"Fives" for fun

[CHARLIE699]

For whatever the reason, Five inch revolvers have their proponents. Some call it "balance". Is that the PHYSICAL balance or the VISUAL balance? For me, I guess it is BOTH. Five inch revolvers have been made across the frame sizes and the generations. Here are a few of the later ones. All stainless and pre-lock. Besides,,, it's too cold out today.
Starting at 12 o'clock. 627-0 (Okay, it's a 5.5"), @2, 610 no dash (10mm), @4 a 625-2 (.45 ACP), @8 a 629-3 Classic (.44mag, @10 a 625-5 (.45 Colt) and in the middle a 686-5 (Stocking Dealer Special) in .357.
I've had all these in various barrel lengths but it took awhile to get the five-inchers
Let's see what ya got!

I'm a fan of 5" revolvers too!

I don't own any yet, but 5" N frames just look 'right' to me.

 

[STCM(SW)]

You mean like this one?

 

[tlawler]

I’ve only got two five inchers at the moment, both Model 610 no dashes. I’ve had others like a M629-4 and at least one other that I can’t think of at the moment. I just sold the combat-stocked 6.5 incher on the right.

Dang, I was hoping for a J frame thread.

I used to think the 5 incher revolvers were the thing to have, but 25 years ago I changed my mind and now consider 3 inchers are the ones I like the most.
Unfortunately I have yet to find a decent buy on a 3” K frame.

My favorite barrel lengths for a revolver are 3" (short enough, but not too short) and 5" (long enough, but not too long).
