r/Revolvers

Ive been a long time lurker of the group but i finally got my hands on a wheel gun. Couldnt be more in love. I got a decent deal on it considering i traded my sig p320 compact for it.

Bought the GP100 as my first revolver and instantly fell in love with them as well as the .357 magnum cartridge. Anyone have any recommendations for what I should look into as my next one? Preferably 5” barrel or less.. definitely need another 3” or less to add to the small collection

These videos describe how I set up My Taurus 942 22 hellhar for dry fire setup and a little bit of practice video

Smith and Wesson M1917. I contacted them and it was manufactured in 1910.

This one will not be getting fired. Forgive my floor pics.
If you want a different angle let me know.

The new S&W 442 UC. Barrel’s canted to the right. Time to contact S&W…🤦‍♂️

Finally managed to add one of these unicorns to the collection a few years ago.

The Model 632-1 was Smith & Wesson’s first revolver chambered in .327 Federal Magnum, produced only for a short run (roughly 2009–2011). This example is the matte black Chief’s Special configuration with a 3-inch barrel, adjustable rear sight, and the factory Carry Comp port.

From what I’ve been able to piece together, there were several variants:
170329 – Matte black, 3” barrel, Carry Comp, adjustable rear sight (pictured)
178028 – Matte stainless, 3” barrel (catalog doesn’t mention porting)
178045 – Stainless 3” Carry Comp made for Sports South (2009)
A 2⅛-inch DAO Centennial-style version produced around 2010–2012

I’d still love to track down one of the DAO models to complete the set.

For those who own one of these:
How do you like the .327 Federal Magnum in a J-frame?
Have you found the Carry Comp porting makes a noticeable difference?

Any idea how many of these were actually produced?
Looking forward to hearing what the revolver crowd knows about these.

I’ve gotten my M83 down to a 7.5 pound DA and 3 pound SA, this is probably about as good as I will ever get it. Hammer velocity has been further increased and it is a pleasure to shoot.

Thought today would be a good day to show this guy off, made in 1976, the 200th Year of American Liberty.
Hoping to get something made this year to go along with it.

Happy 4th for those who celebrate, figured i’d share a picture of some classics.

Today is one of the good days. Traipsing around on public land, bringing a few native Redeye bass to hand with a fly rod, and accompanied by a sixgun. Not too shabby.

Picked this up from my FFL today, condition is even better than I expected. Have some Ahrends stocks on the way for it that should do the trick

I need help finding a set of Classic Magna style grips in wood, the photo is the closest thing ive found but its not wood and everything else is too squared off for a comfortable grip making it feel to thick.

I got it out of jail this morning. I swear everyone at S&W, the LGS, and their cousins touched this Model 19 no-lock before I could get it home. It had finger prints everywhere. I cleaned it up and have it good enough to shoot (sure hard to get every dust speck off a blued-gun). I am excited to try this out on the range this week. I bought a variety of .38 spl, +p, and .357 to run through it.

My wife inherited my mom’s old model 19, 2” (see last photo), so technically this is my first Model 19. Her Model 19 is on a limited diet of .357, so I am glad this one is made to have a steady diet of it, although I am sure my wallet and wrists might put a limit on that.

Just picked up a new 629. 4lb Single action right out of the box. Couldn't be happier!

Hey pals!

I changed the grip on the nebula to chiappa’s walnut, I hated the finger grooves that the stock blue grip had and it was making it painful to shoot. Although I did like the look.

The original walnut is a great size for my hand, and I dig the look. One of my most accurate shooters.
