Classic wheel gun porn....

I went thru my accumulation to find three nice sets of Coke stocks. I have one set on a 1959 Model 27 8 3/4", one on a 1961 Model 27-1 6", and another that I poached off a pre-29 that I sold.

They are all walnut diamond stocks with a lower finer (smaller) checkered base. At a rear view they look like a coke bottle.

The Model 27:

It's a fun hobby.

I'd like to have a 1950 S&W Modell pre-26 in good condition if anyone has one? This one is a 1953

It's super nice in .45 ACP with the 6.5" barrel.

A guy always needs another S&W revolver. I am wired that way.

I bought this pre-27 from mikey357 10+ years ago. It's a low serial S80xxx serial number in great condition. I upgraded the stocks to non-relieved Targets (from non-matching Magna's).

It's STILL Beautiful, Doc! Glad you're enjoying it!

This little 19 got herself some new shoes!

This mint 19-4 with 3 T's just came out for her annual rub down.

And speaking of ones that we stupidly let get away, this pair of 57 no dash will haunt me forever!

Very nice Chuck.
I only have two Model 19-3's, and I bought one from you (lettered to 1973). I think you still have another one.

Your former one was an early build and has a darker finish on the stocks. These are rare frames with a trigger guard cut-out and both sides have the rare two-side relieved stocks. S&W also sold them without the wooden box and Bowie knife.

I found a third one at a S&W gun show, but the price was too-high.

Yep! The only commemorative that I own. I just love the matching knife.

Yep! The only commemorative that I own. I just love the matching knife.

It's the same for me + the indented factory trigger guard on this frame. S&W had a few left-over frames that are 1973 19-3. I saw one only once with a big price. The stocks are also rare as only a Texas Ranger. We have the wooden boxes.
