Well, as I stated in the other thread, the previous owner of this revolver & I managed to agree on a price which resulted in the addition of a .41 Mag to my collection.
You'll have to excuse the pic; I didn't take a lot of time with setup or lighting! The gun made it home yesterday (after I paid my money & the Instant Check said I was agood guy), but tickets to the hockey game precluded cleanup or pics. I did a quick clean up tonite & shot a pic to post:
(Well, I tried to post a pic but it appears that ImageStation has now decided to block image hosting for other websites. So, I've attached the pic as a file in the next message.)
The pic does show the bluing wear on the left side of the muzzle & tip of the front sight, the right side is worn in similar fashion. There is also a spot noticable on the frame above the trigger, and a small amount on the leading edge of the cylinder. The right side doesn't have the spot above the trigger, but does have a small wear mark on the front corner of the frame, ahead of the trigger guard & below the barrel shroud.
Thanks to all for the advice I received here concerning the pricing. This is the first S&W I have bought in one long time, the last S&W revolver was around 1989 or 1990. It feels good to have another one; I wish they would get themselves back on track & out of the agreement so I would be able to look at a new one. Until then it's used & pre-agreement only, but it is rewarding to find that clean used specimen that you've wanted foe a while!
Now I have to start collecting funds for different grips, a round butt conversion, chamfered cylinder charge holes, trigger smooth & polish, etc. It never ends......
