What's Your Favorite Revolver?

[Phil DeGraves]

I'm talking D/A here and only guns that you own, have owned or have shot. None of this "I'd like a Korth" type stuff. My favorite D/A would be an N-Frame S&W.

 

[f4t9r]

would have to be my Colt Python

 

[Phil DeGraves]

That's what I was looking for.

 

[Dave Workman]

I like the N frame Smith, and mine is a .41 Magnum Model 57. I took second place with it last year in the annual Elmer Keith Memorial Long Range handgun shoot outside of Spokane. Great gun, great caliber.

However, I also own a Colt Python. Ahhhhh, the Python. That glass smooth action. That full underlug 6-inch vent rib barrel. Those comfortable grips. That polished mirror deep blue finish.

What can I say?

 

[Cliff47]

Dave, please stop. Now I want to add a Colt Python to my collection.

 

[Phil DeGraves]

My favorite D/A Range revolvers are the 624, 27s, & 29. My brother likes the Python. That is a TOUGH choice!

 

[El Tejon]

Smith M17, the Henry Bowman Special.

 

[cmidkiff]

Mines a 6" Model 29-2. Bad picture... great revolver

 

[hso]

Dan Wesson .357

 

[beaucoup ammo]

That would be my S&W .357 Model 65-3 "K" frame. I've had her since '87 and she's still crisp and beautiful!

 

[ronto]

Ruger Security-Six.

 

[TexasRifleman]

329PD loaded with my "almost" Elmer Keith loads of .44 Special.

Real sweet little thing with Specials.... my favorite.
Here she is loaded with Silvertips (cause it makes a better picture heh heh)

My smith pre-model 27 3.5 inch .357 mag. It is as smooth as butter. I love that gun. Bought it for $250 2years ago. I mite have to sell it. They have gone up to much in price not to.

 

[Phil DeGraves]

Got an S-Frame 3&1/2". What a great gun. You stole it at $250, even at two years ago prices.

 

[Ben Shepherd]

Thinking about it any of my 41 redhawks.

I was going to say something else. But after serious thought it seems like when I want to just enjoy a day at the range, one of them and an ammo can of "home-rolled" loads go with me.

 

[nbkky71]

I'd have to say my Smith & Wesson 625 is mine.

 

[rickinmd]

S&W performance center model 29. With 240gr SWCs at about 950 fps it is a joy to shoot. Smooth trigger , interchangeable front sight, nice heft.

 

[Juna]

S&W Model 10 Heavy 4" barrel. No doubt.

Shoots fantastic groups, fits great in my hand, reliable as heck, tested in the field, etc.

 

[jerkface11]

Ruger Security Six

 

[bakert]

This K frame S&W 66 was probably my favorite DA until my wife claimed it. She still lets me shoot it some.

 

[JJE]

My now over-20-year-old blue steel, snubby S&W Model 10 .38 spl. When I think of a snub-nosed revolver, this is what I think they should look like. When I bought it, I sold a 6" S&W 686, which of course I should have kept. Nice actions on both, but the M-10 is just better looking to me.

 

[ewb45acp]

I'm torn...

My Colt Python is by far the finest revolver I have ever owned. But I think the 4" Trooper .357 is my favorite revolver. It balances great in the hand. It's as accurate as the Python (in my hands, anyway). And it's got a nice classic look. Nothing fancy, all business.

 

[GUNKWAZY]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the Python

Jeff (GUNKWAZY)

 

[P. Plainsman]

S&W 629-6 with half-lug 4" barrel. Looks good, shoots good, tight lockup, smooth & crisp action out of the box. What a Smith is supposed to be. Sturdy but not unpleasantly heavy.

Plus it shoots my favorite cartridges, the two great .44s.

There are few realistic handgun tasks (except perhaps CCW) that she won't handle.
