Mine aren't the newest with all the cool safety features... but I kinda like them nonetheless...
Really like the fluted cylinder on that 627PC over the unfluted!

Great wheelguns
I only have one, a Horton M27-8, the blued 3 1/2"er. It's a favorite.

My eight shot is my R8. An excellent firearm in all regards.

Did you intend to post a picture of a pellet gun?

No, but then my eyes are not what they once were. I hope this covers my putative oversight.

Here is my beauty. I need to spend more time at the range with it and I plan to do so the rest of this year.
This 627 is my favorite 357 Magnum ever. It has a natural feel in my hand, enough weight to make 125gr JHP feel like hot 38+p in most guns and 8 shots. I guess that's why they call it the ultimate defensive revolver.
I cut the horn off a set of Hog Hunter Crimson Trace grips and love the feel and knowledge when I'm carrying this gun I'm very well prepared.

Now that is a great solution when you cannot decide between rubber grips and wood stocks!
