My latest revolvers, 1 Colt and 1 Smith

[dgroff85]

Just thought I would share my latest revolver buys. Up first is a 2.5" Colt Diamondback, overall it's not the best condition, but it should make a good shooter. Now I need to find some wooden grips or "stocks" for it and I will be set. (The white in the cylinder is some renaissance wax I missed )


Next: I've been wanting a pair of no dash 617's with both 4" and 6" barrels for a long time now. I couldn't be leave how hard it was to find a 4" 617 no dash. Now the quest is finally over and one more revolver to cross off my want to buy list. Next smith on the list is a 686-4 Plus model with a 4" barrel

Actually from your one photo the Diamondback looks to be in fairly decent condition. Find a serviceable pair of factory stocks for it and I think it will look just fine.

I'd be proud to own any three of those gems.

Those are very nice. Congratulations! Love that 2.5" Diamondback. Now, get the tweed sport coat, blue turtleneck, Mustang Fastback; and you, too, can be the essence of cool!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm very happy with my new additions. Its a great feeling buying something that's been on "the list" for a while.

Very sweet. I'd be proud to own any of those three.

You also need the muzzle-up shoulder holster, I forget the make, in order to be Bullitt.
Just re-watched that movie recently. I think I need to get it on DVD/Blue Ray.
