And they shoot better than they look. Davis was a master with trigger jobs. Even on Rugers.

I have three Bill Davis hybrids built for my Dad. Two are Ruger frames with Colt barrels. The third is a S&W M13 K-Frame mated to a M581 barrel (why? who knows...I think they were out of his parts bin and he created it as a birthday present for Dad).

S&W 547. Hated the recoil impulse of the 9mm in a revolver.

Model 66 3"

I've always wished they produced a Model 24 with the 3-1/2" barrel so it offered the full-length ejector rod like you see on some of the early Registered Magnums.

Thank you. BTW, I like your user name. I inherited this from Dad when he passed:

Been longing for a .44 Special of my own. My LGS has had this 24-3 in their Used case for almost three years. They finally told me I could have it for what they paid the original owner. Need to source better stocks for it. Other than that, range time is on the menu.

I was wondering if the K-38 Masterpiece was produced with different barrel thicknesses. I thought I once read that there was a heavy barrel variant and a recent picture made me wonder about that again. Of the two pictures below, the second one looks like the barrel is much heavier than the...

There was a movie a few years back called Street Kings, with Keanu Reeves as the anti-hero. There's a good clip of him running a 4506 in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rFWEdF2qH8 Pretty good movie if you've never seen it.
