Revolver Picture Thread

Experienced.... That's a good term!

Your Chief's Special has got that been there done that look about. Looks like it knows what it's doing.

Got that same experienced look as my 1954 pre 27.

Today’s carry. This is a Smith & Wesson Model 40-1. Bought this one a couple weeks ago and it’s a regular in the carry rotation. Looks good. Feels good. Easy carry.

Both carries are pretty cool. What species of wood on those grips?

Wow, are feeding O Miracle Grow? She's growing like a weed.

Ha. Yup. O’s growing. She looks bigger in that photo because of perspective. She’s sort of a skinny little girl. But, she’s walking a bit now and thinks that she’s big time.

She has very little hair and, what she does have, is light blonde. So, she wears a hat outside to protect the bald head (just like daddy)

She's a beauty and you don't have to respond to this but, I just know that she has an Airweight J frame in a thigh holster up under those sundresses. Before you know it you and O will be shopping for a Flash Bang for her.
 
Had a pretty good week as far as revolvers go.

Picked up this little beaut last Friday.

Then put this guy on layaway mid-week.

And picked up this fella from the FFL this afternoon.

So funny story about that model 10. Went to pick it up off of layaway today, and was told that they couldn’t sell it to me because they were not allowed to let it leave the store. Apparently it was a stolen gun that Hyatt’s didn’t bother to run through CMPD until after I had put a deposit down on it. So they were kind enough to offer me a 1:1 swap on an old pitted nickel model 10 with a 5” pencil barrel. Needless to say I passed.

So I still haven’t ever purchased a gun from Hyatt’s, and I’m pretty sure this ordeal reinforced that I never will.

So, I had the ugly duckling with me today. Early 1980s Colt Agent. These came from the factory covered in tooling marks and with the low-grade finish. Fantastic lightweight carry guns.

And yet I cannot find one that I can afford. Always wanted one...
 
Agreed


Agreed. Find a nice set of old grizzled diamond magnas from somebody's "grip box" or eBay and put that revolver to work in the carry rotation after a
few test rounds at the range.

I found a set on eBay that are probably nicer than the gun is. As soon as I can walk again I'll get the little revolver and install the new old grips. Man the original Magnas sure are tiny. I did go with the little Dimond insert versions

I sure love old guns made of metal and wood
 
Nothing fancy. Just swapping some shoes around. The 3” Model 60 is going to get some sweaty holster hiking time soon, so on with the rubber grips.

This 642 (no dash) is going back into the safe.

I got a pair of diamond magnas off of the bay. The 53 chiefs special looks much better now, don't you think? For sure it's not a safe queen, and I wonder what stories it could tell. I love a mutt!

(And I suck as a photographer)

I sold this one last year.
 
Are those genuine Roman Army Issue hiking sandals? [emoji53]

Keen Newport II [emoji3] love these shoes for hiking. Very comfortable and great got stream crossings and swamps. Water drains out and they dry fast.
