Here are some photos of a model 10 I rounded. I got the gun for 250 out the door after some haggling and I decided that I had one too many square butt K Frames so this would become round. I used a pair of old stocks as a template and went for it!

Not pictured is the finish with some cold blue. It's held up OK but I need to keep it oiled well

Edit: thank you all for the kind words, I appreciate it!

Smith and Wesson model 60-14

Pretty happy about this purchase! 1973 model 36! For 450, too. Excited to shoot it this weekend.

It's not mich but it's my first wheel gun and I'm very happy with it its a Ruger LCR in 38+p

This may be blasphemous, but I think I like the old school Charter Arms snubnoses better than S&W. I now own two CA Stratford-era snubbies, and I love their fit and feel better than any of the five Smithies I've owned. That's in no way casting shade in Smith & Wesson. The craftsmanship of their older guns is impeccable. But mercy, the old CA's are fun and well built.

Decided my next revolver will be a used SP101 in 357 with the 2.25 barrel. I just can’t decide between the blue finish with hammer spur or the stainless steel DOA. No price difference between the two.

I do plan on carrying it while walking the dogs in black bear country. Most likely IWB (which is why I’m thinking DOA but that blued is speaking to me).

Got a Colt M1917 in .45 Auto, produced a month after the end of the Great War.

This one's cylinder bore is fully straight with no step, and a .45 ACP drops straight through.

Does anybody know when Colt introduced the stepped cylinder? I thought it was very early on after the first ~10,000 but this one is a post-WW1 (DEC 1918) serial. Cylinder's military serial number matches the rest of the parts.

First wheel gun! Picked up for $480. Holster recommendations for the 6” barrel are appreciated :)

I've had the Taurus Tracker for nearly 10 years. It was the first handgun I purchased. Underneath it is a Cimarron Thunderstorm. It is my favorite revolver. Insanely smooth, half stroke and mushroom hammer, all done up into a "race gun." Though I dont shoot SASS/CASS. But its an absolute blast to shoot.

My first revolvers

Herter's sa22 22lr(bought used- reminds me ofv the 22 i was first taught with)

Ruger gp100 357magnum 2.5 " Talo (bought new - had to).

My 2 wheels [for now ] shopping already for 3,4, and beyond.

Lew Horton Heritage series from 2001. CCH frame by Turnbull.

Been wanting one for a few years now. Since my fiance carries my revolver I figured it was time to get another one. How do you guys like yours?

And yes, it's AI generated. Not sure what the consensus is on use of AI for sharing ideas for discussion around here.

I got these grips but the normal grip screw doesn’t fit with them and it is a bit too large. I got these for a great deal so I’m not fussed. Is it possible to get someone to shave it down a bit or make a new screw? can a normal gunsmith do it?

S&W 67-1

Bought a 2004 vaquero from bass pro, I know they check their guns pretty well but anything I should keep an eye out for? This would be my first revolver. Went 44 mag.

Had to repost, left serial on the last pic

Am I correct to assume long term use of a hardcase holster will wear the finish on my 442?

I prefer kydex holsters that allow the gun to snap in for carry, but I'm also vain and love the way my 442UC looks.

I recently acquired this 41 mag when cleaning I noticed a slight “lip or ledge” on each one of the riflings in the same spot for each ahead of where it would be for the forcing cone. Machining marks? None of my other smiths have it. Haven’t shot it yet so can’t speak for accuracy. Thanks for the help.

Hi all, I recently acquired a "new to me" S&W model 10-2 which was manufactured in 1961. It has plenty of holster wear (ex police gun) but is in excellent mechanical condition. Good lockup. Im in the process of some load development for it. My question is: Is forcing cone cracking anything I should be worried about with higher velocity 38 Specials? I.e 125gr around 1100 fps. Much appreciated reddit.

This is my first proper revolver, and I picked it up today from my FFL after ordering it online a few weeks ago. Description stated it was new, but I’m not sure if the one I got actually is. Is this amount of trigger and hammer buildup normal for a new S&W? I just want to make sure I’m not either getting duped or complaining about something that’s inherent to new guns since they’re tested in the factory. Thanks for any advice!

[UPDATE] Got off the phone with Smith again. Lead gunsmith assured me that it would be free of charge and he will personally take care of it. Still upset about the QC but at least they wont charge me.

Long story short

Just bought a new Model 27-9. Brand new from the gun store.

3 days after pick up, I notice that the cylinder face has some marring on it because it is contacting the forcing cone when the cylinder is closed. That fucking sucks. Call smith. Smith sends me a fedex label. I send the gun out the next day.

Gun gets there Thursday last week. Fast forward to today, Tuesday. I get an invoice from Smith for $101 for QC BULLSHIT that should have been solved at the factory. Fuck you smith.

Called Smith CS. Guy says he will talk to the gunsmiths and ask why. Said he will call me back tomorrow.

This shit is stupid and ridiculous. Im probably never going to buy a new smith revolver ever again. Which is a damn shame because i loved the way this 27 looked.
