Official revolver bs thread

I don't have any pictures, but as far as wheel guns I have:

Ruger Super Blackhawk, .44 Magnum, 7 3/4" barrell (made sometime in the 60's or early 70's, was my dad's)
Ruger Bearcat Single Six in .22 LR & .22 Magnum (also my dad's)
Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum, 7 3'4 barrell (mine, but newer version of the one I inherited from my dad)

 

Found this while on vacation. With box, tools, and paper work.
Circa '68 or '69

 

Nice !
Model 36 ?

 

Back-in-the-day, folks would often install a Tyler adapter on these small gripped S&W's. The Tyler Company is still making them. https://www.t-grips.com

 

Always wondered what those were called.
Do they really make a difference?

 

Most find them helpful, without adding any real weight or bulk.

 

His kids are still making the T Grips and their damn fast to cash your check, but getting them is almost like waiting on a ATF tax stamp.

 

Tried it out today, shoots great.

 

44's

 

Picked this up when i was about 9...back in 1979...was a different world back then. My 3rd gun by that time.
I guess i thought it would be neat to do the plastic grips about the age of 16 or so, modded with SR insert...gets a little foggy back that far.
This is a Ruger New Model Single Six in a 22LR flavor. Has extra .22 mag cylinder.

 

You guys ever see one of these old things?
This one is used but shoots good.

H&R Sportsman. Double action, 9 shot.

Gun control means hitting your target.

 

I inherited this when my father in law passed. I'm not sure what model it is. Its a 38 special

 

Smith and Wesson model 1917... looks like to me.

OR... maybe K-38 outdoorsman, Army 38/200 (.38 S&W, Victory model & British)

odd/cutom grips

 

I found an old frame many years ago in an old dump pile. Looked like a hinged set up like that but severely rusty. I think I tossed it or lost it in one of my moves...

 

Ruger SP 101. Single action, slow fire, standing, 50’, .22 long rifle.

 

My wheel guns!

SP-101 .357 Hogue grip w/Simply Rugged Loaded Sourdough holster



Ruger New Vaquero SS TALO .357 w/Simply Rugged Cattlemen‘s holster and Sac Peterson Elk grip panels

 

As posted earlier in this thread, here is my model 10-5. The blueing is in pretty rough shape and on my last range trip the cylinder felt slow to turn, like it was gummed up. I’m thinking about sending it out for refinishing and cleaning, possibly to Smith and Wesson directly. A standard blue and polish is $220 and a master revolver action package is $165, plus then whatever else it might end up needing.

What’s this thing worth? As Is ca refinished? Think it’s worth fixing up?



Also what’s a model 27-2 with pachmayr grips in good shape worth?

 

I would refinish it

 

Leave it as is. A 10-5 isn’t a collector’s piece, it’s just a reliable tool. Disassemble the whole thing, give a good cleaning and lube and keep shooting it for the next 100 years.
