How long is your?????

19.5 inches. Did I win? Jim

I wish I actually read the thread, before asking one of the girls at work to take my picture!

fixurgun, how do you aim that thing?

Very carefully, I'm sure.

Without making any compensation jokes, I prefer short barrels. The idea of a snubbie .454c makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

At my range, they have an old, old shotgun hung on the wall with a barrel about 12 to 15 FEET long.

1in,1 1/2",2",2 1/16",2 3/4", 3",3 1/16",4",4 1/2",4 3/4",5", 5 1/2",6",6 1/2",7 1/2", I like them all sizes I guess.

Perhaps I can come in 2nd place as far as barrel length is concerned....

As I have gotten older I have graduated to shorter, uh guns.

My revolver barrels are no longer than 5.5"

But my rifle barrels make up for it.

My revolvers are 3 1/16" and 4". Looking to add a 6 incher to the collection though.

I like mine nice and short. I don't need to compensate for anything.

This appears to be a 10" barrel on a S&W "Registered Magnum" but several members at the S&W Forum got very angry and abusive when I posted it. I guess not everyone appreciates art.

4". Was using it for work. That's what they required. Figured out it's a great length to carry, though!

I remember that...PhOtOsHoP !! I thought it was a pretty good AF joke and thought it would have been even better with an extended two-hand grip frame.

My barrel is 5.5 inches, and my wife says it is plenty long enough

Do they make a pocket holster for that?

2",3", 4", 5", 5 1/2",6",7 1/2"--a few of each--I didn't win!

C&L- It was meant to be funny but a couple of guys got really pissed. I mean they sent me some venomous comments. I think they are taking themselves WAY too seriously.

BTW- I also received three offers to buy the gun...

I can't see why anyone would get mad at such a thing. I have looked and drooled over many of the 10" S&W model 29 guns for hunting and silhouette shooting. Although I think they were actually 10 5/8".

In fact, I have lately been looking at a 12" model 629 for the same purposes.

The problem I have is that there is far too many schweet wheelies out there I want, and the lack of funds just isn't helping any.

Of course, been eyeballing those darn 12" Taurus guns as well, maybe in .218 bee...maybe.


But for now, I have to live my little shorty model 617

What make and model is that may I ask? I was aware of several 18" "Buntline" wheelies out there, but the 19.5" has me stumped.

Of course, I would love to run across one of those special made Danny Vermin specials...the 88 Magnum

Noidster

It's a FIE Cowboy Combo with a stevens model 72 rifle barrel. Several people told me it wouldn't work so of course... Jim

i'll probly get one of these with my supposedly coming tax return. but for now i lose with only 6.5"

Saxon Pig, I have stopped posting on the S&W forum for the most part due to grumpy old men like that. Anyways... not a revolver but I have a Thompson contender with a 14in barrel. I wonder why they just didn't make it a 16in so it could have a stock like a rifle if desired. When I was a child, I thought the 15in Dan Wesson barrel was real cool.

A few folks there do take themselves "WAY too seriously". I guess they have that need.

I wondered where you've been Moonclip. I still hang out there but post less than I have in the past. I probably fall into the "Old Men" definition but hopefully ain't too grumpy.

The longest handgun barrel I have is 6.5", so no need for me to post a pic...nah, I'll do it anyway. Someone has to come up short.

S&W 29-2

Nice pinto, nice length. I never did like the 8 3/8" S&W's or 8" Colts like the Python though I did have a "grumpy old man" friend who did. His last gun purchase before he died was a 8 3/8" P&R 629.
