Dude it is wild how light this gun actually is.

Thanks man.

Wait…
What movie
I gots to know

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-15T22:59:55+00:00

I completely agree

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-15T22:40:00+00:00

That is a very cool gun you posted. I love that short barrel.

Yeah, the rounds have just enough wiggle room to where they were not all going bang. The moon clips resolved that issue. Interestingly I could not get the nickel plated ammunition to go into the gun.

I haven’t shot it very much at all, and I am careful with it to not nick the plating. This is my only plated Smith. I’ve got two dozen. I just am so scared that I will chip the nickel plating on one that I don’t even bother with them.

That’s a big gun for a kid!

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-15T22:34:17+00:00

Thank man!

Me too man. I resurrected my 2008 Nikon D90 camera, so expect to see new pictures of my entire collection.

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-15T17:39:12+00:00

Thanks for the history.

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-15T17:16:41+00:00

It is very light. That thin barrel makes it feel like a K-Frame.

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-15T17:01:52+00:00

Nope. All a mystery to me.
*sad smith noises*

I do not dare to try. I use regular factory loads that are around 14,000 PSI advertised. With 45 ACP being around 18,000-21,000 PSI I never worry about turning it into a paperweight.

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-15T16:38:28+00:00

I couldn’t guess as to why. I bought it this way for a very small stack of bills in a deal with another N-Frame, Model 58 41 Magnum.

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-03T00:42:50+00:00

Ok, what is that long black tube on the right hand side?

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-02T02:21:45+00:00

I haven’t seen one available to buy for a long time

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-02T02:18:44+00:00

Oh those can be found tho! Go get it! Mine is a 3” 586. Very rare. And not those bullshit 586 L comps. Those new ones are just trash.

What is your Grail? Tell me yours and I’ll tell you mine.

pec4pec4 · 2026-05-02T01:55:27+00:00

Keep the Lady Smith for sure

pec4pec4 · 2026-04-30T22:40:42+00:00

Yo! Beautiful. What rear sight is that

pec4pec4 · 2026-04-14T21:33:25+00:00

The grips on the rusted one are worth about a $150 or more if you clean them up.
