Beautiful revolver. Is that a 4" barrel? I have the Ruger SP101 357 with 4" it seems ideal for everything, except concealment. Lol. Enjoy

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Not sure, some type of hardwood but they are beautiful, I had to retouch a tiny spot on it and used Varathane expresso stain. Super dark black/brown matched perfectly.

If you reload try those MB hardcast 180 gr Pugs. with 11.6-12 gr. of 2400 they would work well for trailing!

Nice pick up. That S&W is a fine addition to any collection. I'm sure you will find it the perfect companion when you're on the trail.
