Revolver Picture Thread

Oh, this should be fun. Another caliber war


HEH......No man, no war...... All boils down to personal preference, not whether one is better than the other, all have their use and all are good. I always lean to .45 anything. Years ago, I decided it was a waste to have both .429 and .45 and be aggravated with loading and doing both. I went 45. I did inherit a 44 a couple of years ago, and will one day get around to shooting it and messing with it. I have never had any 41s, and I load enough rifle stuff, I need to limit the number of handguns I load and mess with. I have had this 44 for about 3 years now, my buddy David used to come shoot this thing about every week until he passed on..............One day I will develop some good Cutting Edge bullet loads for it..........But won't be looking for any more 44s..............and I have to load Billys 44s anyway, so ..........

You tell that @BatteryOaksBilly guy to load his own damn bullets. :D

I have been thinking about a 45lc lever action for no good reason. Cause 45 I guess.
 
When I get old and retire like @Jeppo, I'll load & choot 'em all!

I have a lot of 45 Colt lever guns. Have a wonderful little 16 inch Winchester 94 that I have literally carried all over the world, and have been very happy to have it along many times........ Especially in places where I could not
take a handgun. I love them. Billy has a 44 exactly the same, or at least he used to..... I have a hard time keeping up with him!

It's great in a levergun, but be choosy about factory ammo... most of it is too weak.

I use my little Winchester as a pressure gun for 45 Colt.. I have run some wicked heavy loads in it. Of course, staying at 45000 PSI or less as max. 300 gr bullets at 1600 fps is nothing to sneeze at, at least for handgun cartridge. I have run the 250 Flex at 1700 fps. But do keep in mind, yes strong for a handgun cartridge, but weak as piss compared to a rifle............
 
New to me Smith&Wesson mod 25-15classic series with 6 1/2 inch barrel. Yes it has the lock but since its a range toy I don't care . Plan to remove lock and plug the hole . I did change the grips using a set from a older -2 Smith.IMG_20200428_162015076.jpg IMG_20200428_161932845.jpg

Glad you sorted those crooked photos out! HEH HEH... I was on it before you edited.....

I LIKE THIS GUN...... I have two just like it. I use one on the range as a test gun these days for 45 Colt.

Since Billy's damn 2.5 inch 500 S&W busted that ligament in my hand, I only shoot revolvers up to 1000-1100 fps anymore. Anything over that starts to tear and hurt too much.
