I would love one of these. Unfortunately not available where I live6906
I carried one 30 years ago as a rookie as an off-duty companion to my 5946 duty gun. I've been casually looking for one to satisfy my nostalgia but didn't want to pay the going rate for 3rd Gen. Smiths in good shape. Was able to snag this one for $300.
Already have a new set of grips on the way to spruce it up and a couple of extra magazines ordered.

Already have a new set of grips and Wolff springs on the way to spruce it up and a couple of extra magazines ordered.

Nice! Eddystone?I ran across an M1917 today, made in September 1918.View attachment 1163428
That is sharp!It arrived/transferred today. It's in better shape than I expected. Zero wear & only a couple small freckles from being stored I suspect. I'll try it at the range later this week.View attachment 1164394View attachment 1164395
My story too from the last 3 shows......Went to a gun show yesterday.
Money burning a hole in my pocket.
Nothing worth bringing home.
Not sure...I wondered about those. My old 6906 was an earlier version (stainless trigger/hammer rather than the MIM parts of the last models) and didn't have those. I thought maybe they were production numbers (ala S&W revolvers) to keep parts together during their trip down the production line. I searched images of 6906's and noticed on the later models that some have the numbers (all the ones I saw with the numbers started with either A or C), while some don't.Nice!
Think those are property numbers on the RH side? Might have been a Dept. Issue gun itself in a former life.
.44mag is what got me into reloading. I realized really quick that if I wanted to spend range time with the big bores I would need to make my own ammo.Taurus Raging Hunter .44 magnum. I really love it. Except for the price of ammo. View attachment 1168059
Yes. It has an inspector's cartouche with OGEK in it. As I understand it, it was inspected at the Ogden Utah Armory by Elmer Keith.Nice! Eddystone?
Nice A3!
