Let's see some S&W revolvers.

I'll start the discussion with a pre model 27, 8 3/8" barrel with a call bead front sight.

My favorite one, a Lew Horton M29.

686+...

Model 67. I am told that a stainless rear sight is rare. Maybe a replacement before I got it. miles

396 NG.

My newest: 29-5 5" Classic 44 Magnum.

This one went to a good home earlier this year to fund a custom project. M57 no dash 41 Magnum, S-prefix, high polish blue. I kinda regret selling it because few M57's I've seen have that level of finish.

A sub-$300 Model 19-3.

22lr Kit Gun:

M624 with Kurac walnuts and a Tyler T-grip:

M58 S-prefix, high polish blue. Kinda regret selling this one too. I put a set of Kurac grips on it for this picture:

Pre-29 44 Magnum. 1958 production wearing Kurac grips.

M24-3 Lew Horton in Kurac grips. Nice little gun, but I didn't feel the magic in the 3" barrel.

M25 no dash 45 ACP:

M27-3 3.5"



Nice mirror polish on the side-plate:

Family picture: M624, M27-3, M25:

M27 no dash with Elk stags by Patrick Grashorn.

M25-5 that I stupidly sold. Oh, to be 24 again

SF Police Scofield

The original..... .44 Magnum Pre-29 5 screw

I have a correct black screwdriver for that gun!

Want my address?

Send me a PM,what are they worth now? Better you have in that box,than in my toolbox. Nice gun! I miss mine!

If S&W would have made THAT revolver during the heyday of revolvers in police service, they'd be twice as big as they are today. Even if they made it as late as the 1980's they still would have sold a jillion of them.

I don't have a photo handy, but my S&W 616 10 shot 4" is not just my favorite S&W, it's my favorite handgun.

Roy Jinks claimed that 85% of the guns Smith and Wesson made, never get shot. Not the case with mine...

My Combat Masterpiece from 1954:

The other side...

A 631 32 Mag kit gun. I understand that they are kind of scarce:

A 60-4 38 Special. My most used revolver and likely my most accurate revolver.

Put a lot of rounds through this 66 this last summer and really enjoy it.

A 629-3

this one makes a decent potato digger

Nothing fancy,...just an old police trade in that was in a pile down at Bud's,..round butt Model 10 HB,.. $220, a dab of cold blue here and there,...some Ahrends cocobolo finger groove grips,..shoots to point of aim at 15 yards with a 160 grain LBT-WFN doing 1100 fps. Another one of my favorite sub $300 S&W's

Bought this Mid 70's Model 17 for $385 a few years ago.

I'll trade you my wife for that pistol....she is one of a kind (please don't let her read this )

PennDog

$235 off of Gunbroker.

A model 66 and a Model 19...plus a Tore-ass for comparison

$250 out the door at Bud's.

$175 from some old dude that was packin' it around a gunshow a few years ago.

Here are some I'm fond of:

Model 57 no dash, 8 3/8", Kurac stocks


Model 57 no dash, 4", with cut down factory stocks


Model 27-2, 5", with cut down factory stocks

$350,.Bud's,..where else?



I'm a man of simple pleasures. K frame .38's and I frame 32's are very nice simple pleasures.

I'm afraid that my days of buying them for pocket change has come to an end, however.

P-7

Those are some nice old Smith's Bristoe.

The little I frame .32's from the 20's are my favorites. Very tiny little revolvers,..they feel toylike in your hand.

A J frame feels bulky compared to them.

I've got a couple of them that are very crisp. Obviously, they're not powerhouses, but you can get 950 fps out of a 100 grain double end wadcutter, which would seem to put them in at *least* the same category as .380 hardball.

,...fun little revolvers.

It's a shame that people have started asking so much money for them.

The most I've paid for an old .32 revolver is $300,..and that was for a very decent old Police Positive made in 1020.

The two I frame Smith .32's cost me $175 and $225.

Hard to find them in decent condition for that today.

A six inch 19 and a six inch 17 that like strays showed up on my door step this summer.

Sometimes ya gotta keep the strays...

...we tried hard not to....

A couple of P&R'd 629's.





A 5" P&R'd nickel "Classic".

Model 57

I owned a near-mint Police Positive briefly. It was just a cute little gun that I totally impulse-bought. Some other guy needed it worse than me.

This will sound strange, but I like the camo Pachmayers on the 686. I remember when they first came out. It was before I'd ever owned a 629. I thought they would just be the bee's knees on that particular gun for a "survival pistol". Throwback Thursday, I reckon.

Pre model 25 with non relieved target stocks:


Nickel Pre 32:

Non-Registered magnum from 1940 in very minty shape. Stocks by Keith Brown. Factory-ordered humped-back hammer and King sights.

Mine is a 3 1/2" Model 27 ,Nickel Plated,Call Bead front sight w/tyler grip adapter on original magna grips. It was a special order from my Father on my Highschool graduation many many years ago. It has been back to factory and been renickeled. Can't bring myself to fire it with the new nickel.

When Shrapnel posted his 3" 686 7 shot 357, I thought dang - I gotta have one of those. Then I had to change out the front sight for one I could see. Of course then I had to buy a bullet mould, and so on...

I started years ago with a 357 but have shot nothing but 45 Colt single actions for years. This has been a fun change of pace with the 170 gr Keith...

Pair of 38-44s. Transitional 4" heavy duty 1947 production with numbered magnas. Post war short action 6.5" outdoorsman built in 53' with some kind of thumb rest stocks that I like the feel of but hate the looks. It's okay though a bud of mine recently gave me a really nice suede lined flap holster marked "Outdoorsman" that he bought for a K22, turned out it was for an N frame. The flap hides the grips so no one will see them:).

Beautiful Smiths everyone.

I'll add a few....and like Oregon45, I too have an addiction for them!

A trio of 657 no dashers:


A pair of model 36 "Chief's Special Targets", 3" is a 1975 vintage, the 2" a 1966 vintage;

A first year (1964) 57 4" .41:


A pair of 22 mags: 650 3", and a nickel 51 3.5":


A 25-7 45LC 5", and a nickel 58 .41:


Some 4" 629 .44s...2 no dashers, and one each of -2, -3, & -4. The -2 is a 1989 vintage "Mountain Revolver" with the pencil barrel and round butt grip frames:


The elusive 631 4" .32 mag "Kit Gun":

there are some seriously friggen nice guns in these posts. i would like to get all of them in the middle of my living room floor and just drop a shoulder and roll in them.

Winner, winner, chickin dinner....

Man this post is going to be horrible on my bank account - I had no idea that half of these(or more).....drooling badly right now - NICE revolvers guys!!

PennDog

Here's a non-catalogued M68 in .38 Special, produced for the LAPD back in the '80's. I use it for NRA revolver bullseye matches nowadays. Patridge front sight was added by the factory awhile back; action was tuned by Harry Davis, LAPD Armorer extraordinaire.
Bob

Well I added one to the herd yesterday:



Perhaps even:
Early K22 K1XXX

New Model #3 in 44 Russian.

'51 K38 with Herrett Troopers.
Bob

Early Postwar, Five Screw, M&P:

Because a man can not have too many snubbies

1909 TripleLock


3rd Model hand ejector .44 Spl.

Nice. I agree. I've got a bunch of snubbies, too.

In 1997 got a 1988 S&W 29-4 44 mag like new in box at a gun store for $200.
It had been on consignment for one minute.
Back then it was worth $400 anywhere.
Now it is worth more like $800.

I could put the original grips on for the pic, but I didn't.

My pick for best N frame.

Scored a new set of stag grips for my Outdoorsman at a gunshow over the weekend.
Just need a TylerT to go with them now. Already have the Keith 173 mold and the Thompson 358156hp for Skeeter loads.

Very nice find and combo.

Nice 38.

Good thing it's an N-Frame. The .38 Special can be hell on a K-Frame.

Much like those Rock Island 45 autos that Bricktop said were as soft as chocolate...Beware.

38/44 folks, quite a bit different than run-of-the-mill .38's.

TheKid:
Slick looking Outdoorsman 'Model of 1950'. I'm not huge on N frames that have the shorter post war action. Here's an early Outdoorsman:

That's a beauty. Nice picture, too.

PS When S&W first came out with these, Colt started advertizing that their Army Special .38/Official Police could handle anything the Outdoorsman or Heavy Duty could, having been built on Colt's largest frame size.

Very nice! I've let two .38-44's slip through my fingers.

I like the N-frame, too. Here's a 27-2 that's been rebarreled (S&W put a 6" on it years ago) and then tuned by Gino at S&W. It's my "shooter grade" 27. Stocks are Herrett's from the old Custom Shop.
Bob

Snuck an HR in there


Lvs me some round butts...

Alukban,

Second one down, is that a lanyard ring hole and a Wonder Sight?

This is one of the best threads that has been on The Campfire. Thanks for posting.

RS

Yes, on a 1917

The Wondersight has a lot of elevation and is thus very amenable to near-archery velocity bunny loads

Are those backwards loaded?

Alukban,

Is it a commercial 1917?

I don't see any signs of a refinish and it is very clean. Story behind it?

I'm aware of that.

My 1917 is a reblued Brazilian contract. Got it pretty cheap, and it shoots and looks great. Mechanically nice, too. Cool guns.

Hot loaded .38 Special, stepping on the heels of Magnum.

Heck, make one now without that key lock and I'd be on it in a second.

That's unbelievable. I bet the seller was pissed off.

I'm going shopping with you.

Wow! Forty-six years prior to the Norman Conquest!

1955, 5 screw, S serial #, pre-28 Highway Patrolman

Made sometime in the 30's, but I forget the exact year.

Is that an M1917?

Here's my Model 36......

That's a great configuration for a 36. You get the benefit of the longer barrel, but it's still a very easy belt carry. The aftermarket grips negate the drawback (in terms of shooting) of the tiny grip frame, too.

Yeah, those Hogue grips made a world of difference in how I shoot it. That factory grip is tiny.

I like the j-frame Hogue woods, too....

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:

A couple of very nice J-Frames you have there. Nicely set up, too. I'm also a fan of the Hogue wood grips on a J-Frame.

Here's a great gun (5" M&P) from, I think, '36. Excellent shooter with factory wadcutters and lead 158 grain ball.
Bob

Dirty Harry? Nah Mod 57

Sweet pre-war! 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.

The most handsome, best balanced, best shooting gun of the bunch...

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.

29-2 and a Model 14:

I got a Nickel 29-2 but the only digital I have of it is a video of the wife shooting it.

If you send it to me I will take some nice photographs of it for you.



Travis

WOW, what a nice 29-2. Where did you get that beauty???

you're talking about the gun, right?

Gougers R' Us.



Travis

Correct.




Travis

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

Naw, it's a 38-44. George seemed to think neither of us knew what they were so I posted a pic of mine.

Very old American in 44 RF.

Didn't know you had one. Nice.

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.

Two fav's from my collection, 29-2 and the nickle 57

The second handgun I purchased, back in '78.



Another favorite. Only use AR brass and the Keith 250 gr SWC.

I want to see some holster wear,chipped grips and girls...

Your killing me man. Those are both my 2 dream S&W's!!!!! My family is young yet so gun money is hard to come by but eventually...... The first firearm i ever fell in love with was Model 29 4" a friends Dad had. He would let me shoot it whenever i wanted as long as i brought ammo. I own a Talo 629 3" right now and it's my fav. I also have a 66 no dash that is ludicrously accurate with berry's 158 RN's in .38 trim. Also have a model 49 Nickel that has a factory box from the 60's that the box literally looks like it was made yesterday. I LOVE S&W revolvers. If you cut me i bleed S&W blue. But my little ones have priority. i used to have quite a few but have sold them off to pay for family type things. I am at bare minimum right now and just have to be happy lusting over other peoples.

Nothing says "Hands Up MF'er" like a county mountie with this:



I trust this has sufficient finish scratches and wear to satisfy rifles use requirement.



and the girls:

2nd model American in .44 Russian made in 1874, IIRC. Ivory grips.

boat-tail wadcutters!

Some more of my Smiths...

657 .41 & 651 .22 mag:


model 12-2 airweight .38:


2nd model .44 special 5":


Full target mod 15 .38 2":


2" mod 34 .22:


624 4" .44 spec with Grashorn elk grips:

I had a 2nd Model Hand Ejector like the one pictured at one time. It was nickel plated, as yours, and had Pearl grips. The barrel was a bit longer...mine was probably the 6 1/2" version. It was a sweet-shooting pistol with factory Remington ammo. Back in the nineties, there was not a lot of factory 44 Spec. ammo available.

I've also owned two 624's. One was the short version as you have and another was a 6 1/2" barreled model. I consider the 624's to be the best 44 Spec.'s ever made.

Eye candy. Very nice.

There's just something about a 4" N frame S&W that just looks SOOOO right!!

Model 30-1, 3" barrel w/ Badger walnut grips. Also have the matching original magnas.

Outstanding Pic...

Too funny! well done
Is that a condom in the wrapper?
I would expect such a post from Deflave, you should be ashamed.

I'm down to just J frames;
60-15, .38 special, 30-1 .32 long, 36 no dash .38 special.

30 and 36 grips are original, the ones on the 60 are uggo, but comfy.

A .32 WCF, a .38 Terrier, M&P Target, and a Second Model .44 HE

Love that M&P Target!
Bob

Just traded for this one today...1966 27-2...has a little wear but very nice set of grips...

Do you know what those grips are?

....I "think" they are Keith Brown Cokes...or am I mistaken...

Bob

If they are, they'll be marked as such on the inside of the panels.

[quote=desertoakie]Some more of my Smiths...

624 4" .44 spec with Grashorn elk grips:



That's some good looking Smiths you've got there.

Yep. They do not look like Kieth's grips to me.

No clue whose they are but the fit and finish is top end...so top end that when the screw is removed they don't come off...

When I have a little more time I'll try...

The screw is very different in that it is slotted at both ends and both the screw and the threaded end cap come out...so unlike Smith grips that one can tap on the screw head to pop off the opposite side this one can not be removed that way...

Bob

Just one...

supercrewd, if you are gonna have only one, that's a nice one to have. Nice lookin pistola.

Look like repro grips found on some of the newer square butt classics or some handmade ones.

Thanks for the link!

Have some pre-war stuff here needing grips!

S&W 35 22/32 Target with an extra .22 Magnum cylinder from a Model 51. Just got the stocks off ebay yesterday...Herretts Custom Shooting Star...$122.50....$31.00 delivered.

Isn't tha a 357, not a 329. It says 41 mag on the barrel.

..think you are correct....

Nice to see another .41 Cultist out there....

Bob

..ok BULL...what are they all...very nice collection...

Bob

OOPS you are correct. I also had a 329

"had" combined with 329 is a good thing....

You are right. Not a pleasent gun to fire with full house loads. I do have a Model 69 coming though!

A S&W 17 and a 19, ignore the Mark1 that snuck in the picture.

The only S&W I still have.

Top one is a Model 19 that has been around a while.



This little 38 belonged to my Grandad and has seen better days, but still gets a place of respect in the vault.

I'll play:

One I wasn't smart enough to keep:



5-screw K22



an accurate 44

and the full lug family - top left a 5" 629 (lock), top right a 5" 629 (pre-lock), bottom left a 5" 610 no dash, and bottom right the 629 Classic 6�" previously pictured.

RJM, you certainly have a pile of fine Smiths.. Beautiful..

Ok, I admit it. I like S&W revolvers, especially N Frames.

Not the prettiest, but I like my 627 5" Performance Center 8 shot better every time I shoot it. Sorry, no pictures.

Whose grips are on the top gun that got away? (Been there and done that)

Man...I only made it to page 9 and I need a cigarette.

Lots of nice S&W's here!!

Mine belonged to a Houston cop, came with box, wood grips, and a can full of hot reloads:

Nice 686 and DeVille.

I told Mini he could have my model 14 when he could kill with my model 14.

Good-bye model 14:

my 686 2.5" grips suck

My first but so far......WOW!

Should have a 5 inch 610 in my hands next week with pictures to follow.

[img]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c102/kenster99/DSCN1662_zpsoyvjpq0p.jpg[/img]
oops!,one is a single shot!sorry.

Just send 'em to me. I'll dispose of them properly.

Sorry for the late reply IIRC the laminated wood grips were a factory S&W grip. Ditto the Hogues, with S&W logos.

My brother has the same revo in .41 mag. I've shot it with full power loads, and while frisky, it's not horrible to shoot.

The Scandium models start with 3, the 41 mags end in 57, so it's a Model 357. Kinda like the Scandium .44 mag is the 329. Consistent, but confusing Probably why they discontinued them.

Model 15 that's mismarked Mod 10, and a Belgian proof marked 3" Mod 60 no dash with Herrett Shooting Ace grips.

I have a little 642 Airweight also but this is what I carry a LOT off duty. 2 1/2" 19

I previously posted my M17-6 but I added another M17-3:

One for each kid.

19-4 4" Nickel w/ Roy Jinks design cut away targets that were only made for a short time.

Model 610 no dash, 5 inch 10mm:

...that looks like a shooter....

Top is 625-4, 5-inch, chambered 45LC. Came with rubber Hogues. Curiously, the general consensus is -4's didn't come in 45LC, so this might be a conversion. Then again, an acquaintance who collects Smiths offered to look it over and concluded it looked factory to him and not to discount the possibility, he'd seen all sorts of rarities over the years, though not this one. So then I emailed S&W the serial # asking the same question, and the reply was "we did make those in 45LC." Who knows. Have shot some silly groups with that gun, though.

Bottom is 625-6 MG chambered 45LC. Came with ACE grips that seem to have never been off the gun. The JM's fit me better and I like that they don't grab under a jacket.

Old school 38 S&W. Round butt, 4" barrel. Never seen another.

Couple more...



60-4, and one of those "I" Frame snubbies.

Nice Baby Chief. I have the square butt frame that goes on your 4" above. It has a 2" barrel, haven't seen too many more like it either. It's a M36 and I carry it every day, shoots like you wouldn't believe just not sure why it's a square butt.

Just nice stuff!

Minty '51 K38 with a set of Herrett's Troopers. I have the original high-horn magnas. My favorite 6" .38 with factory wadcutters.
