So it's home now. S&W M&P Model of 1905, 4th change, 38 Special, 4", all original. Shipped late 1929 or very early 1930. Stocks are original to gun and perfect to 1920's production. Chambers and bore bright and shiny, no rust anywhere. Minor use signs in all the usual places. Locks up tight and in perfect time. Glad it's mine........
Extra nice revolver!!!! I have its older brother, a 6 inch from 1919. Same thing, I was telling the gun shop buddy how I wasn't goin bhai to buy a gun this year.......Hey where did THAT come from.....here's my card now let me hold it ...
I know yo you will find yours to be "a keeper" too. Mine shoots WC on 3.2 bullseye to the sights at 20 yards. The sights are a challenge but part of the whole experience.
Smooth and still tight, you've got a Jewell!
dang what a sweet piece, I wouldn't have been able to pass it up myself. Got a thing for those old S&W revolvers.
Sweet revolver sir, good buy.
Good on you. Give her a good home.
I promise, you will NEVER regret buying that gem. Old Smiths are my weakness too. Here is a 44 HE from the 1920's that followed me home. You have got me searching for a 1905 GuesserAttachment 201055
You have an exquisite revolver. I am fortunate to have its longer brother, a 5" that also shipped in 1929. Mine does not look as nice as yours, though, as it spent 20+ years on the hip of a Chicago policeman. He signed and dated the inside of the grip panel. The years on the job leaves mine with well worn grips, a smooth plum brown patina on the grip frame and holster wear on the rest of the gun. The revolver locks up like new money and is glass smooth to shoot. Fortunately, the officer does not seem to have brained anyone with the gun as it is not bent. I hope you enjoy your old friend as much as I do mine.
Rare to find one in that kind of shape , Did you get the original box too.
Ive had 7 or 8 revolvers follow me home this year, the last one was a colt trooper that was in mint condition other than 1911s which I have plenty of , I dont really care for all the newer simi-autos, I will buy a revolve any day of the weekQuote:

I guess us old guys love old guns and I believe it is because of the history involved with them. My 44 spl in the pic was carried by a deputy sheriff in deep south Alabama and it shoots better that a brand new 629 and a new 24! It has 12 notches in the stocks, probably don't want to hear it talk! Guesser, those stocks on that old Smith are a thing of beauty.
Absolutely beautiful. I don't think I could've walked by that one either. Great find Sir
She's a beauty!!!
Time to try your Ed McGivern impersonation! What a nice Smith&Wesson.
