Question

[?]I have several guns that I need to sell because I no longer have the time or funds to take them to the range and I have to keep them so locked up at home that they are not really practical for home protection. With my third child due in November, I really need the money more than the guns at this point, but I am not willing to give them away. I have gotten some pricing info. from several different sources but it is so varried that I am still clueless! I figured that "Asking the Experts" was my best bet! The guns are listed below and ANY input that anyone could give would be greatly appreciated!

1.Winchester Model 1200 Police Stainless, 18" barrel and 7 shot magazine.
2.Ruger P89 9mm, 2 15-shot clips that came with the gun, and 1 15-shot clip purchased after-market
3.Ruger SP101, Stainless Steel 357 mag 5-shot
4.Ruger VAQUERO 44 mag 5 ? inch barrel

Thank you so much for your input and advice![:D]

    Just got back from the range. My son was shooting his SW22s for the first time. 200 rounds want down great, The last 50 where all over the target. And seemed to be hitting sideways. The first 200 perfect little holes, Last 50 looked like slots.
    Any suggestions on what the heck is going on. I am thinking it might have gotten fouled. But way?

    A friend of mine has a S&W that shoots .357 mag. I'm almost certain it's a 686, but I'm not exactly sure.

    So coming from this, how do I find out if it's a 686? I've looked over the firearm and don't really see much in the way of markings.

    And also, it's blued with a 6 in. barrel. Probably about 85% cosmetically, but it fires soundly. How much is it worth?

    note: I am not selling the firearm, and he does not have interest in selling. I was just curious about how much it would fetch.

    I am new to this so I hope asking this info here is alright. I was wondering what the following was worth (as general as need be)? A S&W 44 mag mountain gun stainless with hogue rubber grips, fired once and also a stainless Tarus 38 with the brown brazil wood grips? Both are in nice shape and shoot well. Original owner of the 44 and it is essentially like very brand new.

    Good morning folks!
    Can any one explain to me
    what the heck AI means after
    a cartridge name. I'm guessing
    something "Improved" but how
    does the nomenclature affect
    the original bullet?
    Thanks-Ron

    Does anyone know of any revolvers that have 10 shot cylinders? I noticed the Taurus 94 had a 9 shot for .22LR

    Also, does anyone know of an online list that is basically like the Blue Book? I'd rather not pay $50 for the latest edition at Barnes and Noble. Just looking for a free site that documents all guns and their stats.

    always hoped someone would make a repro of the volcanic pistol like locust fork has for sale...now if i were to cut down a henry 22lr lever rifle to about a 10" barrel , bend the tangs to fit a pistol grip and reshape the lever...also have a uberti clamp on stock i could adapt..... would this be ILLEGAL by batf standards have made buntline models out of revolvers but NEVER done a project like this and need to know legal limits first

    I have a friend with a Browning(auto shotgun), similar to an A-5 but Japanese made, it's recoil operated. Is it OK for him to use extended chokes? I am told that it will damage the gun and chokes.
    Thanks

    Swing open the cylinder and the model number should be on the inside of the frame.

    for the most part if the model number begens with the #6 it will be a stainless pistol . The one you are looking at could be a model 19 or model 27 but that is just 2 of many models of Blued 357 revolvers.

    S & W marketed a model 586 that came in blue or nickle finish. I believe it was identical to the 686 which came in stainless steel.

    If its truly blued steel, then by definition it is NOT a 686, which are all stainless steel. But to confuse things a bit, there have been some limited runs of 686s in blackened stainless steel.

    The way to know is to open up the gun and look inside the frame under the rear of the barrel. The model number should be inscribed there.

    If the gun is otherwise identical to the 686, but truly in blued steel is a 586. Does your gun look something like this?
    450_smith586.jpg
    Note that the 586 guns are distinguished by the full underlug under the barrel. As mentioned other blued steel Smith .357s would include the medium-frame model 19, and the large frame model 27.

    If this gun is a 586, one in 85% shape should be worth roughly $375, give or take $50.

    Edit: On price, for whatever reason it seems the 586s aren't that highly sought after. Don't know why. . .they're great guns, basically built to compete against the Colt Python. I guess the real hunters want the 686s and being lighter and handier, the model 19s work better as defensive guns.

    Anyway, If you had an early ("no-dash") 586 in like new condition especially in nickel and/or with original box I could see it fetching $750+ as a collector's item. But an ordinary blued gun with an 85% finish is just a "shooter". On the auction site, guns in better than 90% condition have sold for around $350-450 in the last few months, hence my estimate. That does seem low, but maybe part of that is because the economy is so lousy right now.

    Depending on locale, I have seen some blued 586's sale for as much as $750.00, and nickel sale for just under $ 1000.00 depending on condition.

    Thanks guys for the replies. I'll have to take another look, but it looks like the picture beantown put up, so I guess it's a 586.

    xplag,

    To illustrate where to find the model number, here is my Model 12-2:

    Open the cylinder:

    100_10443.JPG

    Look below the barrel, and above the yoke/ cylinder hinge:

    100_10452.JPG

    Read the number:
