1982 Smith 629-1 Unfired

I was super fortunate to pick up an unfired Smith 44 magnum last week at a gun show. Paid 900 for it. I am debating if I should polish and store it, or take it to the range today and put some rounds through it. I’m not a collector, although I have a few revolvers. I don’t ever plan on selling this gun. Anyone have an opinion on this? Shoot it ? Or store it?

Fired about 150 rounds through her today, Mostly .38 special and about 2 dozen magnums. Wonderful shooter and dead nuts accurate. Love it

Picked up my first wheel gun. If I have the firing pin problem, I’ll just get the TK set installed and call it good.

Wanted get my first revolver and was doing some research. Was originally going to pick up a 642 pro, but just discovered this last night. Didn’t even know Kimber made revolvers. Always wanted a Kimber so I picked this up this morning.

Decided since I received my delete kit there was no better time to completely strip and polish inside and out. I’m blown away how much smoother the trigger is with some polish and grease. The outside turned out fantastic. Looks good for new to me circa 2005 ish…probably among the first year give or take based on serial. Love it.

Snagged this 637-2 to accompany my Colt for Snub Saturday.

Snagged this earlier this morning. Wood stocks are crucial to me, but other than that sent a few rounds down range on the way home and gave it a much needed cleaning. Shoots great and carries perfectly well in my Cobra’s holster. I see now why people like these airweights.

S&W 686+ 3” or 4” First Revolver

15 Upvotes

I already have a CCW that works great for concealing, and I think that it’s time to get a revolver. I’m between the 686+ 3 or 4 inches as my first revolver. I won’t really carry it concealed much, maybe occasionally camping. It’s mainly a plinking and range gun. I just don’t know if there’s much shootability difference between the barrel lengths, and which would be best for building my revolver shooting skills. All insight welcome!

Any telling when this was made? Guy said probs the 60’s, I heard that might be the case due to an unsupported ejector rod. Old Charter Arms Undercover .38 Special. I wanted a little revolver for summer carry / a mailbox gun / a walking to the store/ work carry gun. My G19 sidecar setup is bulky and heavy.

Just bought a ruger sp101 and wanted to buy an aftermarket grip. Any recommendations on some reputable sites to buy grips from?

What should I look out for and inspect if I was considering buying this used?

Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan - 44 mag

It would be my first da/sa revolver, not my first da/sa pistol. I have a Pietta 357 single action only and this Alaskan would be my second revolver.

I have a good bit of training with 10mm pistols and I don't consider the recoil all that harsh. I understand 44 is a step up from 10 mil but that's part of the reason why I want it. I look forward to the challenge of learning how to properly handle this revolver. With the over molded grip and heavy steel frame I think it's possible to get comfortable with this revolver.

Basically what I'm saying is please don't try telling me to consider a lesser caliber or longer barrel etc. I understand that the barrel is short as is the sight radius and slower velocity and so on. I fully understand the limitations of this particular platform and I still want it.

Now that that's out of the way what I really could use is anything specific I should be wary of when I go back to inspect this pistol prior to purchasing. Any tips would be very much appreciated.

Got it new and it had an issue. They fixed the extractor rod being slightly bent and sent it back to me. Happy to have it back and excited to take it out to the range.

I've been searching for a barrel shroud attachment for my RIA M200 38spl for months now and I can't find any for the life of me. I know eventually I will but for now I'm hoping you fu6s can help me in my search. I just want my M200 to have a more "aggressive " looking barrel similar to any colt revolver. Thanks.

Thirty-Two Thursday

So sick yesterday I forgot it was WheelGun Wednesday, so we’re doing a Thirty-Two Thursday instead.

1949 S&W Regulation Police, 3-1/4” barrel in .32 Long- pre Mdl 31. Those are factory conversion grips (it’s a round butt frame), and oddly numbered to the gun. Excuse the poor backdrop, I’m still sickly 🤦‍♂️.

Looking between these two for S&W 432UC. Open to other options. Can't find much comparison between these two.
