S&W Pic Thread

[skosh69]

Here's my new to me S&W 29-3, 10 5/8" bbl, .44 Mag that my brother so generously gave me yesterday. He's had since it was new and he passed it down to me.

Now, I need to learn how to shoot, clean and maintain it. Right now, it makes a rattle noise around the grip/frame area when you hold it upside down and tip it back and forth. I took off the grips looked but saw nothing, is that normal?

By itself...

And with my unit patches and crests...



Does having a S&W redeem myself any for having the Kimber????

The rattle you are hearing is probably the hammer block and is perfectly normal.



It is the long piece with the loop at the bottom.

Here is an entire thread about it on another forum.

While taking a break from loading .357 Mag ammo, I shot this pic of my 19-3 and my 1942 SA M1. The 19 is wearing Ahrends Retro Combat grips, and the M1 is (unfortunately) wearing modern, but pretty wood.

Nice guns and nice picture.
