Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 1, 2013 OK, I bought a new handgun yesterday. It caught me flat-footed with no permits, so it'll be a while until I actually take physical possession - so no pictures at this time. Those that know me, or have read some of my previous posts know that I have a penchant for purchasing guns that are slightly different - not so "run-of-the-mill", such is the case this time. Only clue I'll give is that it is IDPA legal - but I won't say in what division - so right away you know it's not something like a Desert Eagle (won't fit in the box). I'll update this post with the names of the first people to guess the three pieces of information I'm asking for below. Sorry, no prizes, just the satisfaction of knowing you got it right. For those few of you to whom I have already disclosed this, you are excluded from the game. Here you go (it gets harder as you go down the list): Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson - PK90 Caliber: .38 S&W Special - Smokin' 50 Model: Model 586 (a 586-4 to be precise) - Nobody got it. See post #64 for the explanation Have at it. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PK90 3,569 Posted March 1, 2013 Well, not knowing what is IDPA legal, I will guess anyway: Manufacturer: Smith & Wesson Caliber:.357 Magnum Model: 686 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 1, 2013 s&w governor You obviously have never read my previous posts. A Governor would be the LAST S&W I'd buy. Nothing against those that have them, just not my taste. .41 Mag Model 57 Not a bad guess, but not right, either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJReloader 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Manufacturer: S&WModel: 52 Caliber: 38 wadcutter Awesome gun, but not usable for IDPA(5rd mags). I'm going with the 952(9mm). Sent from my reloading bench while wearing Kevlar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 1, 2013 S&W 520, 7 rounds of rare goodness! Only 3000 made. This was a better guess before you edited your response. The original 520 is better suited for IDPA than the late 520 you describe - but both would be wrong. .327 federal magnum? Bullet diameter precludes this caliber's use in IDPA - but it is somewhat out of the ordinary Manufacturer: S&W Model: 52 Caliber: 38 wadcutter I wondered if someone would bring this up. The 52 is a neat gun - but again, not really suitable for IDPA by virtue of its 5-round mags (perfect for NYS though). One note: .38 wadcutter is what it is made to shoot, but that really isn't a caliber designation - try again. Some good guesses. I included the part about suitable for IDPA, not to test your knowledge about the sport, but to help eliminate a lot of the guesses that have been made. Good show. Keep trying. Adios, Pizza Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 1, 2013 OK - the caliber goes to Dave (Smokin'50) - you'd think the rest would be easy, but it's not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,871 Posted March 1, 2013 S&W Model.... 67, 64, 15, 14, or 10? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 1, 2013 S&W Model.... 67, 64, 15, 14, or 10? None of the above. Also, I am not playing semantic games with you. When I indicated that the caliber is .38 S&W Special - that is what the gun is actually chambered for - it is not a .357 mag that also shoots .38 Spl. It is .38 Spl exclusively.

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 1, 2013 Model 68? Would certainly qualify as "out of the ordinary", but fails the IDPA test with a 6" barrel. Nice try though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
