So I try to buy as much as I can, usually I only hear about "the one you just missed" but I do land a nice one every now and then.
In this case we are talking about a S&W 17-3 from about 1971 in original box but with some god awfull grips that I thought were homemade. Anyway, I have the gun shop trained to call me when something nice comes in, so a few Saturdays ago I get the call, NIB 28-2 four inch, 34-something 2" and a 17-3 in box, slightly used with after market grips. I said thanks but I have to work today so please don't hold them for me. Well, as you guys know, I couldn't stop thinking about it so after my last appointment I gave them a call and had them pull the 17-3 out of the display case and hold it for me
As I recieved it (the grips are made by a company in NY, if anyone wants them let me know, I will cut you a real good deal on them)

A few shots with the new safe-pall, an 18 no dash from 1958
