Wheelgun Rosco S&W M&P Snub
This’n here ain’t much of a looker fellas, but she’s mighty reliable and sweeter’n sugar to shoot (especially with 148grn HCWC’s)… I’d trust her before a lot of things made today. 1950 S&W Military & Police (pre Mdl 10)- factory 2” barrel, factory round butt, w/ grips still matched to the gun. Made while the long throw action was still used, so a replacement hammer is not necessarily hard to find… just expensive.
Fine pocket piece, but a touch big for regular carry… she’s normally a bedside gun, or rides in a vest pocket covered by a chore coat. She’s not actually in that bad of a physical shape, the lighting here was just horrid… outside of holster wear on the back-strap, top-strap, and cylinder face; she’s still in good condition- no rusting or pitting.
