Buying a revolver, what do I need to know?

[S&W Fan]

Yeah, I know. Busy, busy. I decided I was going to buy one brand of brass (Starline) and stick with it for this gun - something that's more trouble than it's work with semi's. Got dies, powder, primers and brass - bullets should be here tomorrow.

The original grips actually came in the Hogue grips package.

This is the Krasne holster. It has the original manufacturer's tag in the plastic bag too. Didn't bother to take a pic of the Uncle Mike's.

Close up of the original grips. Head of the screw shows slight deformation from the screwdriver. View attachment 23794


Guess the guy brought the manual in with the grips. View attachment 23795

Very Nice all around pkg.! Hang on to those target grips. An excellent condition set of S&W Concalo Alves grips sell at a premium. If you ever decide to sell the gun, selling them with those grips will help tremendously.

Very sweet revolver you have there! Let us know how it shoots. How does it feel to be a revolver owner?
