I just got this Model 27-3 from a local auction house.
Attached File Attached File Earlier this week, I got this Model 42 from another ARFOMer. Attached File That makes 4 new-to-me S&W revolvers in the last week and a half. Revolver month has been good to me. |

My brother and I inherited a pile of old Smifs from my father after he passed last month. A sample:
Attached File Top to bottom: M-1917 .45 ACP, post-war Military & Police .38 "pre-Model 10" circa 1948 - 52, and a Model 547 in 9mm for the cancelled French contract. Per something I recently found online by C.E. Harris on another forum, the 547s couldn't handle heavy use with Euro-spec 9mm. The Ruger Speed Sixes they replaced them would, however. The grip adapters are all from Robertson Trading Post and were installed today. They're for K/L-Frames but as you can see, fit the N-Frame 1917 OK. |

Robertson's is about 2 1/2 hours from me. I was out that way a few weeks ago and swung by their store to see if they were open to the public. Unfortunately, they aren't. I constantly see their guns on GB, so I was hoping I could stop in, look them over, and come home with one or two. I was a sad S&W addict when I found out they're closed to the public. |

I have a couple others from them as well. |

It's still Revolver Month, guys.
New to me 1982-vintage 2.75" Ruger Speed Six in .357. I bought it from Robertson Trading Post via Gunbroker. Attached File Attached File Aside from what are purported to be squadron markings, the gun is in excellent shape and appears to have been barely shot. It's very clean and the action is smooth for a Ruger. It had a set of Sile rubber grips on it which are actually meant for a Security or Service Six with a square butt. I got this set of NOS Pachmayr Compacs off eBay for under $20 shipped. They fit the gun better and feel like they were made for me. |

I picked up a no dash model 17 today. Made in 1958. It’s in beautiful condition.
I killed a couple of hours at Bass Pro last week, and they had one in the case that I fell in love with. Didn’t have time to mess with buying that one, but found this on Gunbroker. I would have preferred target stocks, but this one was too nice to pass up. Looks like it’s hardly been used. I have some target stocks coming from eBay, and I’ll keep my eyes open for a set of the correct vintage. Attached File Attached File |

Bump for Wheelgun Wednesday!
New-to-me S&W Model 1905, 4th Change M&P in .32 WCF (.32-20). I installed the Pachmayr grip adapter. Attached File The right side shows more wear. Attached File The bore and chambers are VG. The inside of the action was clean. Attached File The no-medallion grips put it as 1920s-vintage. The serial number is higher than when they started heat treating the cylinders. I don't plan to hot rod it but it's nice to know I don't need to feed it powder puff loads, either. |

Finally found a fairly reasonably priced 360pd. Slapped some old grips on it, and now we wait for the lock delete plug to arrive, then it's off to cause some nerve damage! |
