Gunshop score!

[eric65]

Walked into my favorite gunshop today and the manager starts reaching into the case and pulls out three revolvers. the first was a mechanicly sound three screw blackhawk in .357 mag that was well used, the second was a N frame .41 mag, and the third was a s&w 19-4 6 inch pinned& recessed bbl in PRISTINE condition. Cost me my savage 99c but I now own the 19.

Any of them sound like a good score. Were you able to decide quickly or did you have to think about which one you wanted th most? 3leg

I am not big enough to carry an N frame around if the ruger had been in better cosmetic shape it would have been a close race, but I have a really soft spot for 19's

I don't get it. This is Leverguns.com. Maybe you should be posting this on the S & W forum. ----------------Sixgun

But I traded a levergun to get it. Doesn't that count?

Bill Jordan helped design that piece, be proud of it

I love em, problem is they are getting harder to find in good condition and when you do, the seller thinks they are made of gold.

[wecsoger]

Actually, that one is close to being made of gold. It's an 'old school' smith, back when they knew how to make 'em. Beautiful deep blue, good wood and I bet fit and finish is flawless.

Something like that though I would be hesitant to shoot much and I would have opted for the .41 also.

[M. M. Wright]

Was the .41 a 58 or 57? The 58s are really scarce.

I honestly don't know, I really don't pay much attention to N frames. I do know that it was stainless and that it was made before the mess that S&W has become.

Yes she is beautiful, but she was made to be shot, so I am going to use her very carefully when I do.

Great looking S&W, well done.

I keep Only 147 grain and heavier in Only 357 cases in my 19s.

I make mine rock&roll normally, but in this one, I think not!

[O.S.O.K.]

Very nice. Congrats!!!

The old Smiths are getting more and more collectible. (prices going up up up)

Just a little. You should have bought the OM Ruger and shipped it to me. ----------Sixgun

[Birdman]

I think I would have made that trade to.

[mohavesam]

You have chosen... wisely.

Looks a lot like one of my 19s. Looking forward to a range report on it - SOON!

One of the nice things about leverguns, is that sometimes they make excellect material for exchanges... I, like Sixgun, would have gone for the 3-screw BH, but I have a soft spot for mdl 19s also... and that one is certainly gorgeous!
