Lost J frame models

[EthanR9]

This is not fact, just my observation, I think an air weight 9MM would be a handful. You really learn to like the weight of the 940 when you shoot it. S&W whole selling point as a backup for a 9MM SA went up in flames aginst combos like the Glock 17-26, the G26 killed the S&W 940. I have seen them at gun shows cheap but they are usually gone quick, usually priced like a .38/.357, people just don't know.

Well I assure you if I ever see one priced like a .38 I'll be sure to buy it in a heartbeat.

I bought my last 940 recently for $199 plus tax.

S&W model 60-10. Out of production, without internal lock, .357 mag., accurate and handy with the 3" barrel. You just don't see many of these for sale. No you may not buy mine.

How in the world did you do that?! I'll give you $204 for it $5 is a nice turn around. That's like what gun stores can make on selling a new gun.

Looks pretty good! Laser grips on it too?

You can always keep an eye out for a flat latch. I have a nickel one and a blue one.

I have three model 36's. I bought them used a few years apart, surprisingly the serial numbers on two are only 43 numbers apart.

I picked up another nickel 36 this summer in about 95% condition. It would have been a steal at the price I gave for it except for the fact that the trigger guard is slightly bent. Not too sure what could have caused it. The finish at the bent point is flawless. I doubt that it has had a box of ammo through it.

Original S&W Bodyguards were revolvers, model #s 38 and 49, they had shrouded hammers, excellent concealed carry guns, I have carried these for years.

It was under priced at a big box store. It's the second one I've bought that way.

I had a 632 and 432. Both were 6 shot J Frame 2" barrels chambered in .32 H&R mag.. Sadly I sold both in '08 when factory ammo couldn't be had. It took 2 years before ammo became readily available again. The 632 was one of 500 made and they go for upwards of $1200 now (I know, so what). I'm on the hunt for an I Frame 2" in .38 S&W.

What year was that purchase? I bought a '55 Chevy Nomad for $400 in '64.

Two or three years ago. It was underpriced at a big box store and had a few issues. I sent it back to Smith and it was fixed for free.

Oh great another revolver I want...

Very nice! I had a 640 that had ejection problems. 9mm has a bit of a taper and fired cases liked to wedge themselves in the chambers. The only cure was to use ammo with nickeled cases.

Yep, I'm a fan of Crimson Trace. These old eyes don't do well in dim or dark places, but the CT grips make up for it.

I have that same holster for a 66-1

Does yours look anything like this? Just gotta love those 3" barrels!

 

[Hookeye]

I saw a full underlug adj sight .22 mag J frame, stainless............years ago used in a shop.
Knew it was a super limited run, have not seen one since.
Can't remember if 3" or not.
Sorry I passed it up.
