My compliments on a fine family of Smiths.
Well, two in the group pic have gone to new homes, but I've added a couple or six more. - dan
It is indeed a four inch 38-44. Wrong stocks, but I did find a correct set last time I was in town from another CGN'er. I'll have to take a more up to date pic soon, - dan
Very nice catch on this 38-44, congrats !!
I'm into an eternal quest for a 4 inch 44 Cal Triple Lock....
Long long time ago (when I was a young handgun shooter) at a local bowling pins match, an old man (& I mean old !!) cleaned the whole table with 5 rds on his 1st try, pins flying 20 feet in the air...I was watching this incredible display of marksmanship with a powerfull handgun...He was using a 4 inch Triple Lock 44 S&W Spl !! Both werent ever seen again...but I'll always remember THAT 44 S&W !!
