I would really like to have a Registered Magnum someday. Part of me really wants a 3.5” to play Gman but honestly I’d be fine with about any length as long as it’s factory. They could be ordered with any length between 3.5”-8.75” in 1/8” increments so there’s a myriad of possibilities.
Another one I would like is a Model of 1950 .45 Target. Short cylinder ACP guns with 6.5” barrels but they are the skinny barrels, same profile as the 27 and 38/44 Outdoorsman. I’m not crazy about the 1955s due to their heavy barrels, they just don’t have the balance of the 1950s and I passed up a nice one last week for that reason.
When I lived in AK a friend sold an awesome New Service Target in 44 Russian and Special. Adjustable sights, the fancy checkered stocks, and at least %85 original finish. I’m not a big Colt guy, prefer the lock work and feel of S&W, but that thing was awesome. I heard last week that it’s available again but I’m sure it’s more than I can afford without selling something I don’t want to sell.

I had a Nickle BHP and liked looking at it...but the hammer chewed my mitts hard and it went away.
My 41 is now Skookum................. No Bite ring or skeleton hammer from The Mustache cures that and improves triggers. Couple it with their sear and lob the mag safety in the bay for the win. Skip the connector, requires machine work on the slide and isn’t necessary. Love me some HPs.

I have two grail guns so far. The first is an old model Ruger remade by Bowen into a #5 gun complete with the #5 base pin latch and Paul Persinger carved ivories and the second is also by Hamilton and it is a lightweight package on a USFA gun with ivories by the late Jim Alimo (sp) of Nutmeg Sports and engraving by Brian Powley.

I’ve welded and shaped beavertails onto them before, still don’t really dig it. I don’t have catcher’s mitt hands either though. Laughridge of C&S is “The Mustache” BTW, good dude with great wares.

Colt 2nd gen .357. Not really difficult to find, if you want to pay thru the nose. I wanted a nice one, so I bought a mint NRA commemorative (much cheaper) and had Alan Harton put an extra barrel I had on it, then fit some 2nd gen stocks to the frame. He then tuned the action. It shoots to point of aim at 25 yards with 158 grain HPs and .38 wadcutters. I'm happy. Bob Here's a before pic:

When it matters only the best for me..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Oh, great, something else i gotta have...😳
Probably something modest: a 2nd gen colt saa 44-40, 5.5”, nice, solid, but shooter grade. Have had one in my mitts a few times over, priced accurately but were collector condition and price, and can’t bring self to shoot the sheet out of one of those, it’ll be gone forever.
Someday it’ll line up. Likely well before gunner calls out of the blue to sell me that London best .303 brit sxs. Not now, dammit, my fire’s full of irons.
Golldammed motion detector lights. A guy can’t even piss off his porch in peace any more.

Damn! Fine revolvers...both! I'm pining for some Ivories just like that!

Don't remember a Grail gun, but they did have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. (1970s reference!) Mike If you even find yourself needing to use it, remember that thou shall count to three. No more. No less. Five is right out.John

Mine was an early, pre-WWI, 1911 Colt Gov't Model. Scratched that itch last month, and it wasn't cheap. After running the gamut of 1911's in various iterations from various manufacturers through the years I wanted to get back to basics. I'm glad I did- it's kind of refreshing in a way.

I'll have to think about this for a while.

Killed more than a few Brownies,that were in a foul mood with same. Am endeared to the platform,due them merits...despite the shortcomings.....................
