Love the Model 14. But with my admitted limitations as a shooter, I find the Combat Masterpiece/Model 15 the better choice, especially with the same three "Ts." Generally the Model 14 commands a lesser premium price when pristine compared to the Model 15. Or so I've found.

Wait until next week; it'll be higher. And the week after....... 😀

Weight as a consideration; according to the S&W home site for 4-inch barrels: K frame 66: 36.9 ounces L frame SSR 686 skeletonized barrel: 38.3 ounces L frame 686 full lugged barrel: 40.3 ounces

Although I prefer the Match Champion in original factory trim with fixed sights, I think Chief TJS has produced a winner! Being able to say "this is my baby" is oftentimes what owning a gun is all about.

Uh huh, one's too many and a thousand is not enough. Hello, I'm a The High Road member and I'm a gunaholic. It's been 16 days since my last......

If in the '70s heyday of police using revolvers, had they clamored loudly and regularly for fixed sighted handguns, sales of heavy duty revolvers would have continued briskly. And today such models as the 13, 20 and 57 would be more than plentiful on the used market. As it was the Models 10 and...

The OP has stated he is not really familiar with revolvers. Best he start with the best specimen he can afford, not some piece that requires greater knowledge to get it trim.

What I want to know, did a pitbull chew on the barrel near the muzzle. The left side looks ugly.

The gun has not been cared for; underneath grips may reveal a nightmare of more neglect. Chambers all crudded; suspect barrel the same. Suspect under side plate more crude.

Pass. Many nicer Model 10s out there. Or get the Model 15.

With difficulty. What's a magazine? Don't have any of them.

Personally, I load Long Colt cartridges into the clips of my Colt 1911s. :)

Beyond my ken but I do believe the metallurgy must be weighed against the pressures of a particular load level. But I don't think one can assume that the metallurgy of modern SAAs are all the same for manufacturer to manufacturer. Anyone here guaranteeing that the metallurgy for Colts...

Regarding "The Walking Dead" I only watched one season. Being filmed in the Atlanta area I knew one of the zombies and I wanted to see him stagger along. His day job was working in a gun store. As for a Diamondback, I had a 6-incher decades ago. Couldn't shoot it worth a hoot but it was a...

In post #38 I once again pushed for the Colt SAA. But in reality, if you like the SA type guns, the Ruger Vaquero and more so the Blackhawk will fill the bill The Blackhawk is pretty much the culmination of what Elmer Keith and others sought in a SA. And that's practical Real West vs. "Old West."

To 3 Sport, Won't dispute the growing quality of fhe Uberti and Pietta clones. But unless you are into Cowboy Action Shooting all the time, why spend the money on multiple guns to compete. That will cost you the same as getting a Colt. And more. Get the real thing. Get a Colt SAA.

If OP is that much into the "Old West" then I strongly suggest getting a Colt. But if price and practicality are foremost, particularly if the gun will face rugged use, then a Ruger New Vaquero. No matter how practical and how good the Italian clones maya be, they are not Colts and the OP will...

When the HD was issued for the hotter .38 Specials, S&W had no "middle" frame size such as the L-frame today. So S&W used its N-frame to be sure to handle the newer cartridge. At the same time, Colt reminded its buyers that the Official Police had proven to be able to handle the new round...

If it is the same finish that I had on a Python, a bit of polishing with Flitz will turn into a bright nickel specimen. Not saying that should be done. Best leave it in factory trim. But for the barrels, always thought of those models as Pythons in disguise.

Oh shut up! I'm at that age but I can probably still whomp you. You won't be able to outrun me and my 4-wheeled walker.
