The recent "Mi Familia" thread got me thinking and while there was a topbreak photo thread a while back, I could not find a thread devoted to GROUPINGS of S&W Topbreaks as shown in the "Mi Familia" thread (I just LOVE that shot!!!!). So, my good people, might I humbly suggest & request such a thread each showing multiple/different topbreaks be created for our mutual enjoyment??

Thanks in Advance, Bill

Well I thought it was a good idea......

Bill, I have not had the time to collect and photograph my top-breaks, but can add a picture of 22 & 32 tip-ups if that helps.

Left side - from top:
#1 - 2nd Issue blue/silver
#2 - 6" blue
#2 - 5" blue/nickel
#1 1/2 - Old Model blue
#1 1/2 = Old Model blue
#1 1/2 - New Model blue
# 1 1/2 - New Model rare short barrel nickel

Right side - from top:
#1 - 2nd Issue blue/silver
#2 - 6" blue
#2 - 5" blue
#1 1/2 - New Model nickel

#1 1/2 - New Model rare short barrel nickel

Nice!!

Here is my S&W topbreak revolver in .32 S&W with a target showing results of loading .315 round ball on top of 1.5 grains of Bullseye at 25 feet. The sights on this gun are much better than either my .32 S&W hand ejector or my Colt Pocket Positive and the trigger is very nice also. Most people don't bother shooting these old topbreaks much less loading for them but they are a lot of fun.

here is a clone belgium 50 cal that i,m working up a load for.

WOW, I am impressed.

I am just now getting my feet wet with Tip Ups.



Got the #1 about a year ago, picked up the 1 1/2 last week.

Nice start Driftwood. My first tip-up was a Model 1, Third Issue and I shot it quite a bit. It is a true testement to S&W durability that these guns still function after almost 150 years. CB ammo works well in the little tip-up, but accuracy is not a hallmark of the Model 1. That must be the reason they never made a target Model 1!

almost a top break:


this is a top break but not SW:


I need more.

Shouldn't tip ups and top breaks be in seperate sections? They aren't really the same thing.

These are mine. I shoot them all in SASS sidematches.

Here are some more:

Cased Single Shot and two .32 SAs

.38 New Departures

.32 New Departures

.32 SAs

.44 DA, .38 DA, and .38 Perfected
