I have tried to identify this Smith and Wesson, that was my grandparents. Not as easy as I thought! I figured I could put the serial number in somewhere and it would spit out the answer.... Nope! My son suffered using this forum, and I admit to ignorance on how to use it, or frankly if I am even going to be successful posting this! It's a . 22 Smith and Wesson CTG which I've learned the CTG means cartridge.... I assume it's pre 1960, but readily admit I have no idea why I think that. I...

This may be the serial number because it looks like it has an N prefix. The other is 5 digits, no prefix, and on the movable part of the cylinder. This number starts with 422 and looks like it was stamped seperate from the last 2 digits. These three digits look like they were stamped seperatly... Model 29-2 info needed ..read more

Got to thinking about my revolver assortment today and thought today might be good for some outside pics. I photographed one of the under represented types in my assortment, which is Blued K Frames. Never really went looking for specific guns. I just bought mostly whatever showed up in the area. As a result I only have 2, Blued K frames. One is a pre model 10 from 1955 and the other is a 15-3, shipped in 1969. The 38 M&P was my first S&W revolver. [ATTACH... Blued K Frames ..read more

The RCBS order acknowledgement informs the buyer (order placed 4-5-24) that normal delivery is in 7 to 10 business days. UNLESS you placed your order after 4-4-24. When calling RCBS about the missing order; no tracking #, no 'it shipped' email, just a charge on my credit card; the absolutely sweet-voiced lady who took my call on 4-15-24 @ 4:05 EDT, told me that there is a computer system change-over and all order processing / information is delayed for at least 2 weeks. I politely... RCBS public service announcement, UPDATE ..read more

Picked up a new to me 638-3. Impressed with accuracy (and of course reliability) over my .380 pocket pistol. Any suggestions for a pocket holster? Have an old Uncle Mike's size 3 and it doesn't cover the trigger and too narrow for the barrel to sit in the bottom. Going to stick with the stock grips for now. A padded backstrap would be nice shooting +P, but don't want it to be too big for CC ..read more
