Nice!

I’m looking forward to hearing about it - I’m in for the same rig at about 8 weeks now.

I’m a big fan of S&W N-frames and have posted elsewhere on this august forum about carrying Model 27s, especially either a 5-inch 27-2 or a 3-1/2-inch “pre-27.” My favorite mode of carry for either of these is the Summer Classic IWB from Barranti Leather. The holster rides nice and high and I...

As stated more than once above here, I like S&W Magna stocks and either a Tyler T-Grip or BK Grips adapter.

Nicely done and congratulations!

Ah, man, you did it RIGHT @Rock185 with the presentation case and all the applicable accoutrements - love it!

One of the few such groups I’ve joined on FB.

I am loving the comments and guns you folks are posting here - fantastic to a relative Skeeter newbie / novice like me. I have a copy of that Skeeter Skelton special edition magazine around the homeplace, quite possibly still boxed from our last move. I need to find that one!

That’s my understanding - I think he may have authored at least one book himself and I believe I recall he had a standing by-line / column in one of the gun magazines. I believe he has also passed away, sadly.

The late Skeeter Skelton was born on 1 May 1928. A very Happy Birthday in honor of a man who meant a lot to a great many of us one way or another. While any photo-tribute to him ought to include some .44 Specials, here’s an invite for those of you with them to post them up if you wish...

Thank you, good sir!

Dangit, missed the day by one haha… Regardless, a pair that spent some time at the range recently: 1947-vintage K22 and 1970-era 27-2 with 5” barrel. Always a good time, and now it’s time to clean ‘em up and start over! :)

That is an excellent holster and I appreciate the history of the design, to boot!

I’d add a vote for the BK Grips or Tyler grip adapters, as well, with the caveat being that my experience with them so far has been with K- and N-frame sized guns. The only reason I haven’t gone that route on this 642 is that this Hogue unit shown here works so well for me for both shooting...

Happy Wheelgun Wednesday, all! This S&W 642, JW O’Rourke pocket holster, and Barranti 2x2x2 pouch are with me a huge chunk of time each day, often all-day. Sometimes the 642 is a solo; other times it’s a back-up to something bigger on the belt.
