need help!
recently traded for a comercial version of the S&W 1917 discovered when I cleaned it I now need a new barrel for it this one is split where the bullet goes into the barrel. Can anyone help me locate a barrel for it? Otherwise the pistol is in good ??? shape. Had a gunsmith look at it and was told that if I can locate a barrel I'll have a solid shooter. Would appreciate some help. THANKS

I have a gun that is made by Target. It is a .22 cal. revolver 9 shot with an octagon barrel. Does anyone know what year it was made in and how much it is worth?

Welcome to the forum Dee Dee,
Do you mean the manufacturer was Target or is that were it was sold?
I've never heard of a Target Brand revolver.

it's not the type of gun you have in the heat of a battle that counts, only if you have enough ammo for it, lets face it, a gun without ammo is only as good as a base ball bat!!0 -
Give all the markings, esp the "proof" marks (discribe them the best you can, anyway) 
Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.0 -
If you give us the proper information, we may be able to identify it for you.
Break open or solid frame?
Barrel length?
Round butt or square butt grips?
ALL of the writing, numbers, and marks on the gun, exactly as they appear, and where they appear.0 -
Would you perhaps be referring to an immage displayed on the grip of your revolver?
There are a lot of very knowledgable folks here that are happy to help people out, but you need to help us, help you.
Your posts are generally very limited in information, and so far have been about older firearms, including "Hardware" guns that were often made by more than one mfg. for a particular retailer.
Knowing the area around Salem the country should be rich with "farm" or "working man's" guns. Which for the most part were well made but low cost. Nothing fancy. And it sounds like you may have come into a cache of older firearms from a relative or a farm auction, or ???
Anyway, if you want the best possible help you have to give specific information, and with the prices of digital cameras being what they are today you can get one that permits reasonable quality pictures for a pretty low price. In fact if you don't own one already you probably have one or more firends that do so you could, at least initially, borrow one. So with a digital camera and a very small amount of practice you can take "photos" of the gun you need info. on and that will help considerably. If you don't have a means of posting your digital images and/or you don't want to get into it to that level of detail ... you can contact me via email by clicking on the mail icon button at the top of this reply and I will provide you with my direct email so that you can send me the image files and I will then post them for you. And I'm sure there are others that would help you the same way as posting images to most forums is a little involved.
Now back to your 22 revolver ... look it over carefully and let us know what markings you find then maybe we can be of more help.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0
