I can't get enough Colt SAA's...





And of course the killingest of all a Model 57 8 3/8 inch 41 mag...

All these pics of custom grips is makin' me drool...

Cut it out..

50 year old police surplus $80 from AIM surplus, Colt police positive I reamed out from 38 special to 357 mag and I hack sawed an inch off the frame.

With 8 more grains LIL'GUN than max published for 357 mag, it kicks harder than any 44 mag with book loads.

If John Wayne were still alive, he would want this gun.
It is not for wimps.

Awesome grips Tony

Ruger GP100



Toreass 441 .44 special



These 2 revolvers get the majority of handgun duties around my place.

Absolute favorite is a 3" 66.

OK Friends,

This is really hard for me. I know that without a doubt one is my 6.5" Model 29-2. It was my first Model 29. Life was pretty simple at the time I got it. I never had an issue of which revolver to grab. I had sold my 5.5" SBH and the new (to me) Model 29 was my only centerfire magnum revolver.

I would just grab it and my only big game rifle (a .270) and my bedroll and go hunt. It has logged one hell of a lot of miles on my hip, up and down many, many mountains. It has been right next to my head at night as I slept on the back of my flatbed pickup or under on the ground. It was my do it all outdoorsman revolver for a long time:



Here is where it gets tougher.

I have a 5" 29 Classic that I have spent a lot of time with in the field. Since getting it, the 6.5" 29-2 went into semi retirement. The 5" barrel is just so damn practical. Heck the 5" N frames are NIRVANA to me!

This gun has slayed literally hundreds and hundreds of critters too. It is also featured (along with a couple other .44s I own)in a book on .44s by a gunwriter for American Handgunner and Guns.:



The problem lies in that I had a 5" 29-2 built by SDM Fabricating w/o the full underlug profile of the "Classic" and I feel like I am cheating on a faithful wife when I shoot it instead of my Classic.

Here is the temptress:

This old Model 17 is a favorite .22LR revolver. It shoots with rifle precision and makes me look like a better shooter than I really am:

Mackay,

I for one condone you cheating on the older ones. That one you had built is pretty sweet. Give her, her turn.

Nice revolvers all around.
