What's the most Beautiful Revolver?

[Evil Dog]

My vote for overall would be a 4 & 3/4 Colt SAA blue & color case with B or C engraving with a set of yellowed Ivory grips.

Kind of like John Wayne used in "The Shootist"... looked very good but wasn't an actual Colt.

32 Hand Ejector (Postwar) with 3.25 inch barrel.

I have long thought that the proportions on prewar four-inch round butt I-frames were just about perfect. If the gun also has target sights, that completely closes the gap. (Of course that means we are talking only about the prewar .22/32 Kit Guns when it comes to standard production guns, and maybe a few special order .32 Long targets with short barrels from early in the century.)

A Kit Gun:

That may look like a nickel finish at first glance, but it's just that deep prewar blue catching the light in a special way.

BUT

1950 5" .44SPL Target---- Hands Down. Big Bore with the sexy tapered barrel. OH MY

This one will do.

It's a toss-up between these two -

 

[JCS&W]

Guess I will go with the M27-2 nickel 4". Wearing some Kurac stocks.

As much as I like the lines of the Colt 1861 Navy, I think the fluted cylinder of the Colt 1862 Police is just sexier......

The model 10-5.

That would be a 586 with a 4" barrel.

Mods, I answered the OP's question.
You can lock the thread now.

And here all these years I THOUGHT YOU WERE an N Frame ?
( a closet I FRAME luster...)

I hate to say it on the S&W forum, but, to me, the Python is the most beautiful revolver. Especially the 2 1/2" AND 4" Pythons.

Not far behind, you've gotta love the M19 and a 4" M29 Smith. The Colt SAA is no slouch either...

So many great looking revolvers, and hey, aren't they suppose to be like kids; you don't pick favorites...?

 

[dewey]

Let's don't get too caliber sensitive...And my youngest IS my favorite.

Fine .... Just Fine.. here's JUST ONE!! forget you even saw the others

 

[Sprefix]

Here's my very favorite in caliber(.45 Colt), looks, and grips(thanks DWFAN).
Next would be one of the Dukes SAA's in the shootist. A big thanks to Nedroe also.

Oh, man. If I was you I'd be mad as hell! That gun is all scratched up. Some people are just careless.

And a 4" 586 is still the prettiest.
