Well, it happened again. I went to the range for a bit more testing with Little Bro, and there in the used-gun case, one of my "Grail Guns" that I've lusted after since the day S&W announced it. In fact, I think this is the only one I've ever seen in real life.

Of course, I succumbed to temptation. I've learned my lesson.

They put it in the case that morning, had a couple of guys look at it, so I knew what had to be done. After a good going-over and Nanolube, one box of ammo, and then it takes an honored place as a safe queen.

I hope you will be haunted by the collective Jealousy of your fellow Freepers. /s

That is a beauty. I have a Model 29 that I might have to take to my Grave. If it's possible to love a gun, well...

Cool find 300 !!! Very nice condition too ...

I’m still searching for a “””new””” or near new Schmidt & Vesson Model 13 with a three inch barrel with round butt grips.

Old FiBi issue.... had one , let it go in a trade and regret it every day.

Fixed it for you. :-)

Seriesly Win-Mag you'll find that is a great shootin' old wheel gun. A Tyler T adapter or a set of Pacs will make it a lot easier on the old hand. Kudos on snagging a fine example of Messers Smith and Wesson handiwork. They truly don't build 'em like that any more.
