I bought one, many years ago, when I lived in Toronto. A police officer, going through a divorce. Yes a good price, cash. At that time I lived in an apartment with my Son. The trigger was not the best! A phone call to S&W, Springfield?
And off it went. At that time I ran a Rustproofing company, as I was there 9 am till 6 pm. I used that address as a return address.
It was returned in the mail, with the muzzle sticking out of that box! Not damaged in any way! A miracle.
The postman said it came that way in his bag? Cleaned and lubed, as I only ever used factory wadcutters, off to the range that night. An indoor 20M range.Two clicks to the right on the rear sight. The first two rounds, side by side 10 ring. I think the hammer dropped at 3 lbs. Why indoor? Canada, aye!
That was my match gun, till I discovered the European 22LR/.32 rimmed cased revolver rounds. Interchangeable slides, same frame. Made in France, do not remember the name. I loaded the centre fire. Swagged 90g soft lead totally enclosed wadcutters, ahead of 1.5g of 700X. A Dupont powder. Loaded on a Star progressive machine. That was made the same year I was, 1935!
Sorry to slide off the mod. 52 S&W story.
