A gun safe filled with such excellent revolvers!

I dug out and reinstalled the original 1991 hardwood grips on my 686-3, replacing the Pachmayr hard rubber 'conceal' grips I purchased way back then. Not only much better looking, but provide a much better purchase and not much harder to conceal. The 686-3 was my first EDC, and has now re-earned the #1 position over my Kimber .45. For now.

for comparison, the Pachmayr's...along with the 686's buddies.

Just the Smiths.

Starting in Sept I began contacting the S&W Performance Center to rebarrel my 4" 686 to 6" or 7". They finally took it in early Nov and I got it back a couple weeks ago. Haven't had it to the range yet (just too busy with work). I never liked the velocities of the 4" barrel compared to my 6" Ruger Security Six. Now she sports a brand new 7" tube.

Wow! Sweet!

Upgraded my Hogue monogrips on my M629 to their G10 square Butt conversion.....better grip = tighter groups and less felt recoil. Way better looking as well, have the same on my M422.

A chorus line of Smiths?

A new Uberti

Click to expand...

Great looking wheel gun ... is the knife a old Camillus ?

S&W Model 15. Made around 1973.

New Uberti Bonney. 3 clicks, and feels great. I like the birds head grip and case hardened steel. Too bad I can’t find .45 cartridges anywhere.

I haven’t been able to find a dedicated Uberti thread yet, but would like to learn more about them. The guy at my local shop said this was a new one made in Maryland, and I thought he said the company is owned by Ruger (?). But the person fetching the box said something about Stoeger. Just trying to figure out what all that means.

*Edit: Stoeger is affiliated, but Ruger is not. Either I misheard or the guy misspoke. Seems it's all under the Beretta umbrella. Beretta owns Benelli, which owns Stoeger, who at one time imported Uberti's, but since moving to MD, Uberti's are made in the USA, and according to my local guy, made much better than they used to be. At least that's how I'm understanding it. Maybe you all knew this already. I'm still fairly new at this.

Nothing like a 66.....

or a 3" S&W 65.....

S&W Model 12 no dash flat latch

22 caliber Colt Diamondbacks.

Upper left: 27-2 five inch barrel. Upper right: Pre 27 six inch barrel. Bottom: 27-2 3 1/2 barrel with Grashorn stag grips.

Old model Ruger Super Blackhawk. The barrel was cut down to 4 5/8 inches and the ejector rod housing and grip frame refinished. This was a thing back in the 70s.

The knife is a Marbles woodsman, circa 1925.

Love the Model 27 trio especially with the three different barrel lengths!

Also admiring your cut down Ruger Super Blackhawk with the two-tone look! Downright snazzy!

I purchased a used Super Blackhawk in 1990-91 ?
At a LGS at a great deal $275 OTD with 100rds of ammo ...It was my woods carry gun for years ... I ran alot of magnum loads through it over the years .. I killed a hawg with it and my brother killed not only hawgs but a Black bear with it ... in 2009 I traded to my brother for something or another... I can’t remember what at this time .. my brother used it as his four wheeler gun .. I think he sold it a couple of years ago ...

I carry this Ruger GP 100 whenever I am out in the woods around the homestead . Have been for several years now. I load it with my own 180gr. LWFNGC 18 Brinell projectiles over a pretty close to max load of 2400 for large animal encounters.

My love for .41magnums is only equaled by my love for my 1911’s.
