    S&W M10 family photo

    Just had one of these completely apart to fix a weak bolt spring. Not the easiest DA revolver action I've had apart and back together, but it works now and the bolt drops into the cylinder notches as it should. Anyways, i had them all out and I've never taken a photo of my M10's together, so...

    10-5 trigger stuck in frame

    I'm trying to get at the bolt and bolt spring for a s&w 10-5 to correct a problem with the bolt skipping notches. Right now I've got it down to the trigger and bolt. It's my first time into the guts of a S&W, I've only had to open up Colts. I have followed the YouTube instructions, I'm at the...

    Registered Magnum price. Windfall or weathervane?

    I'll say outright, I was expecting this gun to go for at least double the hammer price. Its a nice all original gun with box and has some rare features. I didn't bid because I didn't think this gun would be anywhere near my price range. It still isn't, but its a lot closer than I thought it...

    Royal Hong Kong Police S&W 10-7

    Here's another one that came out of gun jail this week. An RHKP surplus S&W 10-7. The RHKP carried M10's for a few decades before they were worn enough that they decided to order replacements. Once the replacement M10's arrived the RHKP decided nah, we are going to use Glocks. So the majority of...

    $600 Winchester 1894 SRC

    Ironically enough I found this while I was proving the point on another thread that there are still affordable old Winchesters out there that anybody can access. Found on Gunsinternational.com, this uncleaned right out of the box as I received it, except for the replaced stock screw. 1894...

    Divine intervention in Sin City: New S&W .44mag

    What a bleepshow, Last week I went on a much deserved vacation to Vegas with friends, catch a few shows with friends, spend some disposable income on something other than guns. Well dang, lucky I prepaid for every event we planned on going to, all rooms, fees, and booked a place within walking...

    NOS Unicorn Colt.

    I posted about this a while ago, and it just came in. Seems this was sitting in the attic of a small lgs somewhere until they shut down and cleared out inventory, then it made its way to me. New and still in the box, Colt DS-II, as it rolled off the factory floor. Very rare 4" barrel. The DS-II...

    Honey hole strikes again with a Colt.

    I finally got the backorder of brass that I've been waiting on so I've been feeling saucy about .32-20's. The more I shoot the .32-20 the more I like it. So when I was at one of my online honey holes clearing a layaway, I took a little time to browse the inventory and I found this for $600...

    Well, Turn the lights off on Wa. State.

    This was signed into law this last week. Just made the rounds and talked with the LGS's. Every single one of them will be either shutting down or is in hiatus with the anticipation of shutting down thanks to Wa.'s new anti gun laws pertaining to FFL's. I can squeak through a few more transfers...

    Turnbull S&W M15-8

    Finally got to see the S&W heritage that I bid on, the auction pictures were washed out and you couldn't see colors or patterns at all. I have yet to see a Turnbull finished gun that I didn't like though. When I got to see this one in person it didn't disappoint.

    Reasons for keeping "safe queens"?

    First off, I get that to many people the term doesn't apply, everything is meant to, and will be shot. There are people who are also very meticulous and can shoot a gun without putting much, if any visible wear on it. But there are those, and im admittedly in this group, who for whatever reason...

    I'm tapped out. But here's what I'd buy if I wasn't.

    Mods, my apologies if this breaks any rules, I have no affiliation with anything I list. I see a lot of things go by that are great deals that I wish I could afford, but alas due to other commitments, cannot. So, I thought it would be fun to start a thread on all the gun deals that I, and...

    Stole a heritage series S&W, show us yours.

    And I am officially tapping out for the month on revolvers. This one makes three and I wasn't planning on getting another one, but I've always wanted one of these and couldn't resist the price. I don't know a whole lot about the Heritage series, other than they were a limited performance center...

    Colt revolver collectors are weird.

    I threw a $1200 bid down on this 5% finish Colt SAA that's loose with a rough bore. I thought that was a darn good bid for what amounts to a parts gun. Nope. Hammered down at $1850. https://www.gunauction.com/buy/17332595 I also put a bid down on this 1924 Colt Officers Model 38 for $550...

    Very strange experience, and a nice S&W.

    Last week I bought a box of pistol boxes, arriving today while I was at work. Also Today I received an email that I unexpectedly won a Hong Kong police/customs S&W M10 for cheap via online auction. Set a $450 bid last week and got the invoice today out of the blue. Nice. So I got home in a...

    Lipstick on a pig.

    I've got a Colt Detective Special that, according to Colt was made in 1980. It identifies as an Agent because at some point someone screwed an Agent barrel on it, but its still a steel frame gun that I'm sure Colt would letter as a Detective Special. As far as it goes its not in bad shape, but...

    Yay or Nay on a NIB 4" Colt DS-II?

    My spying eyes have found this for sale. Unfortunately I know nothing about these, despite owning a Detective special and being a fan. From what I can find, this was the last gasp of the Detective Special, made for only a few years in the late '90's. Most were 2", a few were in 3", and very rare...
