S&W Model of 1899 M&P

It makes the 1911 look young. Really nice gun man, gotta love pawn shops and the random stuff they get from time to time.

That is true. Pawn shops will sometimesw yield some neat little treasure. The trigger and hammer are from a different gun. They aren't casehardened. But the serial numbers on the frame, cylinder and underneath the barrel all match.I've seen photos of 1899 M&P's that have recieved indifferent care over the past century so the condition of this one is still very pleasing. I figure for a 109 year old revolver I did okay.

This is one of those revolvers that I never expected to see in person. Figured I would look at photos and maybe see one in a museum.

Very sweet. Plan on doing any shooting with it?

[Jcordell]

Yes I do, but it will 38 special 158 grain LRN only. I looked it over today and tonight I will take off the side plate for a closer look. But there are no bulges or cracks that I can see. The bore is clean and the timing is good.

I also will not be using it for any marathon shooting sessions. It's an old timer and will be treated as such.

Nice. Really beautiful, old Smiths are uncommon here (Colt dominates the "old revolver in good condition" market)

Gotta love those old Smith & Wessons. Sweet find for a pawnshop.

That`s awesome! I`ve come across one or two over the years, but never in such nice condition. Great price too! Is that a 4 inch barrel
