I worked over time all summer and bought some vintage revolvers.
Here's what they call a 5 screw .22. Sweet shooter.
-
That's a beaut! K22 Masterpiece? You going to show the other five on the rack behind it? Looks like a whole lot of OT worth.
-
Haha, that's the idea, show off some old shootin irons and share some thoughts.
Note on the .22, it has the speed hammer.
-
That is a good looking revolver! Very interested in seeing the other five. Keep the pics coming.
-
Never shot the .22 model. I had a buddy in college that would bring his dad's M14 6" .38 special down so we could go shooting. I have never shot a more accurate revolver than that old M14. My 586 is good, but not quite that good.
Always said that if I ever ran across one at a gun show I'd have to buy it. Then, over the years, I pretty much quit shooting revolvers, so I don't even look for them anymore.
A nice/slick S&W is tough to beat when you're looking for a pleasure to shoot.

This shot shows some features of this gun. The lines on the back strap show the age. New ones have more.
Counter bored chambers. Case hardening on the speed hammer.
This gun has a frame mounted firing pin. I'd guess that's so the face of the cylinder isn't struck and damaged by the firing pin
if dry fired.
Lots of mis-fires with Federal Auto Match, but runs great with any other ammo. Go figure.

Did somebody say Model 14?
(https://i.ibb.co/7RhdqkZ/model14.jpg) (https://ibb.co/D8dHZrv)
At 10 yards soda cans are a piece of cake. Older, it has a pinned barrel. Target stocks, hammer and trigger.
You can see the pin in the top strap right above the forcing cone.

Gotta love a nice Wheeler
I have 6 and my Wife has her 2, all Rugers though

I love those 5 screws.

Am a huge revolver fan with 4” M15, M627 pro, M625 JM, M686-4+, M63, 2 “ M64-2, 3” M24 and a 3” GP 100 WC. Have shot them all in competition and have a hoot. Some may say wheel guns are old school and are obsolete need to watch Jerry Michelek.

Old Target Masterpiece. I have yet to shoot this one cause I shoot the old M 14
This on is a 5 screw with a speed hammer.

Heey, Highway Patrolman. 5 screw.

I've got one about that size. N frame 4" barreled .357 magnum. But mine has no adjustable rear sight, just a groove down the top of the frame. Seems like they called that one a M520. I never have shot that gun. Not sure how well it shoots. Has those skinny little grips on it. Not sure if they're okay on a bigger/heavier N frame or if it would need some better/bigger grips if I was going to shoot it a lot.

Did you say, Jerry? On the barrel this gun says; "45 CAL MODEL OF
1989"
.45 ACP from moon clips. And NO, I can't soot like Jerry!
-
Is that a 625? You wouldn't happen to have an M1917 in your collection too?
-
Yes, it's a 625 - 3. And sorry, no. No 1917 yet.
Might get a 6 inch M 25 soon though.
-
Cut my teeth on a Smith K frame, and carried an L frame for years until the automatic revolution. Still like a K frame the best. Have a no dash 66, but that's all, when I think of the SW revolvers I have sold in my life, I want to cry.

what's a baby zebra called (https://babynamesetc.com/animal)
Lots of love for M19s.
Funny thing is, the 6" barrel is the least accurate for me.
-
Some very nice wheelguns! What is the black one on the far right? Colt Night Cobra perhaps?
-
I'll see your Mdl. 14 6" and raise you a Mdl. 15 4", lol,

The 14 (4 digit ser. no.) was my dad's duty gun when he was a deputy sheriff in Oregon. It is, without question, the most accurate handgun I own. I giggle like a little girl when I send 148 grn. wadcutters through it. Safe Queen wheel guns are not allowed in my house.
-
Black one on the right is a .357 M 19 - 4. Vintage, pinned barrel and recessed cylinder.
I'll try to get better at taking pics now that I can post. Haha.
How about a 5 inch full lug .44 M 29?

There are some really fine revolvers in this thread.
Having grown up in Springfield Mass I'm kinda partial to Smith & Wesson.
I have some classic Smith Autos, but I also wanted a 'modern' S&W revolver.
My N Frame Performance Center 627-5 357 Magnum times 8. Really nice gold bead iron sights and pre-threaded holes atop frame to mount a Scope or Red Dot.

Nice N Frame, Vinny! I have a 627 pro with an additional cylinder converted to shoot 9x23, 38 super , 9mm etc and use it in USPSA and other matches. Fun set up and I still have the original cylinder for 357/ 38s

Thanks Tanners,
I love the 8-shot N frames.
You have an excellent set-up for your 627 Pro, with two cylinders and an impressive range of ammo options . Great choice!
And your other wheelies too. -Vinny

Burley, those S&W 625's are or can be nice. For my 5" I can use ACP moon clips or else load the 45 Rimmed cases when I bother to use single stage press for rimmed cases.

Great to see that Wheelguns a still alive and well !

Like these two:
S&W 327 SNUB NOSE 8 round in 357.
S&W 329 NIGHT GUARD 8 round in 357.
-
Love some revolvers as well. Rugers are my prefered choice, but I admire the S&W ones as well. It is just so hard to learn all the S&W model numbers! Currently I only have one S&W, but I really like it. Next wheel gun to be added to the collection will be a SA Ruger. Thinking Black Hawk or Vaquero.

I pocket carry a Smith J frame from time to time. It disappears in the pocket in a sticky holster

I have a safe full of wheel guns both newer and vintage. I particularly like the S&W 5 screw revolvers from the 1946 to 1980. Here is a sampling of different brands and calibers and barrel length.
From left to right with the cartridge for comparison:
S&W 500, S&W 460XVR, Ruger Alaskan 454 casull, S&W 44 magnum, S&W 686 357 magnum, S&W 638 38 special

Last year my wife asked if I would drive her to her hairdresser because her car was in the shop. (She doesn't like to drive my truck.) The salon is 3 towns away in an area I'm not familiar with. So I reluctantly took her wondering what I would do while I waited? Anyhow, I found a small hole-in-the-wall pawn shop where I ended up walking out with this gorgeous Python. Nowadays I'm always asking her if she needs a ride to her hair salon ....... ;D

Picked this up last night. S&W Model 25 Classic. 45 Colt. Installed a set of Ahrends Retro Combat grips and went shooting.
(https://i.imgur.com/BkK0z6Kl.jpg?1)
(https://i.imgur.com/FVhAW4ol.jpg?1)
Ran 50 "Cowboy" style 250gr hand loads and 50 260gr Keith bullet hunting hand loads through it this morning. Also shot 20 rounds Remington 200gr HTP copper (Barnes XBP) HP. Very accurate with the soft loads and the Remington ammo. I will need to tune the hunting load to this revolver, it's excellent in my Marlin 1894C.
I will be adding a brass bead front sight and tuning the DA trigger at some point. SA is as good as I could want out of the box.

Nowhere near as fancy as y’alls, but my current collection are both .38 Specials, a Charter Arms On Duty and Colt Night Cobra. Had a S&W 686+ as well (pictured beside the Colt), but recently sold it to put a couple of revolvers onto layaway for the wife and M-I-L, a Ruger LCR .327 Magnum and a Charter Arms Professional in .32 H&R Magnum.

Recently got my hands on a new Colt King Cobra, and man this gun is nice. I have about 250 rounds through it at this point - a mix of .38+P and .357 and it has run perfectly.
• The attention to detail, fit & finish on this Colt are really good. This isn't a cheap revolver, and it shows. And while detractors will always say, "they don't make 'em like the used to," this wheelgun shows that Colt isn't just trying to re-create the same thing they made 30 years ago to cash in on being "retro." Instead, they have made updates that I think are real improvements, primarily in terms of the trigger. I think this is one of nicest modern production revolvers available. Quality is on par with the Kimber K6S I've handled.
• The trigger is the best I've felt on a new, out-of-the-box revolver, period. I'm convinced this is in large part due to the new leaf spring design that does away with a coil spring hammer mechanism completely. The trigger travel has none of the feel of a compressing spring - no stacking, no grittiness or 'ticks' as it travels rearward. Just smooth and linear right up to the break. And the SA? Amazing. Zero pre-travel, zero creep and almost scary light.
(https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/800x600q90/923/lNBsHe.jpg)
• Colt really nailed it on the sizing of the new KC, and it is exactly what I've been looking for. The original King Cobras were almost L-frame size. The new KC sits somewhere between a J-frame and a K-frame. Colt shrank the overall frame size, and at the some time beefed up the frame, so while it feels smaller and lighter in the hand than the old King Cobra, it's still feels plenty stout to handle magnum loads. In fact, it's very comparable in size/weight to the 3" SP101 - only one ounce more in weight than the SP101 and offers the bonus of a 6th round on tap. I used to own a 3" GP100 but eventually sold it as it was just too big and heavy for concealed carry. This King Cobra is a much more compact package and I can easily carry it IWB.
