We all have favorites

[357smallbore]

When it comes to guns, I'm sure we all can agree everyone has their favorite revolver, auto , and so on. Maybe we inherited these guns, maybe we were given them as a gift. More than likely we worked hard and saved to get the guns we have today.
My S&W 29-2 was just that. Saved, searched and found this excellent+ condition example a while back.
I've always been a 44 magnum fan because of Elmer Keith, Dirty Harry and Nick Nolte in 48 hrs.
Love my vintage Ruger New Model Blackhawk, but this 4in S&W is my favorite gun I own.

my 7 1/2 inch Colt is one of my favorite!

Nice!

 

[Targa]

This is my favorite.

Man it’s a tough one but I’d have to say my brand new no box 624 no dash is my favorite. Shoots like a laser

Something about a Shiny SA with brown grips! Love the look!

This is a toughy. My 686 plus 2.5” is probably my favorite shooter. But my Ruger Super GP100 9mm is my rarest.

Super GP100! never seen one in the wild!

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

I have others that are rarer, more valuable, or more accurate, but the 686 is still my favorite.

They're nice, no doubt, can't say it's my favorite, but it ranks up there.

Might be my favorite revolver here.

What chambering?

 

[nettlle]

My favorite revolver.

model 14?

Long before that.
Its an I-frame Hand Ejector, you can tell by how relatively huge the trigger guard is.

 

[CarNDrvr]

Super GP100! never seen one in the wild!

Ya I got lucky running across it. I’m even luckier to own the pair.

I own quite a few and there’s just something about my 686 that just works! I was shocked to group as well as I did with such a short barrel. Plus the grips are phenomenal.

Coolest looking Gun Ever!

Haven't had this beauty out of the safe in a year...gotta remedy that injustice.

I waited 40+ years for Ruger to make a .44 Special and this is one of the first Flat Top New Models produced when Lipsey's got them to make a run. Aside from the thin cheese grater grips, it was an answer to a young then a pretty old man's prayers.

That's it in my paw after shooting the target at a measured 25 yds using Keith's old "long range" position (back against a fence post, knees up with the gun gripped two-handed between them). The load was Skelton's favorite: 240 gr LSWC (Lyman's 429421, the Keith bullet sized to 0.430"), & backed by 7.5 gr. of Unique for ~950 fps. I was a young sprout then in '07, sixty two years old.

The gun, a 4-5/8" bbl'd model wears a pair of my cocobolo grips, with a fatter midsection, gunfighter style. I have other Rugers, a bunch of Smiths and a springling of Colts, but this one is the queen bee. Best regards, Rod. PS: the one below it, a stable mate in .44 Special, would run a close 2nd for favorite...stocks are some I made up out of black & white ebony, left over from a cousin's recurve bow limb project.

My favorite revolver has always been an N frame Smith in any caliber.

 

[357 Terms]

My 627-5 V-Comp is a great range gun.
I've made a lot of bowling pins heavier with light 38's, and turned many pins to splinters with 357's.

Wait a minute....that one has gotta be rare, the load gate is on the left side...

 

[mavracer]

Not really, I struggle with picking a favorite.

 

[bannockburn]

Double Action-S&W Model 686-no dash

Single Action-Ruger Flattop Blackhawk

 

[docwharden1881]

Currently these are my faves. It changes quite often.
No idea how well this turned out
