Unlucky at love,lucky at guns III, the 45 caliber edition.

Allen-frame · Feb 23, 2010

In my eyes ,the N frame in 45 caliber is what a Smith revolver should be.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate all the K frames the Js and even
the L frames. They are all cool.

Here are 5 N frames in 45 a.c.p. ,6 in 45 Colt ctg. and 2 X frames
in 460 magnum ,which technically ,is 45 caliber.

Let's see yours ,and how do they shoot?

Can you identify the different models shown in this picture?

Regards ,, Allen Frame

Allen;
You are obviously a man of discernment (AND good taste

>)).

I am a believer although I only have two 625's (a 625-6 with 5" barrel and a 625-8 Jerry Miculek Special with 4" barrel). Here is the 5":

As a pistol and revolver shooter I am just an aging, fat, old man but I shoot these better than almost anything else I have: Standing at 25 yards;

Nice collection Buddy!

I have a 1917, shipped in 1918, but I am just starting

HOWEVER,
One point I would make, to me it seems that all revolvers should have wooden grips.
They just seem right.

Yes, the rubber grips make it more pleasant to shoot, I don't know if I would want to shoot a 500 with wood grips, but they don't look correct to me.

Oh and I noticed no 1917's or Model 22's?

valkyriekl · Feb 26, 2010

How'd I do?

Edit: correction, the 625-6 at the bottom should be a 625-7 (PP, even)
Edit2: that 625-4 is probably a 625-2, now that I look at the front sight and flash chromed trigger/hammer a bit more

The hideout grips on the scoped 460 are a nice touch.

Replace hideout with hideous.
Anyway, nice collection.

My favorite revolver is my 625JM. But, for me, the wooden JM grips just don't work. They're very cool looking but I've got a more or less permanent bone bruise at the base of my right thumb courtesy of those grips. Someone on this forum suggested that I order a set of N-Frame nightguard grips for the gun. I believe they're Pachmayrs. Have done so and they're on their way. So yes, wooden grips look much nicer but rubber has its place.

My 625-7 in .45LC would be one of the very last to go!

Where to get the grips on the 460

Where did you get the grips for the 460? Thanks

Heres 3 of my still growing N frame collection M-27-2 Nikcle 3.5" on its way for nextweek delivery
M-1917 shipped 1918
M-1917 shipped 1919 Stag's
M-625JBy the way all HG's are loaded with snap caps not ammo

Here's a couple. The NG shoots much better since S&W regulated the sights. It's not a 25-2, but certainly adequate to the vast majority of tasks one might encounter (even in my hands).

This one has amazed me so far in the accuracy dept., but haven't shot it that much yet.

nice 1917 bubbajoe.
