If you could own only one Revolver, What would it be.

I like the Model 66 SW

[444]

4" Stainless Ruger GP-100

[dude]

Dan Wesson .357mag with 4" under-cut barrel

They can be found used for well under $250 and one would be hard pressed to find a more robust&accurate design.............. not to mention the whole interchange-a-bility thing (I just picked up a 2" barrel/shroud for $25)

[M58]

M58:D

[Mike Irwin]

Pre sell-out Smith & Wesson Model 19, 4".

[bpisler]

625 mountain gun in 45 colt or my 65-3 3" RB.

[RCL]

One good revolver to cover everything you could possibly use a revolver for?
My choice would be a Freedom Arms .454 with a 4 3/4" barrel. :D

[Kahr carrier]

Smith & Wesson 686 Plus 357 Mag.:)

[Neal Bloom]

4" .357 magnum in either Ruger or s&w l or n frame.

[Albert Shear]

S&W 625 45acp.

[Rob96]

My Ruger 4" stainless with full lug and adj. sites of course.

[fallingblock]

They are extremely rugged and simple to maintain:D

[Swamp Yankee]

Dan Wesson Model 715 with 4 inch barrel and partial underlug shroud attached. Money saved on a used one can be applied to a set of grips to your liking if the factory's don't suit.
Take Care

[Marko Kloos]

S&W Model 19, 4". The One Gun That Does It All.

[Harbinger]

Ruger .44 mag Blackhawk Flattop

[Quantrill]

S&W model 29, 4" barrel. It will do anything well. Quantrill

[jar]

4" M-27

[John]

S&W 342PD, because it's the one I can keep with me all the time.

[tbeb]

S&W Model 29, 4" barrel.

[Neil Casper]

Again, I choose the 4" S&W Model 19.
:cool:

[Baba Louie]

If I could only own ONE (1) Revolver?

Dan Wesson 15-2. Obvious reasons, .357/.38 thing, interchangable barrels, grips...

Its pretty darned accurate. The blue(ing) is so deep and so black it looks like black chrome.

And its a little off the beaten path.

Or maybe the old Ruger Single Six w/ both cylinders, .22 lr and .22 WMR.

But probably, the DW

Adios

[Mark G.]

Ruger Speed Six with 2 3/4 inch barrel 357. It is the only one I own!!

[Gordon]

629-2 Mountain gun 2 1/2 lbs and as powerful as you want!

[Fel]

Colt Single Action Army
45 Colt
4-3/4 in. barrel

Took me 20 years to get one, I'll be keeping it last.

[DeltaElite]

M29, 4 inch version. :D

[Standing Wolf]

Six-inch Python.

[Poohgyrr]

I immediately thought, NO doubt, I already have it. The 4" S&W M24. I don't hunt Kodiaks or Polar bears, so this will do anything I want. And do it with less recoil than my much loved .357's.....

Then I started reading all the previous posts. Duhhh. Any of a couple different S&W's, like a 640 or 65LS, would be just fine. So would the snub Speed Six. And hey, if I can't have my 4" M24, then I guess I'd settle ;) for a 4" M29. And the Dan Wesson thing makes a lot of sense too. And I don't know if I could give up a 3.5" S&W .357. Having a good Python would be good as well.....

I dunno, I dunno.......
:confused:

[seeker_two]

WISH I HAD: Bowen Alpine Redhawk .45Colt w/ 4" bbl.

WHAT I HAVE: Blackhawk .357/9mm 6.5" bbl.

One day, I hope to move the Alpine to the other category...:D

[The Silver Bullet 1719]

S&W 10-5 .38 Special.

[Jason Demond]

S&W Model 27.

[mikey357]

...a Smith&Wesson Model 686...four-inch barrel...now, do I want a "Traditional" six-shot cylinder, or the seven-shot "Plus" version???....mikey357

[G. Glock]

4" Model 29. Elmer Keith was right.

In fact, I bought one earlier today at a gun show, a good old pin barrel/recessed chamber Model 29-2. Great shooter.

[Gila Jorge]

Go with the Smith 629 Mtn Gun or 4" regular 629
44mag either way most likely shoot 44 Spcls most of the time with the option to go heavy...just can't beat N Frame Smiths.

[chaim]

While I like my 6" S&W 586 better, if I could only keep one it would be my 3" S&W 65LS. The barrel is long enough for a good sight radius, the K-frame will hold up to the kind of use I put it through (mostly .38s and +Ps, occasional magnums for fun) and should I ever end up in a CCW situation (when/if I move or MD changes its CCW laws) it will be a far better CCW.

I would also be happy to consider any 2 1/2-4" K-frame (or equivelent) .357mag. I hope to have a shorter barreled L-frame and/or GP100 within the next year or so, once I do I'll know better if it would be almost as good for carry possibilities and general use, but my guess is it will be a bit big for an only revolver.

[Ed Straker]

I already own them. S&W 686 that used to belong to the Colorado State Patrol, Ruger Security Six that says 'Made in the 200th Year of American Liberty'.

[MR.G]

686 Plus 4"

[Brian Williams]

S&W mod 13 round butt 3" heavy barrel

Might change when I pick up my 586 4" from the shop. I am going to have the under lig milled off to look similar to the 19




Dream - S&W 58 round butt (fixed sights) converted to a 45 Colt with a 4" heavy barrel.

[charleym3]

Stainless GP 100 3 inch. I'm really sorry I let go of the one that I had.

[muleshoe]

The one my boy is hanging onto.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid50/pdfa710465486312c87b89ca1e82ae0e4/fca7c295.jpg

It's a 7.5" magnaported Redhawk in a 44mag. I'm sure there are mucho better revolvers out there, but this one suits me just fuine. It's a deer killin' machine.

[Gary A]

That would not be a happy situation but my choice would be a Ruger GP-100, four inch, fixed sight, short underlug .357 in stainless steel. It would not be the best in any one category, probably, but would cover more bases very well than anything else (for me). I have one and it is my favorite revolver.

[Tamara]

Tough call... Probably the PC13, with my 4" 625-3 coming in a close second.

[Frenchy]

My first one...pre-28.

[MarineTech]

Dan Wesson 7460.

[frankie357]

My Ruger Security Six 4" barrel, adj sights.

[JMLV]

Mine has a complete complement of barrels from 2.5" - 8" its a tackdriver too!

[Mark IV Series 80]

My older S&W Model 66.
Exceptionally accurate.
Not too heavy to carry around all day.

[3 gun]

S&W 629 Classic. Close second is my S&W 586. The 44 edges it out because it's stainless and has more power available.

[608]

you just cannot get the quality and price value from no other gun(new). Taurus 608 all the way!

[10-Ring]

I've only owned it a week & I've only shot 150 rounds through it, but I really like my 4" mod 19 :) Big thumbs up on this one!

[Robert inOregon]

657 custom. If you're only going to have one, might as well go all out.

[BigIron]

Nice gun Robert. Can I ask what grips are those and where did you get them?

BigIron

[Rinspeed]

I would have to say a early 686.

[D_Burchfield]

Pre-sell out 686 or Mod 19 in .357 mag

[vulcan]

Make mine a S&W 27 83/8" bbl. or any N frame for that matter!

[Robert inOregon]

Nice gun Robert. Can I ask what grips are those and where did you get them?

[Sam]

My 4" M24 Smith.
Fast, light, easy, reliable and as powerful or weak as I care for on that particular day.

[Poohgyrr]

All Right Sam !!!!!

.44 Specials rule !!!!

:neener: ;)

[cratz2]

I'm sure I could live with my 686 but all being equal, I really like the Model 19. Also fancy the Model 27s.

My favorite revolver is my Dan Wesson 22lr on a 357 Mag frame but wouldn't choose it as my only handgun.

[BigIron]

Thanks Robert.

[TechBrute]

4" 686+ Stainless, rubber grips, converted to accept moonclips. I like my Miculek grips for competition, but Hogue rules for retention in adverse conditions.

Colt SAA .45 Colt (blued / 5.5" bbl)

[Mastrogiacomo]

I'm planning on getting the 686 myself. Wish it were my first revolver...:rolleyes: :D

[doctorj]

My 4" M65 would be it.

[kannonfyre]

A Stainless Steel .357 magnum Taurus Tracker.

[tex_n_cal]

This one is blued, but a 5" heavy barreled Smith .44 mag can be an awfully useful tool.:D

[4thHorseman]

Colt Python.:)

[valnar]

My 686Plus-4 4" barrel

Why six when you can have seven?

-Robert

[caz223]

686 lew horton special 2 1/2", made around 1980.
Best DA trigger I got.

[Dr.Rob]

Unfair question!

I'd be tempted to say my old Colt new service 1917 Army in 45 acp, but a 5.5 inch 44 mag vaquero would be more versatile.

[Moondancer]

Model 19, 4". Another vote for that. Had one and let it go and sure do wish I had it back!

[Coastey]

My one good revolver would be a 686 round butt, 4 inch bbl.

[jacketch]

I centerfire it would be a S&W K38 Combat Masterpiece (pre1970),

in rimfire it would be a H&R model 999 breakaction in 22lr. Both extremely accurate handguns.

[3 gun]

S&W 629 Classic. Close 2nd is a S&W 586. Both pre deal.
