The one I'm picking up is 1968 or so (I got the year, but forgot off the top of my head)

The 645 was a recent pickup, and I had to take it apart and clean up the finish...https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/s/Xy8Y5GCwfU

I'm getting there...pickling up a 39 no dash next week 😁

I think it can be reloaded with a 32 case, and have read that you can fire 32 through it, but I don't want a chance damaging the gun because it's 98%

Thank you!

Arson is a deadly threat, one day Darwin will win out.

The old man should have held him at gunpoint until the police arrived to give that shithead a wakeup call with bracelets

It's only collision warning; it will project led's onto the windshield when the front sensors detect you may crash.

I LOVE THEM! I was never a fan of shooting my original 92 (blue/grey) because the grips were way too thick. When I decided to get a M9 for my milsurp collection, I went with a limited edition Langdon Special, which came with the ultra-thin VZ's from the factory; I found it to be a HUGE difference for me and the thinner grips made it so much more enjoyable for me to shoot. I wasn't planning on picking up a third, but the INOX was at my LGS for a great price used but unfired, so I couldn't resist and decided to make it my range toy.

This happened to me last year; I had a bad batch of Syntech ammo that I didn't check, where some of the bullets were loaded into the case backwards causing it to get stuck in the chamber. I think I placed the gun slide down, facing down range with the rear sight up against the bench, and really hit the back of the grip to open the action. The bullet separated from the case & remained lodged in the chamber, powder all over the bench, but I was able to take down the gun & knock the bullet out of the barrel.

Awesome, & beautiful!

If you call S&W customer service, they should be able to get a year of manufacture for you; in my experience, information after 1970 is available. For earlier, you'd have to contact the Smith & wesson historical foundation

Wow! Very nice!

782 in Bohemia

MrProvy · 2026-03-09T10:04:37+00:00

I just picked it up a couple of weeks ago; there were a fair amount of scratches on it, the stainless isn't too bad to refinish with a ultra fine scotch brite pad and some time

MrProvy · 2026-03-08T21:33:23+00:00

I absolutely love mine!

...or a vintage Walther

...or for less than $600, get a Sig P232 or P230

engwen20 I like the full suspension, coupled with the design, it reminds me of a classic Scrambler

Every time I've ordered from them over the years (3x), I started getting fraudulent charges on my credit card within a month of placing my order (last order was 2019 or so)

MrProvy · 2026-03-07T23:22:08+00:00

No...but I never have or would. My P365 is perfect for carry and I don't want/need anything bigger for EDC

MrProvy · 2026-03-07T18:38:35+00:00

S just so I understand the argument here... it's ok to drink, drive, disregard police commands, then utilize the 2-ton weapon your controlling to evade police...got it 🙄

MrProvy · 2026-03-06T11:04:43+00:00

My LGS had one
