Eyesa Horg Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I've got the exact revolver and it came with large walnut "hunter" grips. Also have those Pachmyer finger groove grips. I have the right hand version however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 To Buy... or not to buy... that is the question. IMO, prices will remain forever high, and availability will remain scarce. With that in mind, I finally took possession of my 1996 Redhawk 44 mag. I had to reach higher than pre-covid MSRP, because they simply are not available any more. The gun and ammo people are making "what sells"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge, the civilian population of the United States is the only people that do month/day/year. Every other country does day/month, and our military uses day/month also, so as not to confuse the militarys of our allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Between 81 and 85 I did route sales, and one of my customers was the Air Force exchange. Actually, considering the hospital gift shop, the marina and the two annexes, five of my customers was the Air Force exchange. And I learned that I had to date all my invoices 12/04/22, and I had to do everything in black ink, because the Xerox machine would not recognize blue. Ah, the times, they are achangin'.

I see the lock issue isn’t just here in the US. Do some people get rabidly fervent regarding the lock to the point where you can feel their blood pressure going up through the internet? Here is something I posted on another forum to a guy that has concerns about a lock and needing a key. He didn’t get one with the used gun that he bought. He also wanted to know what the key looked like. Without a political diatribe… My answers: 1. I used the lock to try it out. It worked. 2. None of my S&W locks have failed in any way. 3. The key is only necessary to actuate the lock…or unlock it if you’ve locked it. 4. My keys fit each of my guns, so it appears they are all keyed the same. 5. A handcuff key. I have purchased 4 S&W revolvers with locks. - Models 60 Pro and a 327 Night Guard. Both .357 Magnums. Locks never engaged on their own after hundreds of full power .357 158 grain loads. - Model 63 .22 LR. Lock never engaged. I wouldn’t imagine a .22 would. Model 25-15 in 45 Colt. After hundreds of rounds at minimum to maximum loads the lock has never engaged. Call Smith & Wesson. They’ll send you keys. https://www.smith-wesson.com/customer-service/contact-us Yesterday at 6:51 PMEditReport + Quot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
