my kinda sorta NIB S&W 15-2

Recommended Posts

 I was looking for a inexpensive 38sp to plink with and found this on GunBrkr that came out of our own HacketstownG&A (hi Walt). This was one of a large estate sale that unfortunatly had the storage room flood and damaged a lot of the guns, including this one. However it was minimal & cosmetic being that the bag it was in got wet, not like it was drowned. The good news is that most of the guns were advertised as un-fired (out of the factory) and I believe that applies here. Pristine bore & chambers, an almost invisable flash line over the cone and basically a non-existant turn line on the cylinder being whats there now is from me admiring an incredable SA trigger pull. I just had to re-touch a few blue spots but the lock side is LNIB.  A few dribbles did drip into the action causing just some faint cosmetic rust but I cleaned out the action anyway. And the boxes were stored seperate and got destroyed. Not too shabby for a 50 yr old gun.So just thought I'd share a few pics before she starts her new life attacking paper.

Made sometime between 1961 and 1967. The diamond magna grips should number to the gun. Anything else interesting there? N-frames maybe?

 

Nice catch.

 

Adios,

Beautiful. I saw that collection being sold on gunbroker. Sad what happened to many of 'em, though it looks like you did EXTREMELY well. Good luck with it!

    • Looking to pick up a Kriss vector  in 9mm.  Let me know what you got.   Thanks Chris  
    • If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.
    • Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
