My personal security lock box got stolen back in september and it had my Home Protection Handguns in it.

I would like to replace them:

Colt Anaconda 6" in 44mag
Smith and Wesson 65 Lady Smith -Pre Lock. With Firing Pin on the Hammer
Smith and Wesson 640 pre-lock

All of them were Mag-Na-Ported, but I can do that on my own time.

Thanks all.

I have a lead on the Colt Anaconda. I also have a lead on a 640.

The probelm I'm having is finding a 65LS. Any help or leads would be appreicated.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Quite often. Then again, I know I have an attentive audience.

I'll continue talking to myself. I picked up an Anaconda 6" that is factory ported. So that saves me a couple bills.

I have a promising lead on the 65LS. So I hope that comes through by the weekend.

I found a 640 that may work out, so I'm hoping to be back at level before too long here. Maybe another week or so and I'll feel less violated.

On the downside, I found ALOT of revolvers out there that I would LOVE to have, but alas, I can't afford them all at the same time. Story of my life. :D

I have come to an agreement for a beautiful 65-5LS. Although it doesn't come with papers or a box, it is an ealier version than the one that was stolen (65-6). So none of the internals at all were MIM.

I'll post pictures when I get it.

So, the only one left is the 640. For me, this one holds no personal meaning, so if it takes a little longer to find the right one, it'll be okay.

Well, I just got a tracking number for the 65LS. It's a Model 65-5, so the hammer and trigger are both PRE-MIM (Bonus, in my eyes). When she gets here, I'll take some pictures of her. I expect that to be Wednesday or Thursday.

Two down, one more to go......

Well, I'm almost back to stock again. I'm looking for a Centennial 640 in .357 I'll consider a 649 Bodyguard in .357 also. If anyone has one, or a lead on one, I'd rather buy here, than on Gunbroker, or guns america. Pre-Lock only, please.

Thanks.

I'm kinda torn between replacing my 640 with another 640 or maybe a 642 in the lightweight frame. Anyone care to offer a persuasive argument one way or the other?

642 is lighter lol much of a argument but it's something
