Where's that horse, I wanna beat it too. The 17 & 18 Smith & Wesson's are wonderful shooters. I was looking for a short barrel 617 when this model 18 came into the shop. I settled for this model 18 (or so I thought). This little guy is a dream to shoot and I'm glad I got it. I enjoy it more...

Just as an FYI, it's $300 to have a Python reblued though Colt and add around another $30-$50 for nickel. That is as long as nothing else needs to be done. They will reset the timing & check the mechanicals when the refinish is all done. They do a wonderful job. Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

I've heard this same info from my distributors in the past. They (S&W) only do special runs of certain barrels only so many times a year. Such as 4 inch 617's, 3 inch 686's, 3 inch 629's and so forth. If it's true, I can't confirm that, but the distriburors don't always have them so I'm...

I found this short barrel nickel Diamondback last year. I never see the short barrel version in nickel and I'm always looking. The nickel was not pitted or pealing at all, it's only problem was the nickel was cloudy and the bright finish would not come back. I had to send it back to Colt for a...

I'm a fan of what ever looks good and feels good. Factory or not. I'm just not a fan of rubber. Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

Need more info on that gun. What barrel length ? What finish and do you still have any of the boxes and papers ? That's still a 27-2 correct ? Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

Rarity does not equal price. Period.:eek: Just because a revolver is tough to find, does not mean the value should be higher. I can find many hard to find revolvers or guns for that matter. If they are not sought after, the price will NEVER go up. The demand & availability is where the...

It in fact is a consecutive numbers MIB pair. It is also, not for sale, so Please keep Santa away from my house. He may get shot... ha ha ha Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

788Ham, The entire run of Boa sets were made for Lew Horton in the mid 1980's. They were only made in 4 and 6 inch barrels as pictured. They are MKV frames with Python vent ribbed barrels and Royal Blue was the only finish they came in. For some reason they don't come up for sale very...

Pics of the Boa set if you guys have not seen them. Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

As far as Best, Most Valuable, and Rarest go. It's not as which one of the snakes fits what catagory above, but which sub species fits each catagory ? The Boa is one of the hardest to find and is usually that last slot for people to fill when collecting at least one of each of the snake...

It looks like a beat up nickel gun to me. If it is, it's a beater and can't be just cleaned up. Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

The Python and model 27 were both the best revolvers of S&W & Colt. People admire the craftsmanship of both fine revolvers. Pythons were ordered and given as gifts in presentation cases by Kings and rulers of countries because they were known as being the best. Even Elvis (a different kind of...

Both the King Cobra and Python are 2 totally different guns. If it wasn't for the Snake name and the pony stamped on the side, there would be no similarities. Not one part is interchangeable. Even the internals & actions are different. Unlike S&W not even the grips interchange. As was...

Wow, this has got to be the longest running revolver thread on the planet. I think I posted some pictures back 3-4 years ago on this thread. Here's a couple more to keep it alive... Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

Congrats and Happy Birthday. Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

They are all fun. I have a custom S&W 8 3/8 inch model 17 that is almost boring it's such a good shooter. Then, like you, I wanted to know if a shorter barrel would be more fun. So, I went out and found a 4 inch S&W model 18. Turns out they are both equally as much fun. I think I enjoy the...

PRM, I have your Smiths bigger brother... Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

That's a very old video. Yes it's real. Pretty amazing stuff. We've touched on it a few times here on the forum Jeff (GUNKWAZY)
