Despite all the insanity of ammo shortages and ammo price gouging there are guns out there to be bought. Most people go for the amazing plastic/steel genre leaving older guns to me!
I mulled over a Model 37 or a Model 49; although not cheap, at $599 each it still wasn’t as bad as ammo prices! On guy walked out carry a 500 round box of WWB White Box 9MM ammo; almost $650 out the door! Ouch. That’s why I’m limiting range visits!
So final answer? I bought the Model 49. I didn’t like the white resin S&W medallioned stocks so I put a pair of older checkered wood factory stocks I have. You choose but I like the wood better!
Here it is; tight lockup, a slight turn line; dry as my sense of humor! I need to do a detailed cleaning; it has a few warts - but as they say: “It’s mine now!” 😉👮♀️😉
Enjoy!
