic. I keep it loaded with Speer Lawman 200 gr. HP.

Headknocker and DC Wilson:

Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware of the L frame models and configurations.

Regards,

Dave

sawed off double barrel 10 guage with buckshot and a colt 1911 in 45acp.

 

[Sportsterguy]

A 1990 SA Standard worked over by my retired Coast Guard Gunners Mate friend with Ranger 230 gr. JHP's, no round in chamber. Reason is for safety as my grandaughter cannot cycle the slide and I want to be awake and aware if and when trouble comes. Also a 870 riot loaded to the hilt with OO. no round in chamber. Cell phone a must also.

A 3" 657 in the living room with 210 gr. Speer Gold Dot's.

Also a alarm system to assist my 85 lb. American Bulldog buddy Bruno. We sleep VERY secure at night!

Merry Christmas All!

The moon clip conversion was a after market that I had done. I also have a Mossberg 590 tactical 9 round shot gun in my bedroom closet. the 242 is for the wife when I am at the firehouse.

There are two. Top drawer has a 3 inch S&W M-13 and the bottom drawer has a Colt 1991 A1 Commander w/extra magazine.
