Thanks Haz,

It has the target hammer and trigger which are really nice.

That gun just LOOKS like it is made for your hand.  A true 'point and click'.

Classic, reliable, a design that worked so good, it will still work for another 50-75 years.

Nice find.
 My .02cents,,, don't shoot +P's in it.  Looks in too good a shape for hot rds.

Great find you lucky dog.
I learned to shoot a revolver on my Uncle Jim's M18. Which led me to ask for a M19 for graduation and commissioning. I carried that M19 in Vietnam -- drew it a few of times, but luckily never had to shoot that one in combat.
I have my eye on a M18 now. Hope I can get it.

GREAT FIND

I got mine about a year ago from a deceased friends collection. Shoots great, and usually finds it's way with me to the range for cheap practice. They are accurate, even the 4". I have a .22 bullet trap set up at work and can even shoot there after hours.

Here's a not so good pic of mine.



Enjoy it.

I see the box says "Bangor Punta", must be early 70's. Thats the same vintage as my Dads model 27.
