Official revolver bs thread

Woah, very nice!!!

At the other end of the spectrum, more snub shenanigans.



The Pachmayr gripper professional grips showed up today so I put them on. I think they are a lot more appropriate for an old roscoe than the presentation grips. They were really comfy and I pointed well with them, so off to take the massive recoil on the 17-9 they go! It’s a target/bullseye gun for me.



Since I was in the safe anyway I started messing with my growing holster collection. That’s a IWB holster for 5 shot j frames, LCR’s, etc.



What the heck? “Carries like a J frame, shoots like a real gun” indeed. The 10-5 2” is 1 pound heavier on my scale than the LCR, and a finger groove taller in the grip with the pacmahyrs... probably the same height with the regular splinter grips...

LCR in the same suit



Maybe now that the nice new magnas from my 17-9 are replaced they should find a home on the 10 with a grip adapter after all. Maybe I should also more seriously look for a model 12 or 315...

Also note the distance between the trigger and backstrap on both guns. No wonder an LCR feels so good... the grip is sized like a k frame. J frames are too cramped for me and my trigger finger gets pinched.

 

no pics, but I love me some wheel guns, especially in uncommon calibers.

Smith 325PD- 45acp, titanium cylinder, scandium frame, lighter than a loaded G19
Ruger Blackhawk Buckeye- 10mm single action, unfortunately I don't have the 38-40 cylinder they originally came with
Ruger Redhawk 4" 44mag, need to get another 44 long gun to pair with it
Ruger Security 6 2 3/4" in 357
Kimber K6S 3" 357

 

Range day!



the local indoor range had a Halloween target competition

50ft on hand, I need to get a white insert or something for the 17


15ft with the 10-5 2” and LCR

 

Anybody here own a Super Blackhawk?

 

Just sent this one off to Gemini for Marc's "Carry Package". I am also waiting on a holster from Simply Rugged. It's the same weight as my 629 5", but packs a lot easier due to the barrel length. It actually shoots really well.

 

I have a super redhawk

 

Are the grips the same?

 

No, Super Blackhawk, Blackhawk, and Vaquero grips are all different from Super Redhawk

 

329PD, 210 GDHP, 27 gr H110 (max load). Ouch!! Great hunting sidearm, but not a gun I shoot 100 full house loads in a sitting.

 

S&W model 67 and 68.

 

S&W Outdoorsman (first model/1931) and a S&W model 17 (1953)

 

S & W gang. Top is a 66-4 3” .357, middle is a 19-3 2 1/2” .357, bottom is a 686-2 2 1/2” .357

 

Ruger 480 super red hawk, s&w 686 7shot

 

nooope. My 325PD has enough pop for me. For 44mag my 4" Redhawk is perfect for me.

 

I usually carry a 300 gr hard cast load at 980 fps or a heavy 44 special load with a 200 gr GDHP at 1025 fps. Those two loads will handle anything where I hunt.

 

So, I’m finding myself taking my S&W 1917 more and more often when I head to the high desert. I can’t identify a specific reason. It just seems to fit with my Jeep.

 

I like S&W revolvers as long as they don't have the damn lock on them. My favorites are the 3" K frames. 64, 65, 65-5 LS, and the 66.



Couple I bought after taking that pic.
