Love my S&W 44 Special's

[357smallbore]

My 1985 model 624's are so smooth and shoot worthy. They certainly don't make em like this today. I'm glad I am the proud owner of a piece of S&W revolver history. The 44 Special is truly Special!

 

[W.E.G.]

Beautiful indeed!

Got any picture of them filthy-dirty?

I know that probably sounds weird.

 

[ECVMatt]

I have a 4" and love it! It shoots very well and is fun to boot.

Congrats on a great pair of sixguns!

Not at this time. Taking them next week for 100rd workout though.

I love mine too, it's the one on the lower left,

Have a 4" Mountain Gun, the twin of the pencil barrel .44. It does have a really great feel.
Don't ever recall seeing many 24s; I've stuck with .45ACP or .45 Colt in that platform.

That is a beauty (4"). That's so pretty, it could convert me from a thumb cocker to a trigger cocker.

K frame 44 Specials are just about the coolest thing. One of my dream guns. Thanks for sharing that again.

I’m a .44 Special fan myself, both the S&W 624 version;



And also Rugers GP and Blackhawk:




Like some of the others, I also like the lighter .44 Magnums like the 624 Mountain Gun and L frame Model 69.



Stay safe.

I like 44SPL too.

i like mine, i carry it in a shoulder holster alot while riding one of my 4 wheelers.

Nice revolver.

I like large diameter, slow moving bullet guns.

I have a 3" Lew Horton M624, a 4" M624, a 6-1/2 M624, and a M24-6.

The latter is part of the S&W Classic line of revolvers produced in the mid-2000's. Original Model 24's are about as hard to find as hen's teeth.

Ruger GP100 and Blackhawks are nice revolvers as wel chambered in 44 Special.

Love them stags!

They really look great and go very well with the stainless steel!

The 44 Special is truly Special!

Can't argue with that.
One of the easiest calibers to re-load and to find a good load for.

My 624


And let's not forget Colt has made some nice ones too.

Love my 624 & 24, but I favour the 6.5inch barrel.

 

[eastbank]

i bought a nickle colt single action 5.5" barrel in .44 special used in the late 70,s and it would not do better than 6" groups at 25 yards, i wanted that revolver to shoot so bad i could taste it. but to no avail, many reloads and factory ammo did not help. i sold it to a colt collector who said he didn,t care about the 6" groups. i wish i had sent back to colt to see if they could fix it.

 

[tominboise]

Here's my 624. This gun is fun to shoot!

 

[Steve Milbocker]

Beautiful revolves gentlemen. My 24-3 and David Clements Black Hawk

 

[doubleh]

I am a fan of the 44 special and don't even own one. I have 3 44 magnums that shoot it very well though. I bought the last one specifically to shoot 44 special.

Gotta admit, that 4" 624 is my #1 grail gun... and those antler stocks on ECV's example (with the grip adapter) are the crowning touch, and in the world's finest caliber .44 Special...I'm getting pretty long in the tooth now and have about given up on finding one...but ya never know...Rod Great pics guys....

I am with you all the way on 44 Special. I grew up reading Elmer Keith, Skitter Skeleton and latter on Sheriff Jim Wilson. There is nothing like a revolver that is specificity chambered for .44 Special. The tapered barrel of S&Ws is especially pleasing to my eyes and the way a 4” points and balance is like nothing. These two are my favorites. I would have to get pretty hungry to part with either. It would be hard to keep house without a good .44 Special revolver around.

That's almost exactly what people said in 1985 about their 1965 models.

The bottom gun in this picture is my 2001-ish Heritage model 24, with grips by the late Roy Fishpaw:

Indeed sir, two beauties there, to be sure; especially the Clement customized Blackhawk!

Currently I don't have a S&W in .44 Special but I do have a really nice Ruger Flattop Blackhawk to play with, for the time being!

You have some very nice looking revolvers. Love the way case hardening looks.

That barrel length with those ivory grips makes that Black Hawk the coolest looking single action ever for my money.
