25 yards..158 gr. Winchester.
Very pleased..old gun is smooth as silk.
Think I'll leave it as is.

What are you going to do to "tweak" it?

 

[Xfuzz]

I'm an idiot....

 

[Bob K]

Xfuzz, You're in BIG trouble now..........you're beginning to think like me!!!! Why spend thousands to make it a .44 Spl.? It ain't gonna shoot any better, then what you've got!!! :roll: Practical Bob

Oh nice. That would make a dandy 44, lighter, with more oomph.

 

[Frank V]

Nice group, I'd leave it just as is too except I'd tap the front sight just slightly left. Nice old gun. Frank

 

[Smithfan]

Looks to me like it's a keeper just as it is.

I would most likely still make it a .44 special or .45 Colt, but i can see why you would want to leave it as is.

 

[Jay J]

I agree with you Howie, keep her as she is. Not bad shootin' for a broke down peace officer...

I figured I'd drag out this old war horse again. I got this at Tulsa a few years back for $375. It started life as an Outddorsman with a 6 1/2 inch barrel. It shipped in September 1946. The barrel was cut down to 4 inches and it sports a King front sight, and it was "pawn shop" engraved. The charge holes were punched out to 357 magnum. The serial number is S 70791, it has the pre war long action. Of all the S&W's I have, this one is in the top 5 of my favorites.
