Gotta like Diana. How classic but I've never known her to have dogs.

"Gotta like Diana. How classic but I've never known her to have dogs."
Gary, you're joking, right?
In Renaissance art she's depicted with Greyhounds a lot, for some reason. Probably their speed. One other possibility for her being shown with dogs is the legend of Actaeon. She and her nymphs were skinny dipping in a pool when Actaeon apparently came by and took in the sights. To punish him she turned him into a stag or a deer, and his dogs (he was hunting with them) tore him apart.
She's also apparently know as the divine protector of animals, or as the lady of beasts.

Mike, we'll miss you on THR. Your illustrations are some of the very best I've seen hereabouts - - Clear, well-lighted, beautifully composed, with excellent captioning.
I know nothing of the technical aspects of posting images except by link, but I know the technical gurus are working on the slowness and difficulty. I hope you'll check in from time to time and give the "Testing . . . Testing" forum a try to see if things have improved.
Be assured that we will feel the lack of your talents and purty pictures.

"'tis art indeed.
But 'tisn't Diana, 'tis Artemis."
Artemis -- In Greek Mythology, the virgin goddess of the hunt and the moon and twin sister of Apollo.
Diana -- In Roman Mythology, the virgin goddess of hunting and childbirth, traditionally associated with the moon and identified with the Greek Atemis.
Same woman, same functions, different names.
Those pesky Romans. :)

Nice piece you have there ...... I used to shoot with a guy a lot way back .. PPC included ...... and he had a very similar conversion (by a guy in UK called Les Korth IIRC) .. shot incredibly well. Does that extended cyl latch stay done up? Guess it enagages much like the std. Nice idea.

December 6, 2003, 07:57 PM
Pretty good then semf ... it is surprising what can be done on a scanner.
Word of warning tho to some ..... it is all too easy to get scratches on the glass when takin pics of things metallic ... so be careful. I did it .. just the once!
Other thing semf is, that more often than not, the pics need adjustment for gamma, maybe sometimes even hue, saturation etc...... oh, and size!!
JMO .. but tho we see some superb pics here .. but it really does not seem necessary to have quite the size and res' often presented. Much bigger than 600 pix and they scroll off horizontally (I could run full screen with my 1280 but prefer a browser window sitting there at approx 800x600 or so). And .. re download times .... something 600 or less can be compressed to not much bigger than 50 - 60k and so download way quicker.
My chosen option would always be .. medium res' for the forum page and a hi-res' available if requested.

The moonclips are a pain! They were a mystery to me until I read the thread linked above.

Finally got a set of grips for my M28, smooth presentation grips at that....
I've got a little additional final fitting to do to make them a perfect fit but they are pretty close as is. I moved my finger groove grips over to the M29 to see if it's an improvement or not in handling, I'll probably ditch the finger grooves once I kick up another set of original style grips. I put the darker grips that used to be on the 29 over on my 38/44 and was really happy with the move.

I bought it back in the early eighties through a gun dealer, who ordered it from John Jovino. I was wondering if anyone knows more about it? Approximate value, how many were made, etc. It looks like the Lew Horton model, but that was not who it was purchased from. It's a 25-2 in .45 acp caliber. Thanks for any information you can give me.
Bart Noir
June 13, 2005, 02:54 PM
progun, I had one! I saw the add in Shotgun News, back in the middle early '80s and talked to my buddy-with-the-FFL. And to answer your question, I can't remember which of the big ads in SGNews I was reading. Sorry about that.
I didn't like the balance and sold it. The way it was built was interesting, since the barrel was so short that there wasn't room for the usual locking parts at the front of the ejection rod. Instead, they did a nice job of putting a spring loaded ball in the frame and a dimple in the crane that the cyclinder swings out on. When the cylinder goes shut, the ball pops into the dimple. It was sorta like, but not quite the same, as the old S&W triple lock in that regard. 'Cept it wasn't a triple, it just made a double lock.
They also filled in the hole in the front of the ejector rod shroud and I could barely see the plug. It was polished and blued quite well.
Bart Noir

June 13, 2005, 04:37 PM
Hi Bart, Thanks for the info. It sounds like you had the same gun. Some of the modifications included: shortened barrel, smaller hammer spur, K frame round butt (with rubber grips) and a smooth trigger instead of the serrated one. I think the red ramp front sight was installed also instead of the target sight. Kind Regards
BluesBear
June 14, 2005, 12:33 AM
There was a 25-3 (in .45 ACP) with a 3" barrel made for (as I recall) Lew Horton. Which was a bit confusing since the 25-3 model number had been used for the cased S&W Anniversary model chambered in .45 Colt. Which was available with only a 6" barrel with a square butt.
But as I recall it had the short ejector rod like their later .44 and .41 models. They were round butt models but they used the N-frame round butt grips which were slightly larger than K-frame grips. I think it was the first Horton limited edition big bore snub.
I recall in the early 1980s (1983?), reading an article in Guns & Ammo about a gunsmith/company converting standard N-frame revolvers to round butt configuration using Pachmayr K-frame grips with barrels shortened to 3".
I also recall later seeing ads for them in Shotgun News.
I think they only made them in .44 and .45. I tried to get one in .41 for off duty carry but I don't think they ever got around to doing that caliber.
I orderd six but never got any.
I suspect you have one of the converted models.
They seem to be bringing a pretty good price these days since all of the later factory made 3" N-Frames were made without pinned barrels.

Blues Bear, Thanks for the info. I knew sombody would know more than I about these revolvers. I too saw them first in Shotgun news. I'm sure I purchased mine through John Jovino, but I guess they were made for Lew Horton. I heard somewhere, that Smith and Wesson actually did the conversion into a carry gun for Lew Horton. I previously thought that some gunsmith was hired to do the conversions. I purchased a matching holster at the time, since I figured it would be hard to find one. It's a pancake style, and has no makers name on it. The quality is excellent and I'm wondering if Smith and Wesson made those also. Thanks again for the info, Progun
BluesBear
June 14, 2005, 08:36 AM
Progun, I don't think the one you pitcured is a Lew Horton. Not if the frame is marked 25-2. What is the serial number? That would go a long way in helping solve the mystery.
To my knowledge, the N-frame snubs actually made by S&W as short barrel guns without the front locking apparatus were the extremely short 2" and 2½" models.
As far as I know, all of the 3" models without front latches were outside conversions. Jovino could very well have been one of the ones marketing such converted revolvers.
Of course I have learned to almost never say never when it comes to what S&W did in the past.

June 15, 2005, 09:16 AM
Blues Bear, You sound quite knowledgable about these. Here's another picture with the crane open. The serial number is N8050XX . I wiped the last 2 numbers out in the picture. Just don't feel comfortable posting complete numbers on the web. As you can see, it is a 3 inch barrel. And it is definitely a 25-2. I still have the sales slip somewhere. I think it was purchased around 1980 or so, but I'd have to check to be sure. Kind Regards, progun

Progun, yeppers that's a 1980 serial number.
I got my first FFL in 1978 and i clearly recall that in the early 1980s there were some customized 3" models floating around. I firmly believe that gave S&W the kick in the a$$ needed for them to produce some themselves.
If I had that gun I'd definitely spend the $30 to get a factory letter for it.
That would show where it was originally shipped and what the original barrel length was.
I forgot to ask earlier about the rollmarks on the barrel.
If there are any I'll wager they're closer to the muzzle end and not centered.
I've searched for years for a Genuine Lew Horton 25-3 but have never even seen one much less found one for sale. Of course I'm sure that if one were found it would be much more than I could ever afford. The going prices for my 3" Horton 29 have become obscene.
I did find a genuine S&W 3" model 57 at a local gunshow about five years ago.
It was new in box and the seller wanted $450 for it. (I even have a witness.)
During the 15 minutes it took be to get back from the ATM it was gone. :fire:
Now according to the real experts, a 3" blued Model 57 doesn't exist.
But I had it in my sweatly hands, and it was real.
So, somewhere in western Washington, somebody has MY gun. :neener:
If your 25-2 is like the other .45 & .44 conversions I have seen, the action will be icy mountain road slick.
And of course the balance is a close second only to a 5" short lug N-frame with target stocks.

After closer examination of the photo it appears that only the word Wesson remains on the left side of the barrel.
That is a sure sign that the barrel was shortened after it left the factory.
Your barrel is also that slightly different "plum" blue that appeared on S&W barrels at that time. That colour only appeared on barrels. Frames and cylinders were always the standard polished blue.
I have a 1981 vintage 6" 57 that has the plum blued barrel. I think it adds a lot to the coolness factor.

'70s model 28-2. Pinned and recessed. Stags by Jay Scott. Silky sweet D/A trigger. Glass rod S/A. I've only shot it once so far but with cheap Blazer 158gr ammo it shot 3.5" at 25 yards with my sorry, shakey hands at the controls.
Ahhhh....Now I'm eyeing a 6.5" 27 that I spotted at a local shop for $360.

Blues Bear, I've attached another picture, with a closer picture of the barrel. My last picture was so bad, it's no wonder you thought it said something on the barrel. Hopefully this is a better picture. There is no prining on either side of the barrel, and is is that plum color you refered to.
BluesBear
June 16, 2005, 04:15 AM
Yeah that's an outside converted model.
This pic ain't any better but I believe you can see the factory barrel configuration and the rollmark.

Progun, sorry for the delay in answering. I haven't been on as much recently and I'm trying to catch up.
Yeah I see them for sale occasionally. Last one i saw in real life was $850! :what: They're getting kinda rare since they didn't make as many blued as the y did stainless. And a lot of the blued ones were full underlug and unfluted cylinder.
There is a 3" 629 that looks like mine.
I considered myself lucky to get $500 for the stainless I was forced to sell last year.
Contact member cdlubbe. I believe he might still have a couple of the each for sale.

If you look at it under a magnifying glass I think it says, "Bullets come out here.
Do not insert into any orifice or use while bathing.
Do not attempt to shoot while operating heavy machinery.
Not approved for airline use."
:neener:
Now Heaven forbid it should actually say anything as important as even one of the four rules.
But it's a real pity that it has to say anything.

FPrice... the Model 29's just look like that! It's almost breath taking in person... these pics don't even do justice to the high-polish bluing on this 1978 vintage S&W. I have another, a 29-3, that has, remarkably, an even nicer finish than this one, if that's possible. They're magnificent revolvers... I never realized the majesty of the 29 until I got my first one just a week ago! Now I have two 29's and they're my most prized S&W revolvers!
I don't enjoy shooting full-house .44 mag loads, though, but found that the caliber becomes a dream caliber for the reloader... you can tailor make nice soft .44 mag loads which are in the .44 special range or go a little hotter for defense use (I use ProLoad's .44 mag "Lite" which has a 200 gr. Gold Dot bullet moving at about 1070 fps from the 4" tube.) This 200 gr. load at 1050 to 1070 is also my practice load. It's a little warm, but still quite gentle on the gun and on the shooter... very enjoyable indeed and makes the .44 mag caliber just pure fun to shoot.
Frenchy.... thanks.. glad you like it... I needed a change from the wood table setting I've been using for awhile.
Not sure if I posted these here in this thread before, but this is another outdoor setting with my 629 Mountain Gun.

The nice thing about the original Charter Arms Uncercover revolvers was that they were made with an all steel frame but a separate alloy grip frame. So you had the strength of a Model 36 that was very close in weight to a Model 37.

Are you saying that based upon the shape of the hammer?

October 18, 2005, 02:49 PM
No, based on the fact that it appears to be a post war, long barrel k-frame target. If it had the model number in the yoke you would have told us it was a model 17.
Based on the hammer I'd say it was late 1940s/early 1950s vintage.

BluesBear,
Good call. Actually, I do carry 6 in the strip. I took those out of the gun for the picture and had the empty speed strip sitting there and thought it would be a nice touch. Not as artistic as some, but I like the looks of the NyClads.
