I've ridden more miles and fired more rounds through this Single Six than anything else. Fancy walnut by Cary Chapman.
This .44Spl by Jim Stroh was my first custom 23yrs ago. Micarta by Cary Chapman.
I love this .45Colt 3rd Model Dragoon, even though the guy that did the work went full A-hole on our last effort. Elk lantler by Sack Peterson.
If the Single Six is #1 in miles ridden, this K22 is #2. The Keith Brown grips cost double what the gun did.
One of my best trades resulted in one of my favorite guns. My first big bore was a Redhawk at age 16, in 1990. Years later I traded it for a very nice 6.5" .38-44 that was mismarked M&P. I really wanted a 4" so I traded that .38-44 for a brand new 629MG that had been tuned by Bob Munden. Later stocked by Culina in my favorite micarta.
This S&W 29-3 was one of the last $400 N-frames I've ever seen. It's a fantastic shooter in Culina walnut.
My USFA Pre-war .44Spl is one of those grail guns and at the tail end of USFA's existence, I only paid $1200 for it. Stocked in ivory by Nutmeg Sports.
I fell in love with the Open Top in 2006 and carried it for years. It's an earlier gun with proper .44Colt chambers. It was stock with TruIvory for a while, then I had Michael Gouse engrave it, Doug Turnbull finished it in carbona blue and Jack Huntington stocked it in ivory.
My Schofield came from Dixie Gun Works 10 years ago. Not only is it a favorite sixgun but it's also one of my favorite guns to make holsters for.
There's a whole bunch of reasons to be attached to this SRH .44Mag. When I did my article on the .44Mag/.45Colt for Gun Digest Book of Hunting Revolvers, it was sort of a last minute purchase to incorporate into my testing with heavy bullets out of the cartridge. I didn't even put it on paper before taking a Texas longhorn with it but zeroed it shooting at small rocks around Dad's pond. It wasn't until later that I found what it was capable of and the following year, used it to take two big water buffalo. The following trip to Texas, I dropped it off with Zane Thompson to make a set of grips for it.
