Even so, it won't not fit. Bob Wright

Au conttraire! S&W has always had model numbers, they just didn't advertise them. The very first S&W revolver was the Model No. 1, then Number two, then No.1 1/2 : the top break series began with the No. 3. Later the system was changed to incorporate frame size and bore size, as N430 for the...

Granted. But how many old vintage holsters have you seen wet molded to the revolver? Craig is trying for the "antique look" not a modern carry holster. While not an antique, or vintage, holster, this forty year plus holster lacks it original shape from years of being used: While these are...

Craig, Wonder what effect would result if you just coated it with neatsfoot oil? Seems to me that neatsfoot oil darkens and spoftens leather and would give it the "old timey" look. Bob Wright

The few small bore revolvers I've carried wore Eagle Grips Secret Service grips of rosewood. I developed a strong dislike for rubber grips on anything I shoot. Bob Wright

Owning or buying guns should never be an "either/or" confrontation. Bob Wright

There is some question about this. Spme attest to its value, others say it merely forces the lead into the grooves and sort of polishes it. Me, I use stainless steel brushes. While you may cringe at this, its a practice I've done for some forty years or more with no harmful effects. Bob Wright

For cleaning .22 revolvers, here's my tip of the day: Go to your tobacco store and buy a pack of those bristle type pipe cleaners. To clean the chambers, use one pipe cleaner, fold it in half, then fold out two "wings" to shape it into a "T" shape, the stem to be longer than the cylinder. Dip...

Such guns as that bring up Robert Stack, as Elliot Ness, or some similar shows. And the times of Baby Face Nelson, Al Capone, Bugs Moran and Machine Gun Kelly. Scenes of bodies still sitting at the table in a restaurant, or maybe in a bullet riddled old Packard. The good old days. Bob Wright

Why, Kevin, I never knew you had a penchant for the .45 ACP revolve! :rofl::rofl: I've owned a few .45 ACP revolvers myself, mostly Colt M1917s, and only one Smith, a Model 625. Now all my ACPs aare Rugers with auxilliary cylinders. And mostly these are fired with my .45 Xtra Short...

So, eliminate the defense/combat scenerios and limit the subject ot sport shooting/hunting. For the general rule, the revolver, the magnum revolver, is much better suited for game animals that the run ofthe mill auto loader. Certainly the big special porpuse auto is capable in the hands of...

Not only have I chosen the revolver as my personal defense sidearm, but the Single Action revolver at that. And this a Ruger Blackhawk. Why? Because it is the firearm with which I am most familiar. Reaching and grasping the butt, my hand naturally curls around the grip, thumb on the hammer...

In my opinion, the N-Frame S&W is too large for the .357 Magnum cartridge. My own preference is for the Model 586, an L-Framed gun. In my opinion, this is the ideal .357 Magnum double action revolver. Plus its longer cylinder is an asset as well. When I got the L-Frame, I never looked back...

My holsters are all made for everyday carrying. So in effect, I'm staking my life on the holster I carry. I've depended on Doc Barranti and had special taiored to order features built in to my holsters, or left off, as I see fit. The left holster is his No. 1 Shuck, which I ordered to have...

In my opinion the New Frontier is the ultimate Colt Single Action Army. And in .357 Magnum, an excellent varmint revolver. Bob Wright

If I had to confine myself to shot rather than a bullet, it'd be #00 Buck for a charging pit bull! (How do you stoip a charging pit bull?) (Take away his credit card!) ARRRRRGH!

My druthers.........................: And: But then, its up to you, the owner, to be pleased with what you've got. Bob Wroght

I believe it is called the Stallion by Cimarron and Model P Jr. by Uberti. Bob Wrght Later: I just looked it up. It's t'other way around.

Incidentally, here are my .22s. The Uberti frame is about the same size as the Single Six, but its Colt profile grip makes it feel more petite in the hand: Also, the slimmer topstrap of the Umberti makes it seem smaller as well. Bob Wright

Cimarron offers the Stallion as both a .22 r.f. and .32 H&R. Some have stated it is not much smaller than the furl sixe Model P. But I have a .22, which I understand is the same a size as the .32 and it is noticeably small amd morwe petite in the hand. In fact, I'm on the verge of ordering...
