Hello from Sacramento, CA

[Mitch95]

Hello All,

After having spent the last 5 or so years admiring various manufactures of wheel guns online I decided it was time for me to start exploring first hand some of them up close.

I spent the past 2 years reading, researching, and watching various educational or entertainment based videos and eventually found myself more and more interested in Smiths.

Long story short Covid hit and I started buying. I've purchased 4 pistols to date 3 of which I now have in my possession. The Ruger I haven't yet been able to pickup from my FFL.

Model 19-3 4 Inch Blued 1972-3

Model 66-1 4 Inch Stainless 1978-9

Pre-Model 27 8 3/8 Inch Blued 1956

Ruger Old Model Blackhawk .41 Mag 6.5 Inch 1968
-Blued with an awesome plum on the entire back strap and underside of the frame and trigger guard.

I've been really enjoying the content on here and the respect and friendliness is a breath of fresh air from the usual internet stuff.

Thanks for the great information and I look forward to spending more time on here and learning much more.

Cheers

Welcome aboard! I'm a "neighbor" of yours to the South in the Sac Delta region. You've done well under our challenges of the DOJ handgun roster and PPT logistics.

You have one of my Ruger SA grail guns... drool. The closest I've come is this New Model Blackhawk .41 Mag:
