Just starting to get into the S&W's bought a few out of a friends estate he only had 137 pistols to chose from so it was tough, that's where a few of the Colts came from also. Coming for C-mas or New Years, don't know when they are going to ship a 1980 N Frame Model 520 in .357 only 3000 made for NYSP and a 610-3 in 10mm or .40SW, 6" 629 in .44 mag. :dance: Happy New Year

Here is my pocket pistol, a 1950's S&W Chief Special or model 36, I think. It came from a local guy that retired from the FBI in the 80's. The Pachmyers are on it because the kids wanted to shoot it on thanksgiving and I didn't want any drops. He had the original round butt grips and the wooden target grips with his name, FBI, and a number written on the inside included in a box. Regretfully he left us before I was able to get any real history, if only guns could talk.....

Good looking wheel gun, brother. As old as that gun is, I'd wager that trigger is butter smooth.

What happened to Colt revolvers? I remember them being the big deal for awhile, nearly replacing the marlin 30-30 for white tail where I'm from.
Then BAM, they just sort of vanished.

Still have the jitters for a S&W 500.

Cool! I've got an S&W M 27 8 3/8 Nickel 3Ts that I picked up new back in '76. Love the thing. It's huge!

I bought it because the Dirty Harry craze was in full swing, but never did get the shoulder rig. These days it's a safe queen unless I take it to the range (rarely).

I carried an S&W M 66-2 4" for years. Still got it, but switched to a Sig when I got my CHP. El Kid has an M66 too (his is a 66-1 in 6"). For serious handgun shooting (when we want to hit something at a distance) we prefer a revolver.

Always wanted an S&W Kit gun (M 17?), but I missed that wagon. Maybe some day.
