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...

Next to the Python is the Colt Cobra in .32 New Colt Police which is a lowly .32 SW Long from the times before .38 Special and .357 Magnum. It was made in 1966 and it shoots without a problem at all with the lowly .32 SW Long or Colt New Police. Here is a 5 shot SW Chief's Special in the...

Caliber must be said as well as what the gun is!

Marmaduke above and below is Marmaduke with Daisy Blue: Danes with Guns(!) A dog isn't real unless it's a Great Dane! Okay I'm biased. Show pictures of your man's best friend with guns!

I am lounging around here in SW Lounge and show a disassembled handgun. It is my second favorite auto pistol aside from the Smith and Wesson Model 41 and add the Smith and Wesson 52 .38 Wadcutter. Anyhoo this handgun was in WWI for a hint and went through WWII with the Korean Conflict clear...

Whether new or used there is the sighting in requirement for your eyes and fingers and hands. Everyone is not all the same so we make these adjustments. I want to minimize anyone's time to sight in an old or brand new in the box gun to him or herself and keep it simple: 1. Realize the gun...

The very first firearm handgun I shot was a late 60's or 1970 SW Model 29 with full house loads. They were reloaded by the man who took me on my first deer hunt in Nevada. He lived in between Reno and Carson City and I lived in Franktown Ranch, where I spent 1969 to the time the ranch was...

(SW 686-6 Performance Center Competitor in .357 Magnum) A couple more pictures with one including my favorite .44 Magnum (29-10 Machine Engraved 4"): I had a 76 Python and knew I'd never shoot it again so I wanted an ultimate .357 to end to endless search for one. I like the cartridge...

686 .357 PC Competor. I looked over the old threads and found some interesting reading realizing this gun has been around after an earlier PC .357 686. I had the Python for years after thinking it was my last .357. However, I could not bond with it for some reason and I thought why hand on to...

Top is 4" machine engraved with pair of 80's Goncalo Alves; Middle is 6.5" 50th Anniversary 1956-2006 edition; Bottom is 8 3/8" stainless; Right is latest buy picked up today (!) 6.5" with pair of 80's Goncalo Alves. I try to get the original style and wood grips from the Dirty Harry period...

So there's a few pictures of my 1897 1894 Winchester in .38-55. Bore is perfect without pitting or rust. It actually looks brand new to see the bore. First time I shot the .38-55 was in a Marlin Cowboy Limited Edition at the turn of 2000. I liked it. I sold it. That goes a sad way but...

I think the 52 .38 wadcutter target can come back. The 29 certainly did.

I bought and sold 29s since 1978. I always dumped them in those days because they would fail to fire the 3rd round in a loaded cylinder and that problem I encountered so often to date I don't know what to do with a 1985 SW Stainless dash one that fails to fire the 3rd round because it loses its...

SW above, Python below: The L frame came after I found the N frame and so I still liked the N frame over the L frame .357. The Python has always been about since the 60's when I remembered hearing of it. The N frame 27 was always out and for a time the 28. The 19 was too light for me to...

because it is as nice as a 41!

I brought home to the ranch my first center fire auto and it was in 9mm double stack magazine. Unfortunately it jammed frequently and I passed it on to get an SW 19 with Goncalo Alves 6" barrel. I knew the SW39 was popular and to me that was fine I like the 39 whenever I can see one. The 59...

The first handgun in a powdered cartridge I shot was an SW 29 1960's 6 and 1/2" barrel white outline rear red ramp front in full house reloaded 240 grain lead semi wadcutters to Elmer Keith's satisfaction. I later bought my first pistol and used Elmer Keith 250 gr semi wadcutters lead and...
