So, consistent with my history of selling a gun, regretting it for 10 or 15 years, and buying the same model again when opportunity knocks, I picked up a 1918-produced S&W 1917 revolver.
It’s getting a bit of bluing love right now, so no photos at this time. I’m curious about something, though.
Judging by the flame cutting present on both this 1917 and the Brazilian contract one I owned previously, they obviously saw a lot of use. Yet they’re two of the tightest revolvers I’ve ever handled. Very close to virtually no cylinder play or end shake. Is there something about this model that accounts for that?
