Big bore snubbies

[SAFireman]

How about a trio of 44 Mags? These are a handful, but the 240gr slug moving at 1100-1400 fps should make quick work of goblins and miscreants

How about it? Show what ya got

Left to right: 629 EFFECTOR, 58-29 Jovino/Behlert, and 629-5 Camfor Limited.

Amazing collection. That 58-29 Jovino is stunning.

How bout a duo? Model 29-3 Lew Horton overrun and a Model 296 Ti.

 

[WCCPHD]

Here's a gaggle of big bore snubbies



And another: Model 296



Some individual photos of those above.

Jovino, Model 25-2


629-3 Lew Horton, Carry Comp (Mag Comp)






629-6 Camfour




Model 696




Even though I have small hands, I simply love N frame, short barrel, big bore revolvers. Also not against L frames.

 

[Cal44]

I only have one.

A 629 backpacker.

2.5" ported barrel.

These were a limited run for some distributor I believe.

How about old school. Here is a .455 Hand Ejector that was converted to .45 Colt and had the barrel cut:

This one used to be mine, now lives with another member. I got it from a friend, unfortunately he recently passed. We couldn't determine who did the work. It was marked 28-2 but converted to .44spl. I had some issues with it when I first got it, had a local talented gunsmith get it squared away. Good shooter after that. Has the looks/features of either Behlert or Jovino. Here's the thread from when I got it (just past 2 years ago):
Possible Jovino 28-2 .44spl **Update Post 35 w/range visit**

Well dang, I'll play. They don't get along together so no group picture.

24-3



24-6



624



629-1



629-6



29-3

If that was fixed sight with a bobbed hammer.... That's pretty much my dream gun. The 296 Ti is close... but not quite the one. That Camphor 44 is amazing too! Gah I love 44 snubby carry guns with rounded edges.

There are some beautiful Big Bore Snubies in this thread!

Prototype S&W 460 Night Guard built for display at 2008 Shoot Show. Apparently the gun got little interest and was not produced.
It has all the features of the other guns in the Night Guard series except it is still stainless frame and was finished with Black Magic.

Here is mine, just a standard 629-1 snubby, but a fun little pistol.

The is a thing of beauty. If you ever want to sell or trade it, let me know.

I had a Horton 29-3. Got it because I really liked my M36-1 with the 3” barrel. Turns out I prefer the 4” tapered barreled N frames preferably in 45 ACP.

My wrist hurts just looking at it!

 

[fortyshooter]

Well here is a pair of mine...629-2E and the .45/.454 Alaskan.
Think I am well covered.

 

[Irate45]

Here's my 625-7, .45LC, with Ahrends tactical grips.

 

[LPD256]

325 NG in .45acp. One pound less than a 1911. Launches same bullets.

Nuthin unique but the shoes...

I've got this one too, it's not quite a snubby, which is why I did not put into my original post. This is a commercial 1917 in .45ACP with the barrel snipped to 4". I imagine some old time copper must have really known what he wanted and had this gun cut down from the original 5.5":

 

[BLUEDOT37]

I like big bore snubbies too!

Nothin' more fun!
