    Found a S&W Model 17 (no dash!)

    Last Saturday this gem happened across my orbit. A S&W 17 had been on my want list for a while, and the timing of place, item and desire finally lined up in my favor. It was a sock-drawer gun, it definitely appears to have been fired very little in the last 60 years. I plan to rectify that by...

    Velocity Difference in 9mm What is Best?

    Measuring muzzle velocity of my S&W Shield to my full size S&W CORE 9mm shows what is expected shooting the same ammo, the velocity is less with the shorter barrel of the Shield. No surprise here. If you are trying to optimize a round for a given gun (barrel length) would I expect better...

    Sand Burr Gun Ranch S&W 629

    This is a 629-6 straight from Denny Riechard's bench at Sand Burr Gun Ranch. He gave it the works. It is very smooth. I recommend Denny for any S&W revolver gunsmithing that you may need! The gun is amazing and the Herretts Stocks Jordan Troopers really do work well for light, medium and...

    Good morning everyone, So, I have a beautiful mint S&W 17-4 .22 revolver, 6" barrel, blued, looks like it just came from the factory. I was with my dad when he purchased this at a gun show in 1978 I believe it was (I would have been 7 or 8 then). Growing up, we shot it a few times here and...

    Polished 5906 project.

    I got a police trade in 5906 from Bud's recently. It was pretty dinged up and showed a lot of holster wear. I decided that it would be a good project to try and "pimp". Now, I understand that shiny guns aren't everyone's cup of tea. To tell the truth, they aren't really mine either. But I...
