1937 Smith part 2
I finally was able to shoot a few rounds out of the old Smoth 1937 I picked up a few weeks back. I'm happy to report it seems like it'll work just fine! Apparently the deep stamp on the bottom of the bore doesn't affect accuracy to any horrible degree. I'll be the first to admit I don't shoot N frames well, and I was shooting with the cruddy fixed sights at a dark indoor range.
Here's the first twelve rounds through it, 230 gr factory hardball
Then six rounds of 200 cast swc. I'll call the vertical stringing my fault with the sights. Looks like it does ok with cast
It has some odd coloring to the CCH on the hammer and trigger, not sure what's up with that.
It also has the rounded top strap and Eagle over G2 stamps on it, so I'm assuming it's an earlier production gun, maybe a WWI left over?
