Forty Rod SASS 3935 8,081 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Why can I get these abominations from three or four manufacturers (not to mention "transitional" Henrys, cartridge conversions that were scare as hens' teeth, and Schofields) and no one makes a 1st Model S&W Russian? The closest is the Beretta 3rd Russian and last I heard it wasn't SASS legal because of a rear sight issue...besides, the 2nd and 3rd Russians are UGLY!!! C'mon, I ain't getting any younger.

Dog Ears Wilson, SASS #77948 0 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 +1 And no one manufactures a Merwin & Hulbert copy either! (Just a joke, folks!) Link to post Share on other sites
J-BAR #18287 6,575 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Perhaps if the S&W were used by the hero in a western series (Wanted Dead or Alive), or by a beautiful woman in a sci-fi series (Firefly) you would have better luck...! Link to post Share on other sites
WOLFY 184 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Its too bad someone can't negate the adjustable sights on the beretta they'd be pretty neat Link to post Share on other sites

Beretta doesnt show neither on their site anymore, are they off catalog but still available? Link to post Share on other sites
