This is, of course, a used revolver, but its in good shape. 4 inch barrel, adjustable sights, square butt, and in Stainless. Walked out of the gun shop with it for only $325.00
At the range, it shoots nice little 2 inch groups at 25 yards, with CCI Stingers. I will try some different brands, but this is not too bad.
I ordered a cross draw full flap holster from Sam Andrews, and LamoCamo grips from Hogue. This is going to be a great little woods gun :grin:

I picked up one like new with the pinned barrel and a bianci (?) holster three months ago.they are slick, ain't they?some seem to have a bad habit of sticky extraction, and mine has that trait...strangely, the more powerful the round, the easier extraction is. shooting shorts thru it, I really have to hit the extractor rod hard to get them out...wonder why?

I think I have the picture thing figured out, so I can post a pic of this little S&W.

Good question, I have a 34 (the blued version) that I bought new years ago that has that same trait. I am also curious. Maybe someone here will provide some insight.

also, mine has the worst front sight for me to see of any handgun i have...many send them to clements gunshop and have them changed...I just stuck a pice of skateboard tape on mine, and raised the rear sight...
