Revolvers

[GASoline71]

I just bought this yesterday. Been wanting a Smith and Wesson revolver ever since I saw the first Dirty Harry movie when I was young.

I would love to have a Model 29 in .44 Magnum like Clint carried in that flick.

But I settled on a Stainless Steel Model 686 .357 Magnum. I'm lookin' forward to runnin' some rounds through it. I got some .38 Special +P rounds as well as some .357 Magnum rounds. The +P's are a little cheaper.

My next one will be a .44 Magnum.

Anybody else a revolver fan?

I've got my grandfathers Single Six. The rest are are autos. I'd like a Blackhawk, or maybe an Alaskan.

I like to call em wheelguns. My only firearm was a Colt Python and it was probably more gun than I needed.

Nice pistol, Gary!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Nice Gary.

I don't have a 357 anymore
Still have my 38 police sp

Nice revolver Gary, real nice. What you need now is a winchester underlever carbine chambered in .357 magnum to match.

20 years ago I bought a Taurus 357. I was told that when S&W retooled, Taurus bought their old tooling and this was the source of my Taurus 357. I went to the range regularly for the first year or two, then it sat untouched for several years before I finally sold it. It worked well and I never had a jam or misfire but it was heavy, bulky and had a good kick.

Is that a fiber optic front sight?? Never seen one with a diaganal fiber befor

 

[Strikermike]

I have a pair of 44's. Limited edition S&W, one 629 one 624. Both have 3 inch barrels and rounded butt frames. They have been sitting unused for years. I may consider selling them.

If I were to ever buy another .44, I'd buy another Colt Anaconda, PERIOD! Best damn gun I ever owned! Man I miss it! If you can come up with the cash for one, I'd say snag it, but plan around $1k for one.
My second choice would be a Ruger Super Redhawk, I've heard to many problems with the sear spring on the Smiths to feel confident with one.

686 was always one of my favorites. green with envy

Love the wheel guns.

I had a 44 special, 44 mag Ruger redhawk and this Ruger casull .454

Took these on trade on the .454

Then traded the .40 for 2 other guns.

Just a regular ramped sight with a red notch on it.

Before the auto's took over the 4" 686 was the duty gun for westerville police dept.

 

[GASoline71]

It does have the white outline rear sight.

That certainly is a nice Revolver!
I had an early model 29,the Barrel had been cut back from 8'' to 6'' this didn't effect accuracy or function,it just made it more affordable.It was a very nice and accurate Weapon.My last .44Mag was a Super Black Hawk,looked cool with some fake Ivory Grips on it.

I've just recently started collecting revolvers. Here are three that I like.

The top is a Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk in .44 magnum with the 10.5" bull barrel. The bottom is an H & R Model 199 Sportsman in .22 and in the middle is a Herters Single in .401 calibre. I had to special order the .401 ammo from a guy in Arizona.

I'm currently looking for a Super Redhawk.

 

[Cut4fun]

Picked up a H&R 9 shot .22 wheel-gun on trade for a .38 derringer I used to carry in my saddle bags. The H&R I got looks a lot like the bottom one you posted. Think it is a older H&R though.

I use it for a finish off gun.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Yup, mine's a 9-shot too. Is yours a single or double action? Any markings on it? The 199 is a single action; mine is the First Variation made between Oct 1932 and April 1933.

 

[Cut4fun]

Model 929 .22 L. R. made in USA. Gardner, Mass. H&R on handles double action

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I would love a 22 revolver. I had more fun with that one of my step dad's

 

[vharrison]

Very nice Gary!

 

[Cut4fun]

I forgot about the Dan Wesson .22 on their .357 frame I used to have. No longer have for pic, traded for another Horton hunter crossbow.

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Nice pistol there Gary, mate of mine has the exact one........let loose with it a few times and must say I really enjoy shooting 'wheel guns'. My next pistol is gonna be a .45 S&W revolver, probably the 325 Nightguard.

 

[sotc]

Why not a .44?

 

[Thor's Hammer]

.44 vs .45? .44 magnum has nearly twice the energy of the .45 acp
