Does that shoot to point of aim? Front sight is much lower than any HD I have owned.
Great looking pieces, aren’t they? Such elegant revolvers.

I havent shot it yet but I need to. Weather is starting to warm up enough to want to use my range.

32 h&r?  Looks good. I'm looking really hard at one of these. Leaning toward .38 because I don't want to start buying another caliber but I hear good things about the 32 h&r.

Yes, it's the .32. Fit and finish is probably a B+. Trigger is heavier than expected and maybe has some grit, although my frame of comparison is against S&W performance center guns.

I'm also surprised at the wear that's occurred on the back of the frame from opening/closing the cylinder. I have read reports that this is normal and expected on aluminum frame guns.

It will be a great pocket pistol though.
If yours is anything like mine, it's bone dry inside. Open it up and give it a cleaning and lube.

New to me Model 1953 Chief's Special. Still doing some research and looking into a few things on it. Was told it's nickeled, but believe it to be aftermarket chrome. Locks up nice and tight. Timing appears spot on, and minimal end shake. Original serial number matching grips as well.

I need a Combat Masterpiece.  I have two 19’s but no 14,15, or 18.

Update - bought (used) a new production S&W Model 27 I had wanted for a while. Swapped the new grips (which I don't like) with original vintage target ones, as you'd find on several Model 27s and Model 28s

They are S&W factory J-frame checkered Targets.  They fit both square butt and round butt J's.  Also available un-checkered.

If I understand you right, you're saying the square butt target grips will also fit the round but frames also, like your 642?

Yes, that’s the case with those type of j frame grips.
If you need a set, let me know. I think I have some, and have gotten rid of all my J frames.

Local gun shop range has been getting used S&W's coming in at good prices.  Here is what I pick up the last three range trips:

29-1 in mint condition.  No box was biggest disappointment.  Shoots/functions 100%.  Makes me think of Clint Eastwood. $800
60 in very good condition. Cleaned up well.  No box.  Shoots well.  $250
32-1 in mint condition, with box, manual, and box of ammo.  I put the Hogue grips on to keep the originals from getting marred.  Shoots like a 22LR.  $300

Hello Everyone,
If any of you have a S&W with a fitter stamp of T18  PLEASE reach out to me.
That was my stamp when I worked there in Dept. 05 Hard fitting.
1987-1988 or so.
None had a lock, all had a firing pin on the hammer.
The stamp shpul be on the yoke and under the grip at the bottom on the left side when looking from the rear.
