Lazy R Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I always liked wheelguns. Started out with them; my first was a Bicentennial Ruger Security Six 357. My dad has it now. I sold it to him when I bought a new 586 8 3/8" in 1985 or so. Had it forever then sold it and ended up with a 6" 686. Built the herd some after that. I love all these things. I have a bunch of autos but really enjoy shooting the wheel guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) I’m still mulling over this model 10 2” round butt. It’s $600, which on one hand sounds high for a model 10. But, it’s also near mint with bluing that shows almost no handling marks, holster wear, or staining, much less signs of any significant round count. The fact that it’s beautiful is going to influence me to pay too much for it. I really want a blued model 10 snubby to carry this winter. I carried a 3” model 64 the last two winters and it was a fun gun to carry and practice with. Decisions decisions.........

Collim1 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 I won the auction for that snubby model 10. I was the only bidder. I hope to have her sometime next week. I’ve already completed the checkout process so hopefully it ships tomorrow or Monday. I’m planning to post some pics of her in a new thread when I get her in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collim1 Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Already found a model 10 no dash in very minty condition, and a 581 I want as well. The 581 looks great, and would be a great shooter for the 125g loads I don’t shoot in my K frames. I have had extremely good luck on Gunbroker lately. I’m watching these two as well and would love to take one home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 I’m passing on the 581. I have a ton of holsters and speedloaders for K frames, no sense in throwing something else into the mix. I’m really wanting a 4 or 5 inch pencil barrel model 10. I’m looking at a 5” four screw online, but l feel like I’m rolling the dice buying a gun that old without being able to put hands on it first. No telling what kind of lockup, timing or bubba gunsmithing issues it could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 The snubby model 10 will be here tomorrow. I’m anxious to check it out. I lost a couple auctions this week for some nice model 10’s and I’m watching another. I don’t enjoy “the hunt” like some people do. I just want a nice minty four or five inch pencil barrel model 10. Ready to find me one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Here's a picture of my snub nose collection. It's not much compared to some of you guys. Top to bottom: North American Arms .22 Magnum, Ruger SP101 (.357 Magnum) , Ruger LCR (.357 Magnum), S&W Model 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 My best shooter is this Ruger GP100 Match Champion. It's a bit more accurate with the stock wooden grips, but they tear the web of my hand up a bit, so I put the Pachmayr's on there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDcent Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've always had a thing for stainless S&W N frames; also have some stainless K and J frames, but N frames make better weapons when empty. I had sweaty/oily hands when I was growing up, so, I move toward stainless steel firearms whenever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXUSMC Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Just "pulled the trigger" on a used Super Blackhawk, for no other reason that I loved the looks of it and love the single action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 2 four inch 686's before the keyhole, 2 6 inch .357's before the keyhole (all stainless). A Rugger .22lr revolver (stainless) .357 size for training those in the family cheaply to learn the difference in how you hold and semi auto, and how you hold a revolver (so in the event of something catastrophic), you can keep your thumbs.

ede Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Collin I've had good results with E3 in 38 spl and Short Colts but not much data to be found. You might want to gauge your cylinder throats or just try larger diameter bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ede Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Not sure if this is my favorite or not but I've had some success with it, S&W 617-2. Pair of 627s I shoot when I want to shoot centerfire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I take if the 627 is a hunting revolver, as it looks like it has been to hell and back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on 1st place, that’s fast company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
