The BEST looking revolver in the joint >>

wow .45man that is a nice collection!

Got this one today!

I picked up a S&W K-22 probably made in 1951. This wheelgun bug seems to have hit me hard! Now I have a 4" M66 (1978?), a brand new 1 7/8" 638, and now this K-22 with a 6" barrel. Haven't got a chance to shoot it yet, but hopefully I will tomorrow after work.

Maybe not the best looking but worth a glance. A pair of old model Ruger Single Sixes.

Nice looking OM JMB. What caliber is it? Who did the work?

... Who did the work?

No kidding, that blueing makes me wanna cry.

I think I can make out the camera being used by the photographer on the cylinder and... an anteater(?)... maybe an elephant... in the clouds.

 

[JMB]

Thanks for the compliments. It used to be a .357, now its a 44spl. Andy Horvath did all the work except for the grips. Grips are sunburst/crotchwood Maple Burl by Scott Kolar.

I'm drooling over every one of those wheelguns. Puts polymer pistols to shame!

Here's the only DA revolver I own. Picked it up today from a gunshop in Springfield, OH as part of a package deal. Would someone please tell me what model this is? Never owned a Smith before, and is there a site where I can look up the serial to see what year it was made? Seems to be ok mechanically, just ugly.

Swoter, I'm a S&W neophyte but it looks like that revolver would have a few stories to tell Is the barrel blue, while the rest is nickel or stainless? What caliber and barrel length? It looks like either a J-frame (5-shot) or short-barrelled K-frame (6 shot) but I can't tell from the pics. When you open up the cylinder, is there a model number (e.g. 36 or 10-2) stamped on the crane? Many knowledgeable folks over on the smith & wesson forum, and if you post most of the serial number (leaving the last couple characters as "xx", someone over there can tell you when your revolver was made.

Here's a useful list of the various models and engineering changes (-1, -2, etc.) for S&W revolvers

Please let us know what you learn about it.

Out of my small collection, it's a toss up which looks best.. to me, anyway...

It's either the 6-1/2" 629-4 Classic, with Weigand fiber optic site...



Or, the 3" Model 29-3, Lew Horton..

my 16 year old S&W Model 686 357mag. This is back when Smith put an A+ polished finish on their SS revolvers. Also, no stupid key lock and sub-standard finish. Grips are original S&W Goncalo Alves (no longer made, protected wood) combat grips. Show me yours and let's see if it's nicer!!

Here's my early 1980's 4" 686:

[Bear41mag]
