Hey Buckeye!

 

Good lookin' Smith 1917. Indiana Jones made that somewhat popular with gun guys (although modded with a 4"barrel) in Raiders. It recently gained a lot more interest as it was used by Brad Pitt's character in the excellent movie FURY.

 

Always a great gun for the collection!

Well Thank You Dantankerous!

I've always liked the S&W 1917.  Finally found one that I could afford and was in good condition.  Looking forward to shooting it.

Funny thing, I was talking to a WB buddy on Sunday at breakfast about this same topic.  When I asked if he would consider letting me try it at one of his local WB monthlys, he said sure.  Time to load up and get that S&W 1917 ready!

Yes I know lead only bullets, the pic was for another forum, Mil-Surp.

Like, CypressSam, I use military surplus magazines and have had no problems with them.  I find them at gunshows and they are new in the package.  They seem to work well in my Springfield 1911.
