Thinking about getting this nice 645. The smudge sticky looking stuff on the slide is from a sticker apparently. Luckily not a scratch. I think i want it but i would like fellow Smith&Wesson enjoyers to throw me some opinions. Much appreciated.
Had some pretty great lighting on the farm here in the Ozarks, so I took some pictures.
Went out and took some better pics of some of my handguns today. Here's some pictures of the 40 "tactical" Smith&Wesson that had a previous life as a brinks security issued handgun.
Found kind of a rare duck out in the wild today. 356 TSW (Team Smith&Wesson) was developed by Smith&Wesson for IPSC comepetition and has some cool history. Just happened to hit a local pawn shop and there sat 2 boxes of 356 TSW hydra shok. They're 1995 lot coded. I have absolutely no use for them but they had to come with me.
Ended up trading a model 38 no dash Smith&Wesson to a friend of mine for this. Came with 2 holsters, extra grips, the gun and cash on top. Im pretty tickled to have it. Its interesting that its a 2004 production GP100 in 38 special only. I kinda figure it was a police or security gun but I have no honest clue.
After staring at this for 2 months in the shop i work at i couldnt stand it anymore. Super solid 5 screw what i think some would call a pre model 27 maybe? Its a 102xxx serial with an S prefix. I picked it up for 700 plus tax. Im very excited to finally have it. Ive learned there's a lot of different names for this and im still not sure exactly what to use.
I found this at a gun store down in little rock. I have been on the hunt for a 1911 and was honestly pondering a Tisas. I saw this and couldn't pass it up. It was tagged at 799.95. I think I came out okay, ive seen them going for more lately. I think its an earlier production example, but could be off mark on that. Only 2 issues I've noticed is the broken stock and a solid 10 plus pound trigger.
Had a local holster maker here in Arkansas make a nice holster for my pre model 10 and my 10-5. Im very happy with it. Pre model 10 is from July 1931 and the 10-5 is from 1974 i belive. Someone took the bluing off but they're beautiful to shoot.
I saw this 10-6 on a local for sale page here in Arkansas and im really tempted to get it. I thought the marking on it were interesting and thought id share. I have absolutely no clue what the AA388 means. The dude is asking 450. Should I? 🤔
I found this 910 offline a few weeks ago. The first time I took it out and shot it, the slide would lock to the rear and the slide stop would even fall out. Turns the plunger on my guide rod that holds the slide stop in was missing. I ordered a metal 5900 series metal guide rod (with plunger) off of numrich. That seems to have got everything into ship shape. Its a beautiful gun and came with one 10 round mag. Luckily the gun store I work at had 8 5900 series mags. Guess who bought all 8.
New to me 4046TSW DAO 40 cal. Came out of a pawn shop in Florida, found on gunbroker. Is marked with a Brinks security crest and came with a heavily used safariland holster. Right side of the grip shows heavy wear from what im guessing where it rubbed against a seat belt.
