I really like a fluted cylinder on that pistol. Looks comforting.

When I do my job, a factory stock (except for Fitz Grips) 4" M19-3 puts rounds exactly on target as far as my eyes can see. :)

This M27-8: And these two, a M66-2 and a M642:

Yup. That's one reason I often load Federal's rather slow 200 gr LSWCHP 44 Special load for in town CCW, but my handloads for the hills. And like you posted, a lot of folks don't mind carrying a 45 Auto for defense. Heh, some folks are known to handload 250 gr SWCHP's in 45 Autorim for their...

Well, yes. Perhaps I'm not the only one, but my CCW rules say no Magnums bigger than the 357Magnum. (This is policy/ procedure, not any kind of codified law.) They won't discuss why, but I believe the lawsuits & way our general public misunderstands guns, and the way "Dirty Harry" has been...

If you mean Hogue's, I had standard Hogue Pau Ferro's, smooth - not checkered, on my 4" 686 and 4" Security Six, and they worked perfectly. Standard 357 Magnums, modern factory loads, all worked well with no problem. Those grips did it for those revolvers and my hands. On the other hand, the...

When it came down to it, I bought a 3 1/2"er.... And would have bought more if I could afford it.

Great pics and I agree the blued snub K frames are Very Special. Well, maybe the nickled wheelguns too. And even the newer, stainless versions. And the snub J's. And L's. And N's... Yup, that must be it. Snub S&W's. :)

I'd email Ray at Lobo, I have a few of his pancakes with thumb breaks; well made, work well for me, and good communications.

That looks good. Congrats.

Awesome. Thank you very much for sharing, and Big Congrats on this. A piece of history.

You can reload the 627Pro one round at time, with an eight round speed loader, with an eight round Quick Strip from Tuff Products, or with a moonclip. 357Magnums, 38S&W Specials, or 38S&W's; your choice. The 8X357's are sweet wheel guns.

Wow I must have been living under a rock, inside a cave. No other way to have missed this thread. Congrats! The 5" Wesman Special (great name) is a very, very sweet pistol. And you did the alloy frame; awesome. Great pics too. I've drooled over your 356TSW posts, and now this. Thumbs up...

Wow. That is nice. Congratulations and thank you for sharing. Excellent looking K frame there.

Actually, wood is comfortable, if they fit your hands properly. The fit is the hard part. And yup those Hogues look great.

You will need the money you saved - to spend on speedloaders and ammo... :)

Ya know, them old wheelguns are very outdated and obsolete. Being so old, they'll likely blow up and take your hand with them too. And the ammo is outdated and expensive and hard to find. Just box them up and bring them to me for proper handling. Don't worry, I'm here to help! ;)

I look at that model as a working carry gun, not a safe queen or collecting. And that gunsmithing as carry gun type work. Someone obviously bought that to be a working piece meant for self protection, and there is nothing at all wrong with that. I don't know that I could get a better price on...

I missed out on the 4" M27-7, but have a blued 3 1/2" M27-8 next to me. Great handling and accurate. A definite favorite 357Magnum. Looks great too. With its' sidekick:

Sounds like you found a really great deal, Congrats! Sweet!
