Both revolvers I own belonged to my grandfathers and were given to me by an uncle on each side of the family.
The first is a Taurus 65 that my grandfather carried while working armored car security after he retired from the smelting/refining company he worked at for years. He gave it to my uncle because my step-grandmother didn't want a gun in the house, who gave it to me a few years down the road as I'm the gun guy of the family. My uncle thought something was wrong with the timing, said it was shaving/spitting lead and I should get it checked out. I haven't experienced that when I've shot it, and I doubt Taurus would have the parts to fix it given its vintage so if I ever to have issues Ill probably just stop shooting it because the value is more sentimental than practical. The grips were ones I swapped out to make it more shootable, kept the originals.

The second one was on the other side of the family. It's a S&W Model 15-3 that my uncle bought for my grandpa decades ago. When he passed away it went back to my uncle, and he gave it to me some years later because I'm the main gun guy on that side of the family too and he wanred someone who would appreciate it to have it. The grips on this one were also swapped out to make it more shootable, but I kept the originals.
