+1 these Russians never fail to bring the lookie-loos around, damn fine pistols.gunsmoke11 said:Been shooting this re-nickelled S&W 1st model DA .44Russain for almost 40 years. It's a strong dependable gun though almost 130 years old. If you search hard enough you can find one in good shootable condition. Go for it and have fun, but be prepared for many questions being asked of you at the range.

Damn gunsmoke, me and you must be cut from the same moldgunsmoke11 said:Appreciating something masculine with a hint of femininity is just an expression of my inner child.Actually I collect antique weapons and seen many that were factory nickel and gold. As a matter of fact they were considered macho in the 1800's and what was carried even matched their spurs. I think anyone carrying something flashy was a sign of being confident in themselves. It's a shame how the word gay's definition changed from just being happy.
I really like the S&W top break a lot. This is the first one I got back in the 70's, but being first year of production and in mint condition it was worth too much to shoot, that was when I got the other. I generally prefer sa's, but have learned to appreciate the old da's as well and this includes all manufacturers.

if you do wanna get rid of it, i'll give you what you paid for it....hell i might even go to $50 or even $60I just bought this little H&R 22 revolver for $40. I got it to part out but on a whim I shot it at the range and it is surprisingly accurate. So now I'll maybe keep it (at least for a while).
