5 inch Triple Locks
Admin Edit-
I moved all the posts below from this thread-
http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-han...#post139663866
That thread is about Five Inch .455 Triple Locks, which is a very rare bird, so I thought I would remove the clutter.
I clarified Jim's statement about 5" TLs being very scarce. YES, he was referring to 5" TLs in .455 caliber.

Jim, are you speaking of the .455 TLs or all Triple Locks?

Your gun sure looks a lot better than mine. The funny thing is that here in Georgia I have only seen 3 Triple Locks out for sale in my life, and all of them had 5 inch barrels. Must be a Georgia thing. I only bought one of them because, at that point, I already had one. I'm not really very smart a lot of the time. Plus, I was kind of poor back when I saw them. Here's a picture of my only one which I've already posted too many times before.

George,
That's a real sweetheart!
Is it 44 Spl or 455 Mk II?
