johncolt51 needs to sell a SW.38

[johncolt51]

Hi…I'm new to this…hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction, to sell my S&W Double Action Airweight .38. It has hardly been used, but I'd like to get more than the pawn shop is offering. It has a stiff trigger action, and my wife can't hit the broad side of a barn with it. Bought it in 2012, but haven't shot more than 50 rounds, with it. I live north of the DFW area…more in Texoma area.

Welcome.

FWIW, that trigger pull can be reduced quite a bit with a simple spring job. About $10 in parts and a little bench time if you are at all mechanically inclined. There are plenty of Youtube videos showing how to do it. As far as accuracy, J frame S&W are not target guns, but they are great QC defense guns. They are very reliable and simple to use guns. Hitting center of mass at 3-5 yards should be doable for just about anyone that can point a finger. But I get it if you want to sell it for something else. If it's a no lock model it will command a better price, but be prepared for about a 25 - 30% depreciation if you want to move it quickly.

Welcome to the forum. You might want to spend the money for a trigger job. We had the same experience with my wife's 38 air weight. Smith said it was probably about 16lbs from the factory.
