    Just snagged this S&W US Army Model 1917 for the unbelievable price of $500.

    She's in super tight mechanical condition, the finish is amazing for a 100 year old wheel gun, she didn't go through a re-arsenal, all the WWI acceptance stamps are crisp and clear.

    Not one of my usual humble brag threads of where I rob the evidence locker but I think I did well.

    Nice! My Webley is WWI and is not as pristine as your S&W, in fact a bit rough in areas. Where are you based? I want to shoot that

    He is in Florida. Take a trip.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    114 Year Old Colt New Service that's been rode hard and put away wet. Paid $25 for it a few years back.





    Can still hit plates at 30 yards one handed.

    Took the S&W 1917 to the range also. For a 100 year old revolver. It shots like it is brand new.
