You’ll have to forgive me,, I’m a little emotional right now,,, gun show find.

Well I took the old girl out for the first time today. The attached photo is 50 rounds at 15 yards.
It shot very well, single action was very impressive and accuracy with my 240 hand loads was as good as any of my other N frame 44 specials.
I did have one minor issue. It functioned perfectly, never hung up or any problem at all but I noticed that when pulling double action in the first ¼ movement of the trigger there is a slight, hard to describe, but a slight change in the trigger then smooth the remainder of the way till it breaks. It’s not that it gets rough but seems like a change in the weight, the pull reduces slightly then the cylinder lock engages and it’s consistent the remainder of the pull. This is before the cylinder lock engages since I can hear it lock after the slight change in caming action.
Don’t know if this is normal with old S&W but none of my others have this.

Old gun treasure

Congatulations! Nice picture, too.

I traded a perfectly good snubby for an S&W 60-4 target revolver. And what a honey it is. Thankfully I didn't have to hunt twenty five years for it.

Hug it and polish it now and then go shoot it. Arggh!
 
BRE346 I’m not about to start hugging a gun, they are tools after all. And I don’t think that “Old Blue” would like getting that personal.
Ok, I did give the old girl a name.:o
