Lets See Your Favorite Non Smith&Wesson Revolvers

Model39 · Oct 13, 2018

Smith&Wesson handguns have always been, and always will be my favorite guns to collect. As I've been downsizing my collection, I've decided to keep just these three non Smith&Wesson revolvers till the end. Downsizing has been hard, but these three revolvers are my favorite. Top to bottom, A 1960 2nd Gen Colt SAA 7 1/2" 45 Colt, A 1957 Ruger 44 Magnum 6 1/2" Flattop (with Ruger Factory Stag Grips), and finally a 1993 Colt 357 Stainless Steel 6" Python. All 3 of these guns are in excellent condition and have their original boxes and paperwork (not shown). Since these are my favorite, lets see your favorite non Smith&Wesson Revolvers.

'67 Dick Special

Although I'm a Smith & Wesson guy through and through, I do cherish my birth year Colt Detective Special...

Gotta love vintage Korths...

(excuse the two Autopistols in the pic)

Most of my collection are Rugers. But my Interarms era Rossi M720 44 SPL is one of my favorite guns. 3" bbl that is a nice balance between 20 oz lightweight Charter Bulldogs, 36 oz Ruger GP100 44 SPL and too expensive for my current budget S&W 44 Specials.

My favorite non S&W revolver is My Linebaugh Custom Sixguns .475 Linebaugh. I shoot it often with 385gr cast LBT traveling about 900FPS out of the 5.5 inch barrel. It is responsible for two elk and several hogs.

My only non S&W revolvers are these two Chapuis made 6" Manurhins, a .357 MR 73 Sport and a MR 32 Match.

The .32 is an awesome target revolver.

I think my fav non S&W revolver right now is this recently pawn shop acquired 6" Dan Wesson 15-2 VH6 in .357.

There are many fine revolvers in my safe, it is difficult to pick a single favorite

Obviously many Colt Pythons are going to be mentioned. My 2 1/2" Ultimate stainless Python had the Walt Sherman roller bearing action and it amazing to shoot double action

The Dan Wessons are fantastically acurate revovlers. I like them in both 357 SuperMag and 41 Magnum.

Then there is the one that Maxwell Smart inspired

I do have this amazing Colt that Bob Munden built for me many years ago

It is hard for me to believe, but Colt, Dan Wesson and Smith & Wesson make up 90%+ of the revolvers that I own

There are several Taurus snubbies and one of the USFA 12-22s, a Fredom Arms 454, but not much else comes to mind.

My Ruger SS, I've had since the mid 80's. Always been my goto gun.

For a long time, these were my only revolvers.

I like the Colt D-frames almost as much as the S&W J-frames.

Same with the Colt E-frames and the S&W K-frames.

Oh, and I like British .38 topbreaks. Not necessarily for their beauty, though

Actually, I have a brace of revolvers. Used these shooters at Cowboy Action Shooting matches.

Uberti Open Tops (Navy) in 45 Colt

Thanks for looking at my brace of main match cowboy revolvers.

God bless,
Birdgun

I like my 4" Ruger SP101 357 Magnum. The grips are JaruwanP's and a Sourdough pancake holster.
It came new with the rubber/wood insert grips but these fill my large hand much more to my liking.

Colt MKIII Border Patrol

This is the only non S&W revolver I own. It was purchased new in 1972 by my Father. This and a Colt Woodsman Match Target are what got me interested in the shooting sports. Still have and shoot both.

Colt NF 5-1/2” in .44 Special:

CajunBass · Oct 13, 2018

I've owned a bunch of them over the years, but the only non Smith & Wesson I have now is a Charter Arms 44 Bulldog.

There is a Ruger 50 anniversary Single-Six here, but it's my wife's.

Jaymo · Oct 13, 2018

I'm FAR too busy sniffing corks, to admit to owning any of these mutt-guns. (J/K)

I can't really pick a single favorite Smith revolver, much less a favorite non-Smith revolver.

You'd have better luck asking me to pick a favorite motorcycle (yeah, right) or my favorite child (nope).

bdGreen · Oct 13, 2018

Favorite? Close.

Top five non smith anyway.

enjoy,
bdGreen

Steve357 · Oct 13, 2018

My custom old model Super Blackhawk 44 magnum

Bayou52 · Oct 13, 2018

Those would be the 1979 Ruger Security Six and the 1984 vintage Ruger RH both in 357. Pics:
