    S&W Manufacture Dates

    Thanks Wow, 1948! I had no idea it was that old. It has wear on the sides from a holster but is in pretty decent shape. The 617 looks like new, but then it's stainless. Thanks! Terry

    Uberti/Cimarron Revolvers

    My wife and I purchased a nice used Colt a few weeks ago at the local money pit/gun store. While there, she noticed a couple of Cimarron revolvers, a stainless single action in .38 special and a blue one in .45LC. In fact, these guns were in the same display as the used SA Colts. Not only did...

    S&W 317 Heavy Hammer Question

    Hi all, Recently my wife and I purchased a pair of Smith&Wesson revolvers, a 617 for me and a 317 for her. My wife loves the air light 317 except for one thing, the hammer seems to require more effort to pull back than my 617, my Taurus 94 or my Rugers. Does anyone know if this issue will...

    Are Redhawks as reliable as GP100s?

    I own a Ruger GP100 and a Supre Redhawk, both stainless. In twenty years of ownership I believe that these 2 guns are as reliable, fun and just plane gorgeous as anything out there. I'm a little biased perhaps, I own 5 Rugers. Terry, Albuquerque, NM
