What's Your Favorite Revolver?

S&W 632, 327 Federal. I've got some nice Smith's but this one's amazingly accurate, perfect size, weight, and that cartridge is amazing.
 
I really like my Colt Police Positive Special-38 Special. I am more accurate with that handgun than all my others.
 
The 4" S&W Model 29-2 I traded for a few months ago is fast replacing my 4" 686 as my favorite revolver. Using reloads (thanks CSA357!) from a rest,it amazes me how accurate it is.
 
I can only choose a double action revolver? Damn! I would reall like to say Colt SAA with 4 3/4" barrel, but if has to be a double action then my S&W mod 19 Combat Magnum in 2 1/2" barrel.
 
Mine would most definitely be my Smith and Wesson 627 Performance Center. 8 rounds of 38 spl that feel like a 22. With a Miculek spring kit and a little gun butter.....just like greased lightning.
 
If you scroll back in time to post #50 ( back in 2006! on page 2), I followed through on this one and it worked out.

The Korth is my favorite!

So hard to choose! The Smith K-frames are wonderful, and the Smith Airweights are so easy to carry.

But I gotta go with the Ruger SP101. Wonderful balance of shootability and size/weight. Sights are very good, and recoil with a Hogue hard nylon Monogrip is no big deal. The .38+P defense loads are fun to shoot.

All my best,
Dirty Bob
 
For me, it kinda varies, from week to week.
But most days my Favorite is my Ruger SP101, 2.25", .357magnum. It's just a good every day carry gun.
But my 2 close 2nd Favorites are my Ruger GP100, 3", .357 magnum and my Ruger LCR,
.38 special +P. They are also good every day carry guns.
 
I guess I am a gun-slut - fickle as the wind. Eight years ago, my 625MG in .45 Colt was my favorite. So much so, I added a second one to my collection. Sadly, without my basement factory - and cache of .45 Colts - they would be expensive to keep fed - and hard to find said ammo, too, once my cache was expended. I then decided that the .45 ACP and .357M/.38 were better choices, ammo availability wise - and the .22LR 617 was even more frugal - and fun - to shoot. These choices all pre-supposed my continued ownership of a pocketable 642. What if my 'favorite' would be my 'only'?

Last April began with me dropping a kilobuck, inc s/t, on a just re-released 1999 PC627 UDR, a 2 5/8" 8X .357M. Other than a poorly fitted grip, which was too small for my hands, it was an instant hit. It has been a common range bag occupant - even displacing my 627 Pro - which had displaced my original 627, a 5" JM PC627 V-Comp, holder of the best DA trigger S&W I have ever felt. Here is that UDR - with some moonclipped .38 S&W Special +P 158gr LSWCHP's, my defensive round for .38's & .357M's.

I funded yesterday's new purchase with the sale of my older 5" PC627. Said purchase was another 2 5/8" PC627 V-Comp - my second vote for that gun as my favorite revolver. I have one to keep loaded for a house gun; another, a range gun. Periodically, they will change roles. I could belt holster carry one as personal protection. They lay waist to the SPC plates with ease - and I never miss. As a snubby, they point beautifully - and have enough sight radii for my needs. No, Bambi and Thumper at 75 yd have nothing to fear - but a close in hog or small bear would likely be dispatched with .357M's. I believe I have found my favorite revolver!

I had a couple early S&W 29s that were just wonderful to shoot. Sadly, both gone now:(
