I am one of the lucky ones who owns a pre lock model 657 Mountain Gun. Keep looking and you just might find one sometime, although they can be a little pricey. The 41 mag is my sentimental favorite round, and I have the Mountain Gun and a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk also in 41 mag. It is an...

Being a sentimental person myself, and where you mentioned this was your dad's gun, I would keep it and make the modifications. I think 5 inch would be a great length. I also had a 7 1/2 inch Redhawk at one time, but I just could not warm up to the long barrel. 6" is about as long as I want...

Yes - my wife surprised me many years ago with a Ruger 22-250. She actually had one of her friends show it to me two weeks before - saying she was giving it to her husband and asked if I thought he would like it. She wanted to see my reaction, and see if I was jealous (I was). To my surprise...

H & K USP 45 compact. I just bought one, having had a full size USP many years ago. I liked that gun very much, but as is usually the case, I sold it to a friend. I decided to get the compact USP this time. For a "compact" it is quite large - as big as some company's full size models, but...

H & K USPc 45 stainless. I just got it, and have not fired it yet. It's what I was looking for, and is currently my favorite. (I have had a full size USP 45 stainless before). wyatte

My favorite is my S & W model 60-9 with the 2 1/8" barrel. I also have a 60-10 with a 3" barrel, but the shorter one is my best ccw revolver. I use 38 Specials in both. wyatte

I own both a 2" and 3" model 60, both of them being 357's. The 2" would be my go to gun for serious ccw considerations. I do agree with rcmodel, in that 357 ammunition would most likely not be used in it much, if any, even though they are capable. I view mine as ultra durable 38's because of...

My response is a little off the mark from the OP's question, but the reason I like the 41 mag is, it is my sentimental favorite. It was the first N frame that I bought soon after getting married. Even my wife thought it was beautiful (a 6" model 657 ) which I let get away from me. Over the...

Most likely a 4" gp 100/S & W 686 type gun. wyatte

I bought the 3" gp 100, with the thought that this size would be a great truck or home gun, plus if need be, would work in a pinch to conceal for a while when out in the hills etc. I suppose if I were limited to only one, it would probably be the 4". I have several different options however...

I actually "settled" for the 41 mag too - 4 of them. I like the caliber. I would personally get a 6" model 57. I had one and let it get away. I intend to get another. wyatte

I don't know if it is the absolute lowest recoil wise, but the full size Sig p226 is a joy to shoot, and very accurate and reliable. wyatte

I think a lot of us go through this sort of thing. I am now on my 3rd S & W model 60-10 revolver with a 3" barrel. Why? - because I sold the first two, and then realized how much I liked them, and acquired another. I have come full circle a number of times, and spent a lot of money just to end...

I would buy one too, although I want a 44 mag version of it. wyatte

Whalerman - I also don't reload, and I own four of them! I guess I would be labeled more of an owner than a shooter, but we do go out periodically and blast away. We just had our family traditional pumpkin shoot, something that the kids, who are now mostly grown, look forward to every year...

I have two 41 mags, one a 6" model 657-3, and a 657-4 Mountain Gun. I let a very pristine blued 6" pinned and recessed model, complete with the presentation case and all tools get away from me last year, that I regret very much. I bought it for a great price, and for some reason found the...

I joined THR just now so I could become part of the "Association." I too am a 41 mag fan. Bought my first shortly after getting married over 30 years ago. It was a beautiful 657 no dash with a high polish finish if I remember right. That one is unfortunately long gone, but I now have a 657-3...
