One Revolver

[yhtomit]

S&W 625

This is the only revolver I own or have ever owned; there are a few more I might like (esp. a similar Hogue-gripped .22, only 10 shots instead of 6 ), but this is the one I wanted, and my favorite so far.

5" barrel (would like to find another in 4"), black rubbery Hogues, really pleasant heft. OK, it's not a .44 Magnum, certainly not a 50AE, but frankly, except for novelty value I'm not personally interested in shooting those guns; .45 from a big steel revolver would be fun all day, and *is* fun for all the ammo I can afford. (If I should go trekking in Alaska, ask me again.)

I'm sure I'd like an SP101 in 9mm, too, if only they'd either make them again or appear in vast quantities (thus cheap) on the used market

(Any manufacturers reading this: more "autoloader" ammo revolvers, please!)

Dan Wesson Model 15 "kit" with the full set of barrels and grips. Supremely accurate and I can convert it for several roles.

 

[schmeky]

My Ruger New Model Blackhawk 7.5" barrel in .45 Long Colt. I would square off with a Grizzly with my reloading manual approved hot loads.

I have shot squirrels out of tall pines with this pistol. 1 1/4" 25 yard groups with my pet handloads.

 

[crazyhorse]

Ruger SP101 with 357 mag with 3" barrel. Built like a tank, and will soften the recoil of the 357.

Colt Python

when you not shooting it you can always look and admire the greatest american firearm ever made.

 

[mr.trooper]

A Ruger SP-101, in 357 Magnum, with the 3" barrel, bobbed hammer, belt clip, and Pachmayr Compac grips.

 

[Phil DeGraves]

Smith Model 27 with 5" barrel.

 

[20yearvet]

Well, since I only have one revolver I would have to vote for a 4" full lug Ruger GP-100

 

[g5reality]

Just one

S & W 686+ 4"

 

[Mikeo]

I've had many, and many favorites.
Some of these favorites are:
S&W Mod 18 4" .22LR
Ruger Single six .22lr/.22Mag
Colt Cobra .38spec
S&W Mod 19 4" .357
Ruger Super Blackhawk 7.5" .44
I've had at least a 1/2 doz of each caliber, but these are my favorites of the bunch.

My all time favorite is the S&W Mod 19 4" .357. In fact, it could probably work as the one handgun, if that were the question.

 

[Checkman]

Like so many others:

S&W 686+ with 4" barrel

 

[Jim Z.]

I guess it would ave to be my S&W MOD 19-5

It is a dream to shoot and good accuracy.

 

[9mmhpfan]

N Frame Smith and Wesson Model 28 Highway Patrolman .357 Magnum 4inch barrel.

 

[Stretchman]

My Taurus Titanium Ultra lite in .38 Sp. the 85 SS ul. Back when I purchased it, they had a model that had a regular hammer. That weapon has been with me for a long time, and I will never get rid of it.

I also have a model 64 stainless S&W 4". Nice weapon, but I don't like it like the Taurus.

[Sharkmeat]

629 44 mag, slightly modified, Ahrends grips

 

[Bellevance]

The do-everything gun...

...if there is such a thing.

Another vote for the 686+, though I appreciate the heft the 6-inch version.

 

[treebeard]

My 686 4"!!

 

[Hardtarget]

I only have the one...Colt, Diamondback, 4". Now if I can choose from the "wide world of everything out there"...I'm sure I could name something different.
Mark.

 

[THE DRILL INSTRUCTOR]

Freedom Arms premier grade .454 casull, 7.5" bbl.

 

[doc2rn]

S&W 10-4 3" You just can't beat quality!

 

[nick8180]

python

or maybe diamondback

 

[Marshall]

3-4" K or L frame .357 Mag

 

[Riot Earp]

Don't laugh ...

My one gun would be a Ruger Old Army, 5.5" barrel, with a Kirst .45 Colt/Schofield cylinder. Built like a tank and very reliable, with no screwy transfer bar action. Half cock feature for traditionalists. Can still shoot as cap & ball if desired. Suitable for hiking/camping, home protection, and even as a carry gun under a heavy jacket. Don't like the loading lever? Replace it with a Belt Mountain basepin. And you can have one shipped right to your door!

 

[rayman]

Maybe something S&W model 520 NYSP circa 1980's. A good strong caliber,frame, & no sights to mess with. It looks like it can take a lot of abuse & still function well. It has a certain jen ne sais quoi about it which makes it terribly sexy

 

[WFR]

S&W 686 3" or 13 3".
Have both and will part with neither.
