[Srigs]

My Model 15-4 K-frame "Combat Masterpiece"

 

[Jim PHL]

My 3" Model 65 would have to be #1, but my 2-1/2" M19 is #1a, not #2! (It's that close of a call)

 

[rbmcmjr]

An easy answer for me:

2.5" 66-1, Factory Class A Engraved



Although this 629-4 Backpacker is running a close second:

[cookekdjr]

which one is my favorite?
Almost any S&W. (j/k/l/n frames, I love them all).
Almost all Rugers, especially the single six, the redhawk, and the blackhawk.

Ruger "Security Six" 4" barrel---SS

I LOVE these older Rugers. In fact that's my favorite modern revolver... second only to my beloved SAA.

They really rock!

I agree with ol retired gunny, when things get hairy, grab a 1911. The fact is I find revolvers boring. Of course I know they are every bit as capable as a pistol in the right hands, I just don't care. The one exception to that is the 1877 Colt Lightnings and Thunderers, even if I've never fired one. I almost bought one a couple of times now, but I just can't stand the idea of destoying one shooting it or having one and seldom if ever shooting it.

 

[41 magnum fan]

My favorite revolvers are my three S&W model 657 Mountain Guns chambered in 41 magnum.This is my everyday carry gun.Other favorites are all other S&W 41 MAGNUMS,S&W 625 Mountain Gun in 45 acp,my five inch 27-2 and 3 inch K frames.

My S&W 586 No Dash. 24 years old and like new. Found it sitting on a table at a lgs.

 

[Photoman]

My 4" 24-3 is in the no. 1 spot right now but this .45 Hand Ejector U.S. Service Model of 1917 is in a close second!

...my kinda question...

I like revolvers more than autoloaders...

S&W 642...cuz it's the only gun left after selling off collection due to lost job and I haven't found a better pocket gun

Ruger GP100...the last full size revolver I had; built well; ease of cleaning and maintenance; easy to load and handle

S&W 686...I've owned a few; my father owns one; univerally accepted; well built; better resale/trade in value

S&W 19...I gave a 6" barrelled model to my father; he owned a 4" before trading it on his 686; nice compromise for someone who shoots more .38's than magnums

S&W 625 or 22...I like .45acp and I miss my 625 that I traded it off a while ago; I should have held onto it; now impossible to replicate due to financial situation

S&W 629...I tried .44 magnum for a while; a great all around hunting round; ammo cost too much to train with & I don't reload; great defensive loads in .44 special for HD

 

[Steve 48]

I just love those 3 inchers: M13, M66, SP 101, and 629. Steve 48

 

[Vern Humphrey]

Hmmmm -- I have a Colt 357 I carried my first tour in Viet Nam, and it didn't let me down, twice.

I love my Colt Officer's Model Target .22 -- one of the best .22 handguns ever made.

My Colt SAA in .357 is a great woods gun (as is the OMT).

My Colt New Service in .45 Colt is a great shooter -- albeit I had to put on a new front sight and open up the rear notch to get it to shoot to POA.

And I'm wearing the cutest little .38 Detective Special as I type this.

 

[orionengnr]

haven't seen anyone mention

the S&W 696 yet. Currently my favorite revo...although one day maybe I'll own a 625 so that is subject to change. And that 4" 629 is tempting too...

 

[WhiskeyMike]

At the moment it would be my S&W 14-6. Tomorrow, who knows?

 

[Gunnut9465]

S&W Airweight 38 with Crimson Trace grips. Awesome carry weapon.

 

[homefront]

Colt Detective Special w/ modified Herrets and Tyler "t" grip (just shouldn't be that accurate!)
Blued Ruger Redhawk .44 mag.
3" fixed sight Ruger GP100

 

[Thefabulousfink]

My Webley Mk. IV

It is not the most practical, and has almost no stopping power, but I love to shoot it.



P.S. The target is from my first time firing it at 20'

 

[.41Dave]

I have soooo many favorites, I couldn't pick just one... so here are a few (but not all) of my favorites:

My favorite S&W revolver (S&W model 57)

My favorite single action revolver (Old model Ruger Blackhawk .41 magnum)

My favorite back country revolver (S&W model 686 Mountain Gun)

My favorite barbeque revolver (S&W model 19)

 

[Old Dog]

I'm with .41 Dave -- too many favorites. Probably the 4" 686-2 w/Ahrends finger-groove cocobolo stocks ...

Nice-lookin' Mod 19 there, Dave.

 

[gazpacho]

ARMY 1860

If ever there was a revolver that could be called graceful, that would be it.

 

[MountainPeak]

Probably my Ruger Blackhawk 41mag. It was my woods gun for many years. Looking at it, just brings back memories. I retired it for a G20. Time marches on. I still take it with on all my shooting outings. It's funny, I have many revolvers worth more in dollars, but I'm not sure any, are worth more to ME!

 

[OldLt]

S&W Model 10

 

[Gunz]

My recent acquisition FN Herstal Barracuda 3inch barrel, 357 mag, blued, with pinned barrel and recessed cylinder for $320.

It has been a ebar to find a 3inch Smith, but the FN came along, and it is a nice addition.

For a 30 year old gun sitting in a crate somewhere, it is pretty rock solid in design. The funky front trigger gurad area and crane guard makes finding holsters a bit tricky, but it is a solid lock-up gun.

I love 3in blued revolvers. 357 Mag is nothing to sneeze at.
