Tam Smithed Me

     Yes, now I have two S&W revolvers -- the lovely pre-18 .22, and this:

     "Right in your wheelhouse," she said, and she was right: a 1920s, nickle-plated .38 M&P, Model of 1905, 4th change (it says right here).  The very thing for discouraging ruffians!  And a little less quirky than the .380/200 Enfield revolver for that purpose.

    Aw, that's a nice one. I love that knurling on the ejector. That alone gets me smiling.

    Nice! Enjoy it. There is an elegant refinement to that design.

    We had a rough C. 1912 re-blued variant with a 4"bbl and round butt grip with very *worn* gutta percha S & W grips mounted. I wish it were still here. Best trigger I have ever felt on any revolver, and I include Colt Pythons, Pre-war S & W kit guns, and Korths.

    Very Nice! In good shape mechanically, I hope. I have one of its much later brethren, made about 1982 and spend most of its life as a Victoria state (Australia) police pistol. Has the bull barrel, though. Revolvers, esp. with a history, are just soo cool!.

    I have two. A vintage K-38 and a brand-new Model 17 Masterpiece. Wonderful guns. Smith knows how to build a wheelgun.
