That's gorgeous. Why do you need one in the S69000 range?

I certainly like mine! # 59398 from 1940. It's the best shooter I have!

Nice score. I love the grain on those grips.
Hard to beat the early postwar OD's

I have one in similar condition, came with some cokes. Great shooter, in fact next range trip (if the weather ever gets above 17) I think I will make it an outdoorsman trip and take the 38/44 and the .22 OD

Thanks for the comments! I plan on seeing what this one shoots like too, but will wait for a day that the weather gets out of single digits!
Hondo44-Transition 38/44 Outdoorsman serial number range is S69000-S71000. Now that I have one in S70000 and S71000, all I need for the trifecta is the S69000 range!
Thanks,

Unfair ! Transitional Outdoorsman are my very favorite revolvers and you are buying them all up !  I am going to start buying Heavy Duties !
VERY nice one !
Over 2,300 transitional Outdoorsman were produced and I know of only 30 in the S 69000 range that exist for sure !
Thank you for the photos !

Was that "very good friend" a portly old, bearded gentleman in a red suit?  If so, that friend of yours has also made my Christmas for many years...
Congrats on a beauty!

I think I will go back today and see if he is still there. I want to be his friend too.
1Aspenhill, super gun and I am glad you got the serial number you were looking for.

Very nice. I think there are some indoor ranges close to you! Have a nice new year. This one has ended rather well for you.

Very nice Bill!
I noted that your Transition has the sight to the end of the barrel. Mine is recessed back a bit like my Registered Magnum.
