I picked this up after owning a Python already: I have all the weights in the gun to the brim to make it the heaviest .357 Magnum I've ever shot. It's an L Frame and that is closest to the Colt Python frame. I have found Colt Pythons to be violent in the hand or hands when firing. It...

I had four and sold the 50th Anniversary model with 6 1/2 inch barrel. It was a 29-10. It went into the local Cabela Gun Library. I have two other 29-10s one 6.5 " barrel and the other 4" machine engraved with Goncalo Alves Grips instead of the original engraved SW grips which are in the box...

I've had a lot of favorites. From .22 LR through .454 Casull and the X Frame .460. The SW revolvers are favorites of mine. Ruger and Colt are the other favorites but today and ever since I bought this particular gun, it remains my favorite. It is my first 4" 29 N Frame and I love it more than...

PS. Here's a dreaded lock SW in 29-10 that shoots best in my ENTIRE handgun collection for handgun accuracy: Before shooting it I replaced the GRIPS with Goncalo Alves: The first five shots after grip replacement went high into the cluster. I dialed the sights to make the 6th shot. To...

The lock works if you want it. Why bother over original designs pre-lock or post lock for the lock or not the lock. I have locks on three N Frame 29-10s and no lock on the 629-1 from 1985. I have found the recent production SWs to be superior in timing and metallurgy to the "no lock" SWs...

Top is 629-1 with original Goncalo Alves.

if it's N Frame there is the original Goncalo Alves N Frame for 27 or 29. SW 57 in .41 Magnum is also N but most try a .357 or .44 before shooting a .41 N Frame. In Rubber the sky is the limit and in other wood the sky is the limit. The original is Goncalo Alves attached to N frame. Rubber...

Both of my hips were replaced by the US Army. You need to allow 6 weeks for each hip alone and if you need two then the surgeon will talk you into one at a time. John H. Carr II United States Army (MAJ) RET.

The Actor in "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" that came out in the 80's. He is a prisoner of war and his actor performance was not mentioned in the news. I was disappointed...

I Truly Want a 29-2 unfired in a mahogany box with original paperwork and cleaning tools still in the plastic bag unbroken. The gun and the box would look like this: My 27-2. I'd want the barrel original in 8 & 3/8" for the 29-2. btw if anyone has or knows of this I'd be willing to...

The 27-2 I like .357 in classical N frame. I had a 8 & 3/8" before this one. It was iron sight accurate to 75 yards within 4" per group of 5-6 shots. This one has a too high front patridge blade sight that needs to be filed lower and I haven't gotten around to doing that. I hate...

Another Colt Single Action It shoots .44-40 WCF and is obviously on target at 50 feet. They call it the Colt Frontier Six Shooter. It's only in .44-40 and nuttin else. It is a Black Powder Frame and Bull's Eye ejector rod. A screw is the cylinder rod's stabilization from the front of the...

Colt Single Action Army .32-20 With 1873 Winchester in .32-20: This Colt SAA is accurate and on target with the fixed sight arrangement. Wish handguns today were already sighted in at the factory with permanent sights without adjustable sights. Those days are long gone...

Circle of WWII Handguns Walther PP series with P-08 and P-38.

Another Rat Patrol Weapon I don't have a Garand to include here but I appreciate the Garand for the M-14: The .45 Auto 1911 is to be included with the famous Luger P-08: And of course the P-38: My P-38 is not a Walther but another. It was manufactured in 1944. The Browning Hi...
