What appear to be 38/44 HDs are actually the S&W Model 22-4.Sho-nuff, I'll take whichever one you send me. One of the .38/44HD conversions would be nice
Ya got one in nickel?
Sorry, nothing in nickel.

That's what she said...Size matters. Meplats matter. Pass me the 45.
10mm is a better revolver cartridge than semi-auto.10mm. Preferably a S&W 610, 4" and a shoebox full of good moon clips.
As a 610 owner I am not sure I agree. 10mm Auto works well in the revolver but in some of the semi autos capacity is nearly tripled with little or no loss in velocity or shootability.10mm is a better revolver cartridge than semi-auto.
Tell me more about about 'em @45 Dragoon
For me, I like. 45 ACP in revolvers because my Colt 1917, S&W 1917, and S&W 625 all shoot .45 Auto-Rim and .45 GAP too.10mm is a better revolver cartridge than semi-auto.
That S&W Model 625 will handle the two you mentioned and the 45 Super. But, keep the Super away from the 1917s.For me, I like. 45 ACP in revolvers because my Colt 1917, S&W 1917, and S&W 625 all shoot .45 Auto-Rim and .45 GAP too.

I am not Mike, but here are a couple of threads.Tell me more about about 'em @45 Dragoon
Yeah, I don't shoot .45 Super out of the 1917s.That S&W Model 625 will handle the two you mentioned and the 45 Super. But, keep the Super away from the 1917s.

Freedom Arms I think will supply a spare cylinder in .45 Winchester Magnum if you want one. But the real question is why go through that effort when .454 Casull exists and blows the socks off .45 Winchester Magnum.People up-thread mentioned reaming 10mm revolvers out to 10mm Mag got me to wondering: Has anyone ever made a 45 Win Mag revolver?
I don't know why. I don't want one. Neither do I want a 10mm Mag revolver (I'd prefer a 41Mag in that size range). But different strokes for different folks.Freedom Arms I think will supply a spare cylinder in .45 Winchester Magnum if you want one.

A S&W Model 1950?…I did vote for the .45ACP. Always been a favorite cartridge of mine, so much so that I had TK Customs machine the cylinder on my Model 25 so that it would accept w/moon clips the .45ACPView attachment 1196612
This is nothing more than a popularity contest lol. More people have owned and shot 1911 and other handguns in 45acp, so that's what they're going to go with, aka, what they know best. If this was a 9mm vs 45 or 10mm question, more people own, shoot, and carry 9mm, so that's what they'll pick by default. Most aren't choosing based on objective merit reasons.I'm sure .45 will win on popularity alone, but I was trying to think of more calibers to make these poll topics about and thought for revolvers a rimless head to head would be interesting.
So, the plot here is you've decided you want a bigger bore revolver that shoots a semi auto caliber. Either you just want the accuracy of a single action or you want to play with moon clips, whatever the reason you woke up this morning and got to get yourself a new gun and mama always said you'd be a choosin' one, so between 10mm or .45 revolver, what will you choose?

I would agree, 10mm Magnum is better in a revolver than 10mm Auto and better than a 10mm Magnum autoloader. I've been signing the praises of 10mm Magnum in a revolver for years now as I think it could prove to be more popular than .41 ever was or will be and that largely has to do with compatibility with 10mm Auto and .40 S&W for lower cost practice ammo.As a 610 owner I am not sure I agree. 10mm Auto works well in the revolver but in some of the semi autos capacity is nearly tripled with little or no loss in velocity or shootability.
If we where talking about 10mm Magnum I would bet inclined to agree the revolver does as well or better with the cartridge but 10mm Auto really does well in the semi-autos designed for it.
There was no way 10mm was going to win and I knew that going in, it was a question of ratios and reasoning I wanted to see, but 9mm vs .45 ACP in a revolver would probably be an interesting follow up poll. That said, I do try to keep the size of the calibers close as it evens the playing field out, otherwise I assume everyone is going to pick the bigger caliber as people have been conditioned that bigger always means better.This is nothing more than a popularity contest lol.

Model of 1950 became the Model 26. It has a tapered barrel instead of the heavy barrel of the M25 (which was the Target Model of 1955 before 1957), although both are chambered for .45 Auto. A no-dash M26 is Unobtanium, very rare.A S&W Model 1950?

Quite familiar with the Model 1950, both the Target and the Army Models and the Model 1955. Just thought it a rather piece to be modifying.Model of 1950 became the Model 26.
