What about S&W Model 14-4?

What can you tell me about this gun?
I´ve just get one two days ago.
Is a 14-4 6in.

I got one a while back, a very fine shooting pistol.

You are in for some fun shooting experiences.

Enjoy.

One of my top favorites. Mine like the Federal 130gr fmj load a little better it seems than the 158gr lswc or the 158gr lrn.

Great gun. I have a 14-3 and it is seriously accurate. One of my "gonna keep it" guns.

Like Moonclip, mine does not care for 158 Gr bullets, but loves 148 Gr and lower.

 

[fjmaring]

What do you mean about doesn´t like 158Gr?

 

[Moonclip]

Our guns tend to shoot more accurately with cartridges that are loaded with bullets that weigh less than 158 grains. The 158 grain .38spl bullet in a lead round nose format is a very common load.

The 14 is a target revolver, you will find it shoots best with 148 DEWC.

Don't get to shoot my 14-4 much, but when I do I really enjoy it. A tack driver with a decent DA trigger, and a superb SA pull (though I rarely shoot SA).

It is the only gun in my safe that doesn't really have a specific use, but I'll never part with it.

I love my 14-4. It is far more accurate than I am, I use my 14-4 as my nightstand gun. At 25 feet it puts 100 shots on target without much effort.

 

[Moonclip]

I've used mine for that purpose in the past also. I feel the long barrel helps expand hp's and the recoil,flash, and blast are milder in a small home.

 

[bluetopper]

Smith never made a finer example of a revolver or a more accurate one than the Model 14 or some refer to it as the K38 Target Masterpiece.

Does anyone know if you can find a replacement barrel for the 14-4? Mine has some horrible rust and pitting on it. It was aftermarket in the first place, and I'd like a more factory look. Anyone?

 

[Moonclip]

It is a fairly common model so I'd feel they are out there, some gunsmiths might have one, it's gonna be a gunsmith job to replace anyways. Gun parts Corp might have them.
