Lets see you custom Smith & Wesson's. Here is one that I won't get rid of, it started life as a model 10 and is now a 32 mag. that I shoot Bulleye with. I use 32 Longs and it is way better than me. Been thinking about having it hard chromed, it has a bunch of wear but solid as a rock.
Here is the first target that it shot the night we got her done - 25 yards slow fire Bullseye style.

I Think this would be my only custom built revolver. Although I do have some that has been worked over by clark custom, but that is internal.
686-5 7 shooter moon clipped.

Looks like the Model 16-4 I used to use in Hunter Pistol Silhouette back when they were first introduced. I made the mistake of letting mine go a couple of years later thinking that Smith would never drop this fine gun from the line - Silly me. From the bench, it would cut one ragged hole out to 75 meters and would still stay right about an inch at 100!!!

Bunch of wear? Man, I certainly need new glasses, that Smith looks great to me. Very nice.

Joni I like the sound of that - 10/32 , thats what I'm going to call it from now on.
R_K very nice, how does she shoot?
ladder13 - it was a LE gun when I got it, the bluing on the frame has alot of wear. A little wax does make her look good.

That's a nice target, and I admire your custom gun. BullsEye is fun, but beyond the capability of my eyes and muscle tone.

Here is one of my few custom revolvers. It is a Light Hunter in .44 Magnum:
It came in an S&W Performance Center Aluminum Case and had wood grips (I can't shoot with wooden grips even though I like their looks). It has a LOVELY nice action. Another one of those "Modern Revolvers" that I love so well .
This is a Performance Center revolver and I hope that meets your standard for "Custom" (it does mine ).

This 25-5 has been worked over by Austin Behlert.
Smooth as butter, accurate as the dickens, magna ported, converted to RB, and a jeweled hammer and trigger.
I thought the Behlert was the smoothest revolver I ever handled, until the day I took this one to the range. Purchased from a fellow forum member here a while back.
It started life as a 610-2, with a 3 inch barrel which has been swapped out to a 4" one, and smooth, OMG, like the whole action has been dipped in the smoothest substance known to man. I don't know who did the work, but it is top notch. The cylinder has been fluted and chamfered on the leading edge to facilitate smooth holstering. It has a swapable front sight so if I get tired of the red fiber optic I can get another color. This is one of the best buys I have ever made, good thing I was looking at the forum that night. It has replaced my Delta Elite as my primary carry gun.
As is the case with most custom revolvers, bith of these have a ball/detent installed.

Here's my Model "369". It started as a Bud's Gun Shop special, a 360 chambered for .38spl. I sent it to Mark Hartshorne (Pinnacle High Performance) and he rechambered it to 9mm (actually 9x23), cut the cyl for moonclips and chamfered the holes, did an action job, a partial bob on the hammer, rounded and polished the trigger, and replaced the front sight with a fiber optic. I put on the Crimson Trace grips and right now the cyl is away at Robar getting coated with their NP3 finish. It is the perfect BUG/all the time gun for me - small and light (13oz), 9mm (same as my duty and off duty guns), moonclips, and a revolver so no matter how bad things get I know it's going to work!
