Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Favorite Revolvers?

It's a nice one. The reason mine has the dragoon grip is because it was originally a 7.5" barrel. I had it cut back along the way.

I have a set of the rubber Hogue grips for mine too. They really help with the heavy loads, but are tough to look at.

Nice. Is that a .32 Long or a .22?

I had that done to one back about 1990. A worthy modification back in the days when the 4-5/8" barrel wasn't a factory option.

4" model 10 with a pencil barrel

I have several Smith revolvers that i like a lot but if I had to choose My favorite it would be the 629 5" barrel.....A Model 617 10 shot with a 6" barrel is a pile of fun to shoot and I really like a model 686 with a 3" barrel and a Model 627 with a 5" barrel is also great fun......Hb

I don't know how many favorites you can have, but this is another one...

Cool grips......Hb

This one gives me the big jollies lately.





With Tyler T that came in the mail yesterday.

Love that 66.

686 CS1 3",19-4 ,66-2, 2 27s-2, 25-5 MagnaPort Custom .45Colt, 25-3 3" .45 ACP, 25-2 J. Jovino, 686-5 machined for moon clips

Ya'll killin me with all these nice revolvers.If I had money to burn the 7 1/2" S.B Hunter would take a trip to one of the custom smiths for a 6" octagon barrel, a tune-up and who knows what else.

I like my 4" GP100 .357 a lot but lately the 5 1/2" Flattop .44 spcl have been getting shot a bunch. With a 4 1/2" barrel it might take the GP's preferred spot for general use. Reckon I might have to look for a shorter barrel model.

1977 S&W 27-2



1916 S&W .44 special

Back before the 1980s, it was actually a good argument that one should prefer five or six rounds of a sure thing vs 8 to 16 rounds of maybe.

As machines go, the revolver is simpler in one respect, in that its operation is controlled from start to finish by a pull of the trigger powering mechanical actions leading to ignition of the next round, while an auto pistol does the operation all on its own after the trigger is pulled to the point the hammer is released, powered not by the muscles of the finger, but expanding gas from burning powder direction the extraction of a spent case and replacement of a fresh one from a magazine into the chamber. That introduces factors that are inherently less certain, since not powered directly by the movement of a trigger finger at every stage along a more certain mechanical chain of events. But they've made such strides in reliability of the gas-powered action that it's about equal to the revolver now, assuming you acquire a model that's currently in common use by major military or police agencies.

Damn Holmes, I can't compete with that but I really like my 4" GP100 357 Mag and Ruger Single Six Convertible.

That's a nice group of snubbies!

I was only able to show them because of your patience in helping me through the "Posting pics process"...Thanks Greg !! Oh, and there is more from where those came from .

One of my favorites.....

Huntington-built .44 Mag Bisley.....
6-shot oversized cylinder, Krieger barrel, Bowen Target rear sight, Belt Mountain base pin, custom walnut grips.....

That .44 Mag Bisley is a beauty !

Very nice.
