Quote HistoryQuoted: Favorite would be a 66-1 2.5” with a Smith Performance Center trigger job. I bought it and it came with a spare barrel as the original forcing cone was trashed due apparently from too many 125gr hot loads. I sent it to Smith and had them install and pin the new barrel. Got the trigger job at the same time. It’s a honey. My 624 is pretty high up there as well. It went back to Smith as it had “push off” when I bought it. Perf center fixed it and did a trigger job at the same time. Must have for me is 2.5” K frame Magnums. I love them and have several. They do something for me. I also love 4” N frames. They just look and feel balanced. I’m honestly not a huge fan of long barrel revolvers. I do have a 5” model 27 and a 8-3/8” model 17 though. I sold my long barrel 29’s after my heart surgery. Can’t handle 44 mag recoil very well anymore but I kept the 4”-er’s as I just love them. I reload so I keep them at “Skeeter 44 special” level and I do just fine. The 624 https://i.imgur.com/L6sn14m.jpg The 66 on the left. Right is a 64. They both have Sambar Stag grips. https://i.imgur.com/rmPr8i0.jpg I’m embarrassed to say I haven’t shot the 64. I have several revolvers I haven’t shot yet. When it gets warmer I’m going to start fixing that. Don’t make me ping you this Spring to remind you to get out and shoot them. You have a fantastic collection (1911s too if I recall) and I hope you can enjoy them. Am I seeing correctly the stag grips are like $3-500? @compuvette |

 Attached FileMy Magna Port custom S&W 25-2.  Attached FileMy Magna Port custom S&W 28-2. It was a 4". It was the first used revolver I bought and didn't catch the eroded forcing cone. I gave the gun to Kenny for an action job and he told me about the forcing cone. He offered me a 5" or 3 1/2" barrel for my barrel. I went with the 5" to make a Skeeter Skelton'ish clone. So now it is my blue worn 28-2 Model 27 with a brand new barrel. She shoots great. Popping milk jugs with it it 90 yards is alot of fun. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Favorite would be a 66-1 2.5” with a Smith Performance Center trigger job. I bought it and it came with a spare barrel as the original forcing cone was trashed due apparently from too many 125gr hot loads. I sent it to Smith and had them install and pin the new barrel. Got the trigger job at the same time. It’s a honey. My 624 is pretty high up there as well. It went back to Smith as it had “push off” when I bought it. Perf center fixed it and did a trigger job at the same time. Must have for me is 2.5” K frame Magnums. I love them and have several. They do something for me. I also love 4” N frames. They just look and feel balanced. I’m honestly not a huge fan of long barrel revolvers. I do have a 5” model 27 and a 8-3/8” model 17 though. I sold my long barrel 29’s after my heart surgery. Can’t handle 44 mag recoil very well anymore but I kept the 4”-er’s as I just love them. I reload so I keep them at “Skeeter 44 special” level and I do just fine.

Absolutely my favorite and the most comfortable. I’d just describe it as “properly filling my hand” The more I stare at it though, it looks disproportionate. I’m not sure that’s a deal breaker for me but it’s noticeable https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/184182/7CBE3578-1E9B-460F-A109-599186261CBD_jpe-2256813.JPG Gun as I bought it https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/184182/9DBE7D88-6139-478A-B36F-9E6A894426E3_jpe-2256809.JPG Would this bronze T grip look retarded on this revolver with my original grips?

I think it'd look just fine on that pre-10!
Also, I love this thread so much. Can we extend revolver month into next month? I think we should. I picked up another SP101 today, this one in .38. Local shop had it for a VERY reasonable price. Has some finish wear and tear, but it was very tight mechanically. |

Revolver month is pretty much revolver year for me.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So many nice guns here and I my only revolver is this Taurus .44mag. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/222092/image_jpg-2257902.JPG It fits. I'm not as anti-Taurus as some of my posts imply, they just pissed me off with their pricing. It used to be you bought Taurus because they were a couple hundred less than an equivalent Smith. Now they seem to be within $50-$75 of Smith's similar models. |

I love my older Smiths, but I have a soft spot for any wheel gun or there! As long as they work and shoot straight they're great in my book. |

Does smith make something in that category? Smith is being an absolute cunt about their 617 22lr 38s and 357s don’t seem to be priced similarly, let alone even available. Maybe I’m wrong @shack357 |

Drunken purchase? Childhood lust? None of the above, I had a YouTube review on my suggested list and though it looked pretty cool, so $850 and 5 days later this landed on my ffl’s house. I didn’t see that they made a 460 or I would’ve bought that one. |

In a few hours I am starting one of my retirement goals- shooting some casual competition. This is a revolver match that I don’t really have any gear for, but I do have a well used but not too abused S&W 27-2 with the target trigger/hammer setup. The gun is a tank and fun to shoot. It is almost retirement age itself as well. Came from a police seizure sale so I have zero idea on its history.
Never actually carried a revolver(*) except as a “why the hell not” a few times, did teach plenty of basic corrections students on M64’s back over 20 years ago, so we shall see how much I remember... (*) not quite true- I carried a NAA mini revolver .22 for 20+ years as a deep pocket gun, just in case the G22 and G27 were not available...not sure it counts since I would likely have used a knife over that gun! Added- also bringing a first of the model year M67 as well for a backup. It is the one with the stainless sights that everyone wants. Estate deal with a family friend of my parents a few years back. My dad got an M19 and I got the 67, they wanted to give them to us free but we insisted they take at least something, so we got them for $250 each. (Looked like they were shot once then put in a drawer for 45 years....) Great gun but it needs some trigger spring upgrades before it can be said to have a great trigger. |
