Thoughts on this for CCW? Found one at local pawn shop in great condition.
Aside from weight there is usually not much wrong with old metal S&W autos.

You're going to need a fairly large holster to tote that because of the weight and thickness. It will conceal under a jacket, but doubt it will hide under any summer clothing unless you wear a linen sportcoat everywhere. Great pistol, though. You should get it even if you don't CCW. They eat +P like candy.
Fan-fucking-tastic pistols. If you're OK with the weight (about 27oz unloaded), DA/SA and a slide-mounted safety you should love it. They have great triggers and are very easy to shoot. Also they're retard-reliable.

Mm, figured so. Just thought I'd fish for opinions here since none of my local ranges have one to try out, and I can't find much in the way of in depth review.

They're not that thick, bro. If you can conceal a more modern plastic pistol in summer clothing you can probably conceal an S&W.

Thanks for input /k/omrades, I think I'll grab it.

When did 26oz and 1.26" become mk23 territory

Nice piece but good luck getting replacement springs and such.

It's a good size and capacity. I keep meaning to buy one, but all the ones I see for a good price are all old beaters. There's just something special about the old Smith and Wesson pistols, no matter if it's 3rd gen, 2nd gen, or the original 39's and 59's, but only in good condition. Beaters have really flooded the market, which kind of makes them feel less special.

Dude, what. It's the same size as a Glock 19, if not a little bit more compact. A normal holster fitted to the gun will work, and he should be able to conceal it under any loose-fitting shirt unless he's like 4 feet tall.

Did you try looking on wolff gunsprings, numrich or ebay before typing that out?
