I inherited a beautiful Model 36 "Chief's Special .38 snub, made in 1979.

I mean the new ones... the 'retro' Smiths. Post a pic of your 36, though, if you have one. Tasty.

I thought about a new Model 1917 since my old Model 1917 is one of my favorites. I am not sure if the new model has any improvements from the original.
My Model 1926 .44 was stolen some years ago and I would like another .44 Special 4 inch for CCW. It is on the list, about half way down!

I really want a case colored M40 lemon squeezer, but $929 MSRP? come on. Has anyone actually seen one for sale yet, and at what price?

Those M40 lemon squeezers are like hen's teeth, nearly impossible to find.
Pretty neat though.

I fondled one at a local shop last month - it was sweet, I had dreams about it for days. I think it was ticketed at $689 and I just about swallowed my tongue.

Therein lies the problem. The true classics can usually be had for less $$$. Think about it. If you had a choice between a replica 427 Cobra S/C for $50k or an original for $40k, assuming identical condition, which would you pick?
I know, they don't really sell for those prices (that'd be sweet), just for illustration purposes.

I was thinking about getting one of the new model 40s, then I found this one for $450:

I have a TRR m22-4 it is a great revolver, despite the lock. Mine has nice blue and really nice stocks. I found it in the used case for $450 back in June. My only gripe is the apparent burs around the outside edge of the forcing cone.
I've seen a few more in dear cases since then, but none of them seemed as nice as mine (at least the stocks), which I find odd.

I have a Model 36 3" Color Case. Check out this thread.
I paid $660 for my color case 3". So far I have not found another. It list for $735. I did see a 1 7/8" online at a pretty high price.

I have a model 629 Classic. 44Mag 8 3/8" barrel topped with a Leupold 2X.
Its not on the page highlighted though!
Odd, it says Classic right on the barrel!

Gator,
For $450, I'd say that's a pretty good price considering my local shop wants $575-ish for the same gun.

Yeah, I think I got it for about $100 less than it should have been. But my dealer got it back on the next thing I bought.

I'd love to get one of the m40s, preferably original but I would take whatever I could get.

Highorder,
No case colored one, but a nicely blued one at my local store for 850.00
