Show Your Revolvers

In my searching I did not come across a thread for posting pictures of revolvers. I have owned and shot automatics, but something about the dependable revolver appeals to me. I would be interested in seeing others.

Here is my small collection, all Smith & Wesson. I have target grips on them for my monthly competition, but prefer the look of the original Magnas. From top to bottom they are: Model 642 (.38 spl +p), Pre-model 10 "Military and Police" (.38 spl) and my Pre-model 18 "Combat Masterpiece" (.22 LR).

Reproduction Colt Walker,
44 cal, 65 grain black powder charge.

Very nice revolver Joamo. I am familiar with muzzleloaders, I assume yours takes cartridges?

Only combustible cartridges.

Pietta replica of Colt 1851 Navy .36, custom knife made by a local smith, with all leather work done by myself about 25 years ago.

I sold mine...

A loyal old friend from my younger and dumber days:
Late 60's or early 70's era S&W Model 19, tuned action, target hammer, trimmed trigger guard, white outline rear sights, red ramp front sights, and Hogue hard nylon Monogrip.

I haven't made any combustible cartridges for it, so I pour and ram each chamber. My best accuracy has been with conical bullets, 30 gr black powder and 35 gr corn meal poured on top as a filler.

Not a big wheel gun guy, but I have a few...

Uberti replica, Remington 1858 New Army, .44 cal.



1945, Tula Arsenal, M1895 Nagant.

Combustible cartridges are kind of fun to develop, but they are no real advantage unless you are trying to use cap and ball revolvers in a SASS match or something similar where you have only a limited time to prepare your firearms between stages. You still have to worry about getting any embers out of each chamber, and ensuring that your cylinder is not bound up by fouling.

Too many to post all, but here's a few:

One of my favorites-Smith & Wesson 629 (.44 Magnum) with a Ritchie holster. Great combination

How do the big dots affect POA/POI on those? How low do you end up aiming?

Drooooooool!

I love the .44 Special. Especially when it's housed in vintage Smith & Wesson iron.

Here's a Model of 1926 made in 1931.
.

Quite a few too choose from, but I'll leave this one here for now....

Great looking revolvers everyone, thank you for sharing!
