Revolver Picture Thread of All Time

My plain Jane 19-4 spruced up with Hogue's. I think this might have been a police dept. trade in as it originally had a lanyard loop on the grip. I sold a 66 years ago and have always wanted another 4" K frame. I couldn't pass this one up when I came across it. It is a great shooter and will be my field sidearm from now on. I sure do need a good crossdraw holster for it.

I'd like to call out for some more pics of.45 ACP wheelies.

I'd love to see on propped up on and surrounded by a bed of loaded moonclips.

I will not be able to satisfy that craving for a while so I'll torture myself by looking at yours.
 
My latest acquisition, a Colt Cobra and how it compares in size to my other acquisition, a S&W 637. Smith was NIB and was $315 OTD, the Cobra was $365 OTD. I think I did well on both.

My new (to me) Webley Mk IV, .38 S&W. :)

Nice!

Love that Bisley, Janitor. That engraving is the perfect use of an unfluted cylinder. I prefer fluted or engraved unfluted cylinders over just unfluted cylinders. I'm sure some won't agree, like those with Freedom Arms revolvers, but that's my opinion...
 
Thanks jtrsr. It's really not engraving, but some sort of rollmark (laser?). It does look nice though. But I'm ok with the plain ones too. I'd be real happy with a plain cylinder on a field grade FA .454. :)

Hey Boxhead: Love the Lindbaugh conversion - very nice. Wish I were in a position to have that done to the .45.

Thank you Warren.

It shoots very nice. When the photos were taken, it was probably the nicest to shoot handgun in my safe. Accurate and smooth. Only problem was, that someone had bubba'd a trigger job on it, and it had a problem with pushoff.

It's a lot nicer now. The trigger job was so awful, that the gunsmith ended up having to replace the trigger itself. So I had him put in a case hardened target trigger. And while he was at it, he put in a (case hardned) target hammer. The hammer was heavier than the stock one, so he could get away with lightening the return spring a bit. After a proper trigger job, it now has a crisp 3 lb pull.

I love this gun.
 
Because a long barrel is less noisy than a short barrel, and .38 Special is less noisy than .357 magnum, the Dan Wesson model 14 on the left is loaded with .38 Special +p for home defense. I have made adjustments to the frame and hand and barrel shroud to make timing and hits on target better. The 642 I carry as a second concealed carry piece at times. I've adjusted the frame on that one too to get better timing.
