Post WWII S&W .38 Military & Police
« on: March 03, 2017, 10:04:41 PM »
I picked up one of these in good condition tonight from the local "toy store". Serial # C111XXX. According to the info I found at https://www.facebook.com/SmithWessonMpRevolverModel10/posts/471257209590018 , it was made 1948-1952. It came with a black flap holster that looks about the same age.

A Mug can never have enough revolvers.  You know me, I carry a six pack to the line with me on every capper.

Does that mean 1 or 6 revolvers?

He really means 6 revolvers. I only shot Zoot once-a few years ago at Pitspitr's farm. So I'm no expert, but IIRC, you don't have to reload, you can just stage revolvers(and rifles) all over the place. I shot with a pair of 32-20s, one a S&W similar to yours, and a Marlin 1889, and my trusty Lebel rifle and a Peacemaker clone.

Oh, I think he's understating. I think he really carries more than six revolvers. You should see where all he puts them.  ::) :o. He has one at just about every prop.  ;D. But there's something wrong with his revolvers. The cylinder latch works backward. You have to pull back on them instead of pushing forward.  ;)
