S&W Performance Center Model 67 3" with F Comp

[SeriousStudent]

I traded a bottle of whisky for this:

32393

New in box, with all the paperwork and a set of Ahrends grips. It does have that accursed lock, but I have a spare plug that will fix that issue.

I'm debating bobbing the hammer, but I'll likely just leave it exactly as is.

And the guy I bought it from has its twin Model 66 - same 3" blackened stainless with the comp and Performance Center tuning, but in .357 Magnum. That one will be mine, but will cost me two bottles of whisky.

The gun is nice, but I wanna know about this bottle of whisky

Yeah, that must have been a good bottle.

Pappy Van Winkle maybe?

I'm honestly not a huge Pappy fan. If I had a bottle, I'd sell it and invest the money.

I had to go to the bank and open a safety deposit box for this trade. I had an 18-year-old bottle of The Yamazaki, signed by Shingo Torii himself. I was in Osaka years ago, and was able to snag it from him. An old friend from the JGSDF made the introduction.

The next trade is two bottles of whisky for the Model 66, a Winchester Trapper .357 lever action, and a Kimber 82 Government .22 rifle still in the CMP box. I've checked out the Winchester, and it's mint. We still have to check out the Kimber and Model 66.

I've had the $100 range Yamazaki. Just incredibly good.

Winchester Trapper .357 lever action
I had one of these years ago (2000-2005ish) and wasn't overly impressed with it. Beautiful gun and fun to shoot with 38s, but wasn't very accurate with full power 357mag loads. I traded it for a TC Contender. Wish I had kept it as those Trappers go for a pretty penny these days.

I try and snag a bottle of 12-year-old whenever I see one. A lot of the Japanese whisky's are under-appreciated.

I am trying to work a deal for a bottle of the 25-year-old.

It is going to be a gift to my godson. It is a light and handy little carbine, and will be a fun gun likely shooting 125-grain reloads at paper targets, rabbits, raccoons, etc.

I am debating bringing it to TacCon for Chief Weems' lever gun class. Just for funsies. :)

This very fine revolver will soon become an heirloom. Having operated on many fine Smiths and thereby reducing their value, I urge you to leave the hammer as is. Now I'm spending your money when I say that the factory might convert it to double action only. When a hammer is bobbed without deleting the single action notch, one can still cock it if he tries hard enough. But, there is no spur left to decock it. I write this not so much for you who probably has known this information for years. Instead I'm sharing with the forum.

[SeriousStudent]

Yes, my cunning plan (in my best Blackadder voice) was IF I decide to do something with it, was to send it back to the Performance Center, and have them fit a factory DAO trigger.

Then keep the trigger that is in it now. Who knows?

With both the 66 and 67, I'll probably just leave them as is. With the exception of shooting the poop out of them. I love wheelguns, and buy them to shoot.

I'll have both of these at next year's Revolver Roundup, of course.
