My Holy Grail Smith
I have been after one of these Smiths for years but the prices have gotten absolutely insane.

Re: My Holy Grail Smith
I wouldn't call a .357 a "big bore" myself.
I'd assume it's the limited number made that makes this an expensive S&W. I personally love Smiths, but wouldn't pay the premium when I could get a regular 27 in similar length barrel, and do the same job with it.

Re: My Holy Grail Smith
Big fan of the Performance center N Frames.
I bought this 327 TRR8 a couple of years ago, just watched one sell the other day on GB for almost $1600.
I think I got mine for around $900

I know the stags look out of place, but I had them in my cabinet and they fit my hand perfectly. Didn't care for the rubber grips that came with it.
It's all about how badly you want something.

Re: My Holy Grail Smith
Guns have gotten like cars....about 40% of the car/gun is useless and hardly used or even more rarely, if ever, needed.....it's just another way to suck more money out of you.
But that's only my opinion.......good sights, roll up windows, good stocks, fuel gauge, tight tolerances, heater....---006

Re: My Holy Grail Smith
I have a few Smiths but this one I consider my "Holy Grail" Model 25-7 .45 Colt I found on Guns International last year. It shoots really well!

Re: My Holy Grail Smith
This is my "holy grail" of S&W revolvers.
The 38/44, a .38 Special on the .44 N frame, with target sights, and 6" barrel.

A close 2nd is my 25-2 in .45 Colt.
