I would start the thread, but I dont have one fitting the discription. Hence the reason for the picture request...getting ideas.
I'm leaning towards a Model 10 w/ Eagle secret service grips right now.
I've got to take a better picture of this 29-8 now that I have a better camera, but the weather's too crappy today to get enough natural light.
This one gets shot a lot but mostly with pretty gentle loads in magnum cases.
I was in a local gun shop last summer/fall when a little old widow (honest injun) came in to sell off here husband's guns. Well, I had just asked the owner about a nice shooter N frame Smith...
She pops out this "Highway Patrolman". I'm in drool stage at this time.
As she walks out (she got $200 for this particular gun) I offer $250...and I got it out the door for $260. I wipped the drool off my chin and went home to play!
It has had serious trigger work, has a trigger shoe (which I personally like) and was in (still is) 95%.
It was my first N-Frame and is still my favorite to shoot. It did however start an illness which has no cure.
