Wonderful little guns!
I bought my M34-1 2", brand new, in about 1970 from a Gibson's Discount Store in Fort Worth. They had the price mismarked for some reason - - Something like $69.95, which was WAY low, even back then. I mentioned this to the gun counter clerk. He checked and said nope, that's what their price was supposed to be. I badly strained my small town cop's checking account, but bought it on the spot.
That revolver has a very short sight radius, and really shouldn't be as easy o shoot as it is. I've made several shots with it that I don't tell about, because
I think I'm lying when I tell the stories. It seems to like the Federal bulk pack Hp ammo as well as it does target ammo. It rides comfortably in the pocket of my bird vest.
I agree that the factory stocks are the way to go. I prefer the Pachmayr rubber grip adaptor, but the Tyler T-Grip works well, too.
Only recently I ran across a flawless 4" round butt M34-1 in a local pawn shop for a startlingly low price. I bought it, too. Before I could take it out and shoot it, I fell and broke my hip!
I'm about to swap my walker for a cane, and I imagine I can get Elder Son to go to the range with me on his next days off.
meef, $310 is a very good price. I'd have paid that for the four-inch, and I like the two-inch better. Please post an image.
