Five Inch Picture Thread

[dr0]

Neither your's nor Janitor's pictures are visible on my system. Little boxes with X in them. The others on the threads are. This internet thing-a-ma-jingy still needs work to get the bugs out...

For whatever reason I see them both now (next day). Thanks for whatever you did, or if you did nothing then Praise the Internet DemiGods!

...and now for something completely different...

A Model 26-1 in .45 Colt, currently sporting a set of Keith's Ropers.

So far my favorite on the thread! (Although ... it's hard to choose .... and the stainless almost need to be judged in their own category)

Thanks for sharing!

Black angus Is that the model that was (georgia?) HP commemerative or isssue, that had the lanyard?

This is my all-time favorite S&W handgun.... The 5" Mod 27-2.

The five inch N frames in any caliber have to be the best all around compromise for carry, balance and accuracy IMHO. I'm still looking for a 5" Mod. 29-2 to add to my collection.

Only produced three years- Model 60-18 five inch with fully adjustable sights. This one had a test fire date of 2/2008.

Since this is my all-time favorite barrel length for the N-framed Smith & Wesson I'm compelled to show off my collection of shooters:

1st Model 44 HE from 1914

2nd Model 44 HE from 1921

38/44 HD from 1938

pre-27 from 1954

cut-down Model of 1955 from 1956

cut-down 24-3 from 1983

625-2 from 1988

I admit to having manufactured a couple of these but only because Smith didn't make enough in 5", the best of all barrel lengths.

Hey there,
I believe you have a twin of mine, a 15-3 ?
If so, could you give me an idea of value?
I have model 5K17064; also a 30121 with a 26 in a circle just outside the chamber when open.
Is that one picture showing chrome or stainless steel ? I of late am to understand the nickle is more matte in finish.
I have used this mainly for travel, as I do not need to cock it to fire. However, where I live now in GA I have been able to shoot, and find it much heavier than my .32/20.
The one store I went in to sell it, really low-balled me, and I was also offering a 1863 Zouave and the man showed me internet sites with low, low prices. THAT I had researched and realized he was touting reproductions, so I left the shop. Dunno if it was just him, or 'cause I am a woman, or day before Christmas Eve and I needed money???
At any rate, need a ballpark on my S&W, great condition -
very shiny!! (haha) grips great ,sorry, no camera.
Thanks,
gnat

Old Navy,

That is the 610 I want. What a nice one! The one time I saw a 5" listed for sale I didn't have any disposable income, i.e. gun money. If I ever get the chance again I aim to have one.

It's been fired, but very low round count. I just stumbled on the gun in a gun shop, they had got it from the original owners wife after he went to nursing home from results of stroke. It didn't have but a very light turn ring when I bought the gun, and I have only test fired the gun and it was a real pleasure.

The 610 and a like new Colt Trooper III made in '75 that I found last summer in nickel finish with gold plated hammer and trigger are a dream to shoot, but for some stupid reason I don't. Guess they be just too pretty.

My 5" Performance Center 686 Light Rail. I like the balance of the 5" barrel much better than the 6" version.

 

[Gunhacker]

Geez... it's no wonder I can't find any 5" N-frames for sale, they're all in this thread

My modest collection.

A brace of M544's, one with a M29 cylinder fitted to shoot .44 Specials:

Model 10-7:

Snow...

Drew, Merry Christmas back at ya. Any snow up there yet?
Chuck

Yup a little... 6" or so, with a bunch more on the way tomorrow night.... how about you?

 

[Stainz]

Birmingham got a dusting yesterday - a white Christmas in the south. I'm just NE of Birmingham - we still have snow on the ground & cars (30F now).

I had a 5" N-frame. The best trigger I ever tried in an S&W, but I sold it last autumn.

An '01-'02 JM PC627 V-Comp.
