Lets See Your Favorite Non Smith&Wesson Revolvers

[one eye joe]

There are many fine revolvers in my safe, it is difficult to pick a single favorite

Obviously many Colt Pythons are going to be mentioned. My 2 1/2" Ultimate stainless Python had the Walt Sherman roller bearing action and it amazing to shoot double action

The Dan Wessons are fantastically acurate revovlers. I like them in both 357 SuperMag and 41 Magnum.

Then there is the one that Maxwell Smart inspired

I do have this amazing Colt that Bob Munden built for me many years ago

It is hard for me to believe, but Colt, Dan Wesson and Smith & Wesson make up 90%+ of the revolvers that I own

There are several Taurus snubbies and one of the USFA 12-22s, a Fredom Arms 454, but not much else comes to mind.

YOU HAVE AN AWESOME COLLECTION OF FIREARMS. I AM ALSO A HUGE FAN OF COLT DA REVOLVERS. I WILL POST A COUPLE OF PYTHONS, LATER ON ON THIS THREAD.....

IMHO, TAURUS FIREARMS DO NOT DESERVE TO EXIT IN THE RAREFIED AIR OF YOUR GUN SAFE....

NO DISS TO YOU INTENDED. I ONCE SUNK TO AN ALL-TIME LOW OF OWNING 3---LURED IN BY THEIR LOW PRICE, AND VIUAL APPEAL. I WAS FORTUNATE TO SELL THEM, FOR LESS THAN 1/2 OF WHAT I PAID FOR THEM. RATHER THAN BEING ANGRY---I WAS ELATED AT BEING RID OF THEM......

Here are my non-smiths.
Colt Trooper .357
Colt Commando .38
Colt Lawman MKiii .357
Colt Frontier Scout .22 Duotone
Colt...?!? Was sold to me as an Officers Model Match but is somewhat of a mystery! Has a heavy bull barrel (with no markings), bluing matches throughout, has adjustable sights and an amazing trigger. I would have sold this frankengun but it is the best shooting .22 revolver I have ever picked up hands down. Wish I knew more about it!

Taurus Judge Magnum.

I bought this because my brother owned a Judge which upon handling made me want one, plus my brother had some boxes of Federal Premium .410 Handgun 000 Buck 3" shells he had purchased by mistake which wouldn't fit his standard Judge, so I purchased the "Magnum" version with a longer cylinder and took the ammo off his hands.

It's extremely fun to shoot, and far more accurate than many folks assert that it must be due to the shallow rifling/freebore with .45 Long Colt.

My fathers old Colt. Circa 1965.

FOR DECADES BEFORE I OWNED MY FIRST S&W, I OWNED AND SHOT COLT DA REVOLVERS, EXCLUSIVELY. BELOW ARE 2 OF MY FAVES.....

THE 8" WAS PURCHASED NEW, WHEN SAMPLES WERE BEING SENT OUT TO GUN WRITERS. AN FFL THAT I KNEW, HAD AN IN AT COLT. HE PROCURED 2 OF THEM---ONE FOR ME, AND ONE FOR HIMSELF. THEY WEREN'T COMMONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL MANY MONTHS LATER.....

THE 4" STAINLESS REVOLVER IS A PYTHON ELITE---THE VERY LAST ITERATION OF THE PYTHONS. THEY WERE MANUFACTURED IN THE COLT CUSTOM SHOP. MINE WAS ORDERED WITH THE "ULTIMATE BRIGHT POLISH" FINISH AND THE "SERVICE TUNED ACTION" WHICH LIGHTENS THE TRIGGER PULL, BUT GUARANTEES RELIABLE IGNITION WITH ANY BRAND OF FACTORY AMMO.....

I only own 4 non-S&W revolvers, so picking a favorite is pretty easy.

Jovino Customs, stainless steel Terminator 44 magnum.

EDIT: I forgot a couple. I guess I actually own 6 that aren't S&W.

I have a 6" Python for show but this one, Colt Agent, earns its keep.

A couple years ago I would have had to sit this thread out. However, I'm not ashamed of my Colt collection and I'm really fond of my 4 inch Colt Diamondback in 22lr. Its not a safe queen as it does get carried and shot in the field from time to time.

The Colt Magnum Carry also gets a nod for one of the best non Smith revolvers ever made, mine sports a set of Herretts when its not wearing the factory Hogues.

.32 S&Ws are just a whole lot of fun.
This is an Euscaro from Eibar

I have more than just a couple non-Smith revolvers, but this is one of my very favorites:

 

[gman51]

I would have to go with my Colt Python and Colt Trooper MKV.

 

[Toyman]

My favorite non S&W is a Colt Shooting Master in 357 caliber with
King rib and Roper grips. The grips are large and I have trouble shooting it double action but shooting it single action with 38 special wad cutters is a dream. The gun is heavy and absorbs recoil so easy to keep on target.

Lets See Your Favorite Non Smith&Wesson Revolvers

That's like asking which is your favorite child........pythons, troopers, Lawman, scouts, new cobra, SAA's, old .41 Thunderer, or the old war horse 1917. I don't have a revolver that isn't a Smith or a Colt.

Oh wait I do have a lone Ruger.

THAT'S A BIT OF HANDGUN HISTORY. ASTRA AND JOVINO WERE LEADERS IN THE MOVEMENT TOWARD BIG BORE SNUBS.....

One of these

Twin Colt Cobras. Can't figure how to upload from my computer to post the photo.

 

[OLDSTER]

A great thread and many beautiful and some unique revolvers. But I'm surprised not more photos of the Ruger SP101

I like a lot of you think there is a place for a Single Action Army. Mine I believe was one of the frames sold to Great Western when Colt had made the short term decision not to reintroduce the S A A. This Great Western Sheriff model is neat to carry and shoot. Colt rethought its position and reintroduced the Colt S A A in 1955. My Colt revolver is A Single Action Scout from the early 1970s.
