Nice grips you had made for your issue sidearm Tom.
Here's a new Ruger I traded some work for. It's a lipseys special flat top Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 special. I love it! This is the first rig I've made like this as well.
That's a handsome ensemble you have right there! Any .44 Special revolver is "special." The hue of the leather is appealing too.
I think we've had this discussion by the 44 special is my pet caliber. The color of the leather was an accident, err... I meant to do that all along
Sweet looking rig!
Smith and Wesson Model 586 357 w/ 8 3/8 inch barrel
Smith and Wesson Model 57 41 Magnum (coated in oil; not very shiny)
Smith and Wesson Model 57 41 Magnum (coated in oil; not very shiny)
H&R 922 (circa 1927 I think) 22lr with 6 inch barrel
Smith and Wesson Model 54 38 special with 2 inch barrel
Smith and Wesson Model 54 38 special with 2 inch barrel
...for those moments when too much just isn't enough
Had my Super Redhawk converted for greater versatility. Barrel was chopped to 6" ported and slabbed, Fiber optic front site, trigger job and cut for moons so I can utilize 45 acp if I choose. Also had the dark gray factory finish blasted to satin
Georgeous revolver!! Who did the work?
Could you give us a paragraph on this Model 54. Smith & Wesson never issued it, it was an experimental version, although there are a few out there. Since it seems to be a spitting image of a Model 36, and it is also a .38, I'm curious what S&W was trying to do with the Model 54. Any info you have would be interesting (at least to me).
Wild West Guns in Anchorage...
Took a Pict of my "Cowboy" guns yesterday.
It's a typo and should have been Model 64, the stainless steel version of the K-Frame Model 10. It's a larger 6-shot revolver. The the most obvious difference, other than overall dimensional differences in the Model 36 and the Model 64 as seen in the photo, is that the Model 36's locking bolt notches will be located at the rear of the cylinder flutes while the larger 6-shot Smith & Wesson snub models will feature locking bolt notches in between the flutes.
Here is a Smith & Wesson Model 10 2-inch revolver with round butt of which the Model 64 is the stainless steel variant.
Here is the original and first configuration of the 5-shot Chief's Special built on Smith & Wesson's J-Frame and manufactured prior to the adoption of the Model 36 designation.
The locking bolt notches will be seen to be differently located.

Yes, the stainless 2 inch barrel 38 special pictured below is a model 64, not a 54. Sorry about that. This particular one was issued to the Capitol Police in D.C. and then sold to the public when the went to semi-autos. Thanks to noelekal for spotting that.

I'd "like" your post, dreadpirate, if the Forum offered the option to do so. I love those K-Frame Smith & Wesson snubs.
