I only have two, both Rugers. 7 1/2" SRH with Weaver scope. 3 3/4" SBH Talo.

I won't say that I am a believer, but I can say I am not a skeptic. The reason I say this is because my best friend and hunting buddy over the last 25 years purchased a HECS suit a coupe of years ago. He absolutely swears by it. I have never had an issue with "getting close" enough hunting...

Walk away. There was more than one gun of the one you want.

While it is not on your list, I would choose my Model 70 Featherweight in .270 WSM every time. I love the rifle, love the short action, love the cartridge.

"However don't you agree that it simplifies things to call those revolvers made after 1956 by their model names? It is so much more specific and less confusing. P.S. Notice the suggested retail price for a Model 17 in 1971. I distinclty remember mine cost $125 when I bought it in 1975."...

Driftwood, you made a statement above that I feel compelled to respectfully disagree with. You stated "...gunshops often mislable a Model 17, sometimes calling it a K-22. If it has MOD 17 stamped on the frame, it is not a K-22, it is a Model 17." After S&W implemented the Model ## scheme, they...

The M frame .22 Hand Ejector did not appear until 1902. S&W first produced the .32 and .38 Hand Ejectors, chambered in .32 S&W Long and .38 S&W Special, beginning in 1896 and 1899 respectively. The .32 was built on the I frame, the .38 was built on the K frame. These two hand ejectors...

Your .32 Hand Ejector was shipped, most likely, in late 1956 or early 1957. It is built on the New I Frame model of 1953. Around the time that your gun was made, S&W issued the order to eliminate the top side plate screw. Yours still has that screw, making it a 5-screw gun. That screw was...

I don't have an actual model marked 10, so this "pre Model 10" will have to suffice. 6" barrel, shipped in March, 1948. All numbers match. Lots of fun to shoot.

I live out in the boonies. The closest gun shop is an hour away. Buying any gun locally isn't going to happen. Three years ago, I became very interested in older revolvers, so I obtained a C&R license. In the 3 years since, I have acquired 17 revolvers. Each one was shipped to my front...

I understand what you are saying. However, the S&W Hand Ejector (swing out cylinder), created in the late 1890s, is still the same basic design of the newest one that came off the production line today. Granted, the metallurgy has changed over time, and many minor modifications have occurred...

You missed one. The M frame, which was S&W's first .22 Hand Ejector. It was released after they had introduced the I frame (.32) and the K frame (.38). It is the smallest Hand Ejector frame ever made by S&W. These were produced from 1902 - 1921 in three different variations.

Just a minor point of clarification, your Model 1955 .22/32 Kit Gun Airweight became the Model 43. The Model 35 was the descendant of the Model 1953 .22/32 Target, which had a 6" barrel.

I think you did OK on the price. I do hope you realize that the Model 34 is a J-frame revolver, meaning it is smaller and lighter than the S&W K-22 Masterpiece (Model 17) revolver. Nothing wrong with smaller and lighter, but they are a tad more difficult to shoot with a high degree of...

Thank you George for showing the internet ninjas that women are capable of shooting a lot more gun than a .38 snub nose, which, by the way, is probably the single worst gun you could ever start someone off with. Your description of your granddaughter reminded me of a "little woman" I used to...

This buck was taken just a bit over a mile from my house this Fall during archery season. I think it had 56 points total.

Today, Wednesday 12/04, was opening day of the Kansas firearms deer season. Got up early and went out this morning, but saw only a group of 4 does. Went back out this evening to a different spot about a half mile from where I was at this morning. I was sitting on a high spot in a brome field...

Yes, it is a Model of 1953 .22/32 Kit Gun, built on the New I frame. It was designated "New" because the grip frame was 1/8" longer than previous models, and the screw in front of the trigger guard was eliminated. In the previous version (Improved I frame), the main spring was changed from a...

Target stocks for S&W revolvers were never numbered to the gun (with a few very rare exceptions). The only stocks numbered to a gun were the magna stocks and the older service type stocks. Period correct target stocks are as close as you can get. If you are simply changing one set of targets...
