Post your S&W pics here to show off Semi Autos or Revolvers

[Maximo]

Here is my M&P and My Sigma 9VE.

the Model 19-4 4" .357 Magnum revolver. Blue Steel, this one made in 1979



one of the best revolvers ever made. Model 17-3 K22 .22 LR revolver.



The next is a semi Auto model 52 that uses the .38 special flush wad cutter round. A very accurate pistol.

Where's all the big S & W roll marks?

[reflection01]

Where's all the big S & W roll marks?

I got rid of them and the front serrations - look at the slide carefully and you will notice a definitive Browning Hi-Power like cut on it (where the serrations used to be). it is modified functionally and cosmetically.

serration and SW logo removed
EGW waffer bushing cut to the profile of the slide
Barrel cut to the length of the bushing and re-crowned
STI modular trigger
S and A one piece magwell - polished and dehorned
all internal parts replaced
C and S 4.5lb trigger group
Wilson bullet proof thumb safety and slide stop
Wilson firing pin block

[Charlie]

Oh yeah, I see. I think that looks great. I've got a Springy that I would love to lose the front serations on. Where can one get that done and what kinda' money are we looking at? (it's stainless).

the cost wasn't that much - it's done with a machine. with the cut and the refinish should not run more than eighty to hundred bucks. you need to check with a reputable gun shop who employs a locally reputable gun smith. the smith should be able to tell you whether he/she has any access to a machine shop that can handle such a project. if not, there are a number of well known custom shops that can handle that project. good luck.

[Charlie]

We don't have anybody local that can do anything like that (pretty rural). I'll check around on the internet since I have to send it off anyway. Thanks for the info.

The S&W J frame was designed to take the extra length of the 38 Special Cartridge in the S&W Small frame revolvers and was first introduced around 1952. Be fore this if you wanted a small frame 38 it came only in the 38 S&W also known as .38 Short & Whimpy. The J became so popular that in 1961 all early I frame guns were given the J frame.

A pre model 36 3" 38 Special Probably made around 1955.




A 22/32 kit gun model 34-1 made around 1965 Prior to 1961 these had the smaller I frame.

My S&W Model 29:



This gun started out with a 6 1/2" barrel, was returned to S&W for the endurance package installation and fitted with an 8 3/8" full lug barrel. My gunsmith, Bob Mason, cut the 8 3/8" back to a handier 6". This gun has over 15,000 rounds fired through it.
