This is very humble compared to the others being shown, but it's my favorite handgun. I won it for a bid of a little less than $400 on GB. There were only a couple of pictures, so I didn't realize it was a three screw until it arrived at my FFL. It's one of the later three screws, from 1970 or so. The trigger is outstanding.

I really wanted a Single Six but was short on cash. The finish on this one was ruined, and it was missing a small part. I won it for a bid of $120-something. A $10 part and a bottle of cold blue later and it was good to go. It's a good shooter and remembering the price gives me a certain amount of satisfaction.

Not a good picture, but this gives you an idea of what it looked like when I got it. You can see the hole where the cylinder release button is supposed to be.

I also have a Single Six in 32 H&R magnum, a 357 Blackhawk, and a 45 "convertible" Blackhawk. None of them are customized or special in any way, but I sure do enjoy shooting them.

@MaxP What’s the story on the muzzle shrouds on the top two? Bottom two don’t have it, and are pretty dang sweet. On the stainless gun, is it lighting making it look like it has barrel flats or is it milled? Seems almost like a lighting thing.

Those are barrel bands. It serves as a positive stop for the ejector rod housing to butt up against. They are particularly useful on heavy recoil producers. Oh, and they look cool!

That revolver has an octagon barrel.
