Thanks for everyone posting pictures now I have to clean the drool off of my phone! Fine looking wheel guns.

I like the idea of a 3" barreled SAA w/ birdshead grips and a tapered barrel, with an extended base pin.

I've been wanted a 3" 686 and lucked into one. Not happy with the grips, but that's an easy fix. Love to add a 3" 629 someday.

I'm doing my part to make them more rare by removing a Model 64-5 3" from the market today.

My Taurus Stainless Model 94 9 shot (3 inch barrel). It’s a one of my favorites and a sweet shooter!
