#362 - S&W Model 19-3

 This Model 19-3 has a 2 1/2" barrel, is pinned & recessed and all numbers match...Comes with the original box & papers and Magna stocks...The nickel finish is original...





























#361 - S&W Model of 1926 3rd Model

 These .44 Specials are not often found for sale, so when the opportunity arose, I took it...This one has a 5" barrel and original nickel finish...The stocks are early Magnas with machined steel stock washers having no printing on them...The only mark I can see is a penciled "250" on the inside of the right panel; these digits do not compare with any part of the gun's S/N, and their use here is a mystery...The gun shows no sign of refinish and all numbers match...There no service codes...

#360 - S&W M&P

 A new arrival is this 2" barreled square butt M&P...It arrived with all matching metal numbers, but the wrong grips...I decided to put this in my EDC rotation, replacing my 99 year old M&P Target...Magna stocks don't fit my hand well, so I resurrected a pair of unrelieved Target stocks not more than a year or two newer than the gun,.,Shipped March 1951...
