My most frequent sidekick when bow and turkey hunting is this 4" barrel 65-2, courtesy of the Massachusetts State Police, with Herrett grips in a Roy Baker pancake: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x400/cruiser111/P1030800_zps1481d950.jpg)

Here's a great gun (5" M&P) from, I think, '36. Excellent shooter with factory wadcutters and lead 158 grain ball. Bob ![[Linked Image]](http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii27/RobertOIF2/DSC_2028_zpsc7572e98.jpg)

I've got a four inch just like it (early post-war), long action and all. I was just at the range with it the other day, in fact, and (from a supported hold, shooting single action) was having no trouble sending objects flying that were sitting on a sand hill fifty yards distant.

Alukban,
Is it a commercial 1917?
I don't see any signs of a refinish and it is very clean. Story behind it? Yes, it is. It looks to have been refinished but done very well. The lettering isn't crisp but it is not smoothed out either. It an "american" S&W - non-Brazilian  A 1917 had always been on my list and when this thing turned up with the Wonder Sight already on it last year at one of the local shops for $600, I had to get it - budget be danged. Yep, 200 gr loaded backwards and cast to only 10 BHN, going a touch over 400 fps. A really sweet shooting, very satisfying and cheap plinking load.

I believe the Brazilian Contract M1917s (M1937) were made at Smith & Wesson in the US, then exported to Brazil.

![[Linked Image]](http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m8/kiddglock/DSCN0205_zps71847375.jpg) Made sometime in the 30's, but I forget the exact year. Is that an M1917? Naw, it's a 38-44. George seemed to think neither of us knew what they were so I posted a pic of mine.

I expect you were remembering this 45 ACP that I had those same grips on briefly. It's gone down the road. It came with some bogus rubber grips on it and just didn't look right. They're replacement grips for either gun but look better than rubber. ![[Linked Image]](http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m8/kiddglock/1917001.jpg)
