Has anyone removed the gold logo from the side plate on these guns?Wondering if it’s possible and if so how difficult. Considering one of these revolvers but having a hard time getting past the “decoration”.

I have a 38-44 Heavy Duty made in 1952....have even thought about having it redone into .41 Special.....they are very under appreciated guns...

Order and fit a new sideplate. Cheaper in the long run keep the old sideplate for when you sell it as a collectors item.

Count me in as well. I've been watching ebay and Gunbroker for side plates, but I doubt the bluing would match even if a person found a nice one. I'd almost rather someone engrave their DL number on it than have the gaudy gold banner. Oh well...I wanted a 4" .44 Special, guess I shouldn't complain. I did get rid of the stupid lock though.

Beautiful gun Warhawk. I’ve got a nickel 22-4 and like yours it’s my only nickel plated gun. That’s why I’d like a 44.

Finding a sideplate to match a late model blued N frame would be difficult to say the least. One from a 29-10 would work but there likely aren't many of these being parted out yet. I don't think S&W will sell you this part separately. A sideplate is fit to the gun, then polished and blued so any one that came from a different gun won't fit perfectly.
I had to track down a sideplate for a three inch 29-4. Got very lucky to find one from the same time period that dropped right in and you can barely tell.

Around 1970 I bought this s&w 27-2 new. It didn't have any options. I sent it to the company, got all the options plus my name engraved in gold. That killed any resale value and I wont do it again. I plan on leaving it to my great grandson but hes only about 3 years old and lives 3,000 miles away. I had been thinking about buying another sideplate but doubt it would fit as well and likely the blue wouldn't match. I need to get famous then the gun will be wort more?? i.postimg.cc/vTXTS9Pq/SW--27-2-N-13491.jpg |
