    Old grips on newer Smiths?

    Gunner Mike, I think you may have hit the nail on the head. :D

    Old grips on newer Smiths?

    Those grips look good too. The 686 is a K frame, right? I know a lot of people don't like new S&W revolvers because of the key lock and the MIM parts. This was my first real handgun, and it never bothered me. I never had a problem with it at all. Although the checkering on the top of the...

    Old grips on newer Smiths?

    Nice looking grips. A couple years ago I found a pair of 1917-1929 vintage S&W grips in an antique shop. I figured they were meant for a K frame gun as they didn't quite fit the N frame in the front. The back fit was just fine. They didn't quite fill out the corners of the new frame though...

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    That's great!:) Although it doesn't really help me. :scrutiny: ;) :D No really, I'm happy for you. Is the .32 the dream to shoot that most people say it is?

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    The .22 caliber PPK/Ss I've found on gunbroker are unreasonably priced (I think). The usual bidding starts at $900 and the 'buy now' price on some is $1,200. I realize there weren't as many .22s made as the .32 and .380, but c'mon.

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    That looks treacherous alright. I'm glad they've addressed it.

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    Good catch! :) I spoke on the phone to one of my local dealers yesterday and he said they have a used S&W PPK/S in .380 (just back from the recall) for $449. I think I'd rather get a post recall manufactured gun though.

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    I've seen several post recall manufactured PPKs on gunbroker, and at least one of them has sold!:what: I guess they didn't get the memo.;) I spotted a nice German (I think) PPK on gunbroker too, but the seller hasn't responded to my messages yet. If I had the cash in hand, I'd probably use...

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    HisSoldier, it's good to hear that the S&W PPK/S hasn't fallen out of favor with you. I'm on the Walther forum too and had read some of that post before. A couple weeks ago I spoke very briefly with a lady at S&W and asked her if the PPK(/S) was in production again. She said she 'thought'...

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    For some reason I didn't get a notification of the new posts. Since my last post I've considered several other guns: S&W 908S, SW99, Walther P5, etc. My exploring 9mms is for economy of shooting. Although I'm waffling back and forth, not knowing for sure what I want, I'm still interested in...

    S&W99 new purchase

    I probably should have said of the more common calibers.:o

    S&W99 new purchase

    I'm interested in these and would like more information. Are they as accurate as the P99s? What is the recoil like on the 9mm? Would you consider them a multi-role gun (range, plinker, carry, etc.)? I have a CP99 (co2 powered pellet gun) that should be pretty much the same size and feel...

    S&W's Budget 3913: The 908!

    Liontribe, that's a nice 3913! That's also an interesting knife you got there too. ;)

    S&W's Budget 3913: The 908!

    What is the balance like? and how would you rate the overall build quality?

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    Anyone?:confused: Are the edges on the blued guns as sharp as on the stainless guns?

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    That's the way I was leaning. Does the PPK recoil softer because of the wrap around grip?

    S&W PPK(/S) in my future

    Is S&W shipping the PPK(/S) again? My local dealer isn't able to locate any. Does anyone here know of any good deals?

    S&W's Budget 3913: The 908!

    I've been considering one of these too. What is the recoil like?

    Is there such a gun?

    In many of the scenes in Dr. No the Walther PP is substituted for the PPK. An oversight by the filmmakers. And yes, Professor Dent did use a suppressed 1911 as did the Three Blind Mice. Check THIS LINK.
