[The Norseman]

...You can't only have one

Wow! Fantastic! Great Smith & Wesson, Great Revolver, and
Great Caliber!

Thank you for taking the time to post and sharing Pictures as
always.

44's Forever!

Beautiful but, it looks lonely. Maybe a nice 4" Mod. 29 to keep it company?

I think the only company it will ever see is my 1960 6.5" M27.

The only thing wrong with it is that it's almost too pretty to shoot. Hope it's not a safe-queen!

Nope, not a safe queen. Its got some wear, I just don't highlight it.

A close friend loaded me a couple hundred "warm" .44 Mag rounds for it. I just haven't taken it to the range yet.

Very nice!!! Are you the original owner?

I'm at least the third owner. I really don't know how many hands it has passed through.



It was originally shipped Los Angeles, CA. The person I got it from lived here in Utah and never did live in CA.

So at minimum I'm the third owner.

Smooth target trigger?? Very nice.

Thank you for all your comments.

I've thinned the herd over the last year and this is one of my keepers, and shooters.

I no longer own any safe queens.

It may be your only one, but I think the one you have is as good as it gets.

Thank you. I think so too.

Certainly a beautiful piece. I can remember the days when the price of these fine guns was a bargain.

Inspector Harry Callahan called......

He said he wants his piece back.

What's the difference in the one that faces to the right in its case, with no cleaning accessories? Commemorative edition?

 

[Doc44]

The presentation case with the revolver pointing to the right with the accessories contained in a compartment below the barrel was introduced in 1979 and used until 1985.

That's one fine gun and accessories you got there!

I too only have one .44 magnum it's a bit newer then yours, I've never fired it and I'm not sure it ever has been.
Honestly I'm not a fan of big bore magnums I prefer something that is more comfortable to shoot like a .44 Spl, .45 ACP or .45 colt.
But I think every S&W collector should have at least one .44 Mag because they started the whole magnum thing.

You need some moly paste were the cam is on the pin lockup. It will ease the closing of the cylinder plus eliminate the wear.
