Old School

A 1964 Smith and Wesson Model 30-1 3" with bubba hammer. 32 SW Long is a soft shooter. Sights are a pain in lower light due to eyesight issues I have. Now needs new springs.

Great little revolver. Why do you say it needs new springs?

Trigger pull is high. A good set of springs helps a lot. I am a old revolver shooter and love to shoot them.

Gotcha! A lighter trigger return spring works wonders on those. I've been looking for an old Model 30 to go with my old Colt Police Positive in 32. Nice find.

Good stuff for sure. Looks like the finish has been redone at some point.

Actually for DA shooting, it’s the mainspring that needs the most attention.

A good smoothing/polishing of parts would help a lot, just don’t touch the single-action sears.

Congrats on a nice find, enjoy.

Nice pistol! I see what you mean about the sights. Then, it was probably not intended to be a tack driver.
