That is not a S&W #36, but an older Rossi #68 .38 special I bought with no stocks for $65.00. That set of Pachmayr's set me back $39.00 and a 50 mile round trip drive to Gainesville, GA to buy them. As that gun is no longer made, I had little choice. I gave it to my F-I-L, got it back when he passed away and sold it to my brother.

That is a S&W #629 .44 mag...I bought it for bear protection in north Georgia while I was painting my in-laws house last spring. It is difficult to stand on a ladder with 3#'s of steel hanging off you hip but I was up there alone mostly, and do not hear to good. Actually, I have gotten to where I do not see to good either. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Mountain guns have a different contour barrel. Different versions of S&W's have been made with unfluted cylinders. The 3" barrel N frames pop up from time to time. If you really want one, and ain't picky, I will buy the next reasonable one I see and contact you. If you don't take it, someone will. They are a bit much for me.


Griffin, GA is southwest of Atlanta, used to have a company there called Taylor Police Supply. One of my best friends back then dated a Taylor girl, a busty blonde with the morals of a alley cat, and we got some good deals there for two or three years. I think he got the best deal of all, <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />, sometimes right on top of her daddy's desk.

The place I shop is Dana Safety Supply, formerly Southeastern Supply, prior to that Jack Frost's Southeastern Supply. I have been buying there about thirty years. I bought a S&W #60 there when Colt dropped the D frames and S&W J frames were impossible to get. I still have the #60.

Gun shows suck around here, honestly. Especially since the last election. Everything is high and it costs $10.00 to get in the door.

As a officer, you should love this one. A S&W #58 .41 magnum. This is also a bear gun, and a handful with the service stocks on it. I got it off the internet, from south Georgia. I threw that Tyler T Adapter away, then the guy who pointed the ad out to me sent an email offering $20.00 for it if I didn't want it. I stood in the rain at 9:00 p.m. digging through my trash to find it, then mailed it to him as a gift. Never liked them.
