Is it ok to just really like them for no particular reason?

Any of you like them for reasons, or no reasons? You should show off your old S&Ws that have them.

The reason for this post is that I finally got around to finding a lanyard ring to replace the missing one on this 1917:





A gun that sort of occupies a weird spot in my heart, I always loved it, despite the reblue scrubbing all the military markings off. It does seem to be a rather old re-finish, and inoffensive to my rather strange sensibilities. It's much like the factory refinish on my triple lock.

Still, I usually don't like reblued guns, so this one pleasing me is a real oddity, especially with the intentional removal of markings.

If anyone is interested in the details of the modification, and they aren't just enraptured by the glorious lanyard ring:

The front sight is King, as is the rear blade, the rear sight itself seems to be a factory S&W sight. As mentioned the gun is refinished with special care to remove those military markings, although they were at least savvy enough when they did it to stamp the S/N under the grips on both sides of the frame. There are no other markings under there.

The fun thing is that the hammer is a concentric grooved...registered magnum hammer. It makes for such an odd snappy action. I don't know if I just have to buy the weird ones (and discover extra weirdness when I sit down and look at them later), or if the weird ones seek me out.


Anyway, enough about that gun.

I'd like to see your Lanyard equipped S&Ws!
