S&W 67-1

Post by **ESquared** » Tue Jul 24, 2018 4:22 pm

Based on its S/N and info from the S&W forum (or one of them), this piece is circa 1978/1979, making it right at 40 years old. It came with the original grips, which were a bit worn, but still nice, just way too small, so I put on these Hogues, which don't fit exactly, but I'm amazed that Hogue can put out one set of grips like this that will fit as many Smiths as it does.

Gave it a quick bath and some Flitzing, and it looks pretty clean to my untrained eye. Single action is VERY light, and even the DA is okay; long, but not too stiff or gritty, if that makes sense.

Off to the range soon to see how she does!

Hey, good for you. That's a great vintage 38 Smith, as good as it gets in a 38 revolver. Would have grabbed it, myself, if I saw it. Can't wait to hear how it shoots for you.

Sharp-looking wheel gun, and great find....congrats! Not easy to tell it's four decades old; looks much newer.

Your grip in the photo looks quite similar to the wood grips on current Ruger GP100 Match Champion revolvers. I've handled that grip, and it really has a nice feel to it, and very solid in hand.

Enjoy shooting your S&W. Looking forward to those range reports!

Nice esquared. Love the older Smiths. Range report section has plenty room for another report we are all waiting

Yep - good looking 67 - I sometimes wish my 66 was a dash - 1 and had the red inset front sight but such is life - and good deals!
Get it out and light it up!

Just so happens I saw the GP offered on Grab a Gun. Good call on the similarity of the grips, save for the finger grooves, which I prefer in a revolver, for whatever reason (don't ask me why, it just is).

Tried to copy the pic, but no luck. Like the checkering!
