I don't see much else that it is useful for.

Slick! That is just slightly less cool than the 6 inch Charter Bulldog .357 I'm waiting on.

Rob, that's a classic pre-war custom sixgun. It needs to be left in its customized state. Those King custom guns are prized over on the S&W forum. If it only had Roper grips. I hear there's a guy who could make a classic pre war holster for it.

Those stocks look like Shooting Stars that have been "smoothed" somewhat, which is the best thing you can do with Shooting Stars, IMHO. They look pretty good now, although they are likely of later vintage than the gun.

I'll bet that trigger is slicker than owl snot.....shoot it and let us know!

cut that barrel back to even with the ejector rod, chrome plate it, take off those grips, fit it up to wear a set of Uncle Mike's Boot Grips and carry it in the appendix position in one of these:

That should get you set up proper.

Actually, paint me - that's a sweet looking sixgun!

you put a light rail under the barrel.

By coincident I took my 5" 1931 M&P to the range this morning to shoot along side my Combat Masterpiece. The M&P shot groups slightly tighter, so these handguns will shoot and shoot well. The M&P sights make things more difficult, but they can be managed.

I would never have done to that M&P what was done to it, but I would not remove the rib and sights as they can only make it easier to hit with. The extra weight on the barrel will also be a help.

Beside, it looks like they milled a groove in the top of the frame for the rib and rear sight. Take it off and you won't have anything worth shooting. So, I vote to leave it on.

Very nice!

One classy lead-flinger.
