I’ve only got one big-bore snubby, but I do like the way they look! Nice gun you’ve got there!

I always wanted to make a 3" M1917, but unless I happen into a 'non-collectible" one like Michael did, probably not going to happen.
As always, nice work, Michael!

Awesome old S&W, beautiful setup, can't wait to see the holster with those gorgeous grips sticking out...
Love big calibers with snub barrels, they just feel right....

No idea! Picked it up on GB. Whoever cut it down also slicked up the action. It’s a nice little revolver.

What qualifies a big bore ?

I say .44 and up. All mine are .45s, either .45 ACP or .45 Colt.

Different folks have different definitions, but most agree that .44-caliber and up qualify. I count a .41 Magnum as a 'big-bore' but not everyone agrees.

I have always looked at the 44 caliber and up as big bore, but agree that the 41mag preforms more like a big bore than a mid caliber.

For me, the 41 is a Magnum, but not a big bore. I kinda feel that way about 44 mag too, but I guess if the caliber starts with a 4 it's ok to call it a big bore...

I love big bore snubbies! I have a severely snubberized Charter Arms in .44 sp that has 'stories' I'm quite sure!

Darn it, Tinker! Once more you make me feel Inadequate!
Great work!
I am surprised M’Sahib has not taken it from you before you could show it to us though.

Some of my favorite shooters. I call them my "Woods Guns".
First is my Colt New Service, in .45 Colt
This one started out as a very ratty Smith 1917, still in .45 ACP.
