Man that thing is gorgeous...Here is some 1969 S&W blue, in the form of a 29-2.
That's another beauty too!Thanks for the comments S&W has been my soft spot for the last 20 years.
Doggie Daddy that is a very nice lookin 66, the tyler T is just classic!
Here is my favorite S&W Pre 29 from 1957.
Picked this up this morning at Indy Trading Post. Ever since I traded my 6" Model 66-4 I've been wanting another one, and now I've kind of grown partial to snubbies for ease of carry. Actually, Doggy Mama thinks this is her gun...
I would be interested to see how many other snubby owners there are here. Here is my S&W 642. I have speed strips instead of Speed loaders now.
I've been doing alot of research lately, and I'm going to. purchase my first handgun on Wednesday. I noticed in the photo of your weapon, that it doesn't have a hammer. From my research, I believe that means it's only capable of double action firing (please correct me if I'm wrong). Are there any benefits of strictly double action? Does that make maintenance more difficult?HERE IS MINES!
I kept ogling that gun in the classifieds... good thing Snorko is so far away from me, or I might have beaten you to it! Congrats! She's a beauty...Picked this beauty up from Snorko over the weekend. S&W Model 19-2. From looking at dating info on the web, it appears it may be from 1967 (I could be wrong).

Speed loaders are for loading the ammo. Speed strips hold the ammo while loading and unloading. With practice strips are faster to unload & load. the pistol has to be made to accept the strips.
Are you thinking of Moon Clips?
Speed Strips are straight strips that hold the cartridges for reloading.
