Thank you Sir...

My lamo camo Hogue Monogrip came in this afternoon. Got it installed and snapped some new pics. With the checkering and palm swells it feels WAY better than the factory rubber. Kinda easy on the eyes too...

That is awesome LES, love the colors in that grip.

Thank you Sir.

I'm quite fond of the layered color as well...

Waiting on the grips to ship definitely kept me up at night. She feels MUCH better now...

Here's my only S&W that I own:

Had it awhile...shoots great and has never let me down. SW40VE (SIGMA)

Nice Sigma Marine...!!

Have this S&W:

SW40VE that I have had a while. I carry it quite a bit during the cooler months. Shoots great and is an easy carry.

I own a few Smith & Wesson handguns, but my sweetest one is this Model 520 "N" Frame .357 Magnum w/ fixed sights. There were only 3000 of these built. They were built to satisfy a special order for the New York State Police in 1980, but before they shipped, N.Y.S.P. cancelled their order. The weight of this pistol was the reason for the cancellation. So, S&W made them available to the public. This is NOT the 2nd 520 7-shot pistol that people confuse it with. This is the all-blue, fixed sight, 6-shot "N" Frame.

This pistol found me while I was shopping for a wheel gun at a very large gun shop here in Houston as I was just leaving. I didn't find what sparked my fancy, so I started for the door when some fella from the back hollered at me and asked, "Hey sir, did you see this one? It just came in and I just finished inspecting it before putting it out for display." That fella was the head gunsmith and knew how particular I am about my firearms as he has overheard my discussions with one of the sales guys there several times.

He handed it to me and I knew that was exactly what I was looking for. It was a factory-fired plus maybe a box of 20 without papers or the box. I said, "Sell it to me now." I handed Brian my card and after he did the transaction, I asked him, "How much?" He laid my ticket down for me to sign as he said with an evil grin, "You don't need to know how much." I added a couple hundred rounds of .357 Mag, .38 SPL, and a few +P ammo.

I'll close this post and see if I can figure out how to post a picture of it. I'm not a computer guru.

Thanks. I wish she was NIB, but then I'd have to find another one to shoot or always fight the temptation to shoot her. But, I don't have any "safe-queens" anyway since I'm a 'shooter' and not a 'collector'.

Yea...I shoot EVERY gun I collect !!

Life is too short to have "safe queens"...

I suppose it would be like getting a "new" car or boat and never taking it out for a spin.

Documents, diamonds, gold, and 'saved' cash is what belongs in the safe anyway. And excess ammunition in the event of a fire.

Only one I got now is the third generation CS-9 Chief Special in stainless which is a keeper. hogue wrap-around grip and it is concealable. Feeds and ejects well with most ammo tried. no more trading or buying for me.

Have you any pictures of it mauser9...these are PIC threads !!
