If an N frame was all you had ...

[Doug M.]

Pardon the poor quality photos. I used my cell phone under poor lighting conditions. The work was done by EGW. The rear sight trough was opened a bit, the front sight blade replaced with a red fiber optic rod (you can't see it worth a damn due to my poor pics) in a mount which has more than the usual number of cross pieces (4), so it is much less likely to break as they sometimes do. The finish is hard chrome.

I wouldn't mind carrying one of my N-frames (now I'm up to three!) all day. Granted, they wouldn't be concealed.

22-4, 624, 27-2

 

[29aholic]

I have carried this M29 on and off for 26 years, and have never felt undergunned.
Sorry its a camera pic.

 

[Wyatt Earp]

If all I could have is one N frame, I'd be just fine with this.

 

[Evil One]

The grips on that 22-4 are the S&W factory Thunder Ranch grips.

I just have one N-frame, but it would definately do the home defense or truck gun job. It is also very similar to GF's who originated this thread. Model 25-2 circa 1970, .45 acp. By the way nice revolvers everybody! Greg

 

[doublesharp]

This pre 27 5" is my favorite.

 

[Vanilla Gorilla]

Yeah, I could do alright with an N frame.

 

[deckert]

Well, no photos, but I own maybe 7 or 8 N frames in .45 Colt, .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum and .45 ACP. Funny, no .44 Special.

But if I had to go to just one, it's be my 4" 327PD. Eight rounds of .357 in a package light enough (OK, it's kinda bulky!) to carry all day is better firepower than a 1911... a better stopper and more reliable too boot.

Yeah, that'd be it.

 

[JoeS]

I could think of many worse things than just an N frame.
For me I would be thinking a 4" 629. If I was inclined to get fancy find a 6" 629 and have it cut to a 5" barrel.

 

[Poohgyrr]

Dave, that home made rig looks good. Congrats.


And I could be happy with any 3 1/2" to 4" N frame. Good, or tuned action.

 

[ldp4570]

Its something I could live with. 624's.

[tallpaul]

for defense and general woods work I think any of these to be just fine... 25-5,28,29

although a brace of 6 inch 28's and a 6"57 reside here somewhere too ...

 

[vytoland]

if we are talking "N" frame.......gimme a model 627-0

 

[LOBO]

If I could have only one this 3" m29 would be it.....

 

[Frank V]

I don't think you'd be disarmed with a N frame. It'd be hard to put in the front pocket of your jeans, but except from that with a little ingenuiety you could conceal it with just a size larger T shirt. Thanks Frank

 

[Iggy]

If I was forced to give up all but one gun, it would be this Model 58.

We've seen the elephant more than once and we're still here.

 

[flat_hd]

Hey boys, there is a new toy on the block... crimson trace.... Love 'em!

 

[sigp220.45]

I carried this one every day, before revolvers were relegated to antique status:

 

[GF]

Well! I didn't think my nightstand guns would get 2000 looks and 50 posts!

Thanks!!! And we love our N frames for sure.

By the way, those two aren't the only ones I own.

Mod 28-2

Mod 29-3

Mod 629-3

1917 , .45 ACP

Mod 625-3

Mod 29-2 & 629-4

Oh yeah, here's a coupla' Mod 28's too...

Sooo.... if an N frame is all you had... YOU NEED TO BUY MORE!!!

 

[Snapping Twig]

I'd make do with this.

Trijicons make it good for low light.

[chevypilot]

really Keith? What do you do for a living? Are you a professional BBQ'r?

 

[tom turner]

This is my favorite revolver anyway . . . a non-stock, chopped barrel 25-2 that is one sweet shooting .45ACP revolver . . . with the slickest custom double action pull I've ever encountered. The trigger is narrowed, rounded and smoothed for double action work. I've won a bunch of handgun matches with this wheelgun!

It is the last handgun I'd ever give up. I like it that much.

It makes a great self defense gun in the house . . . AND in the car (note the various .45ACP loads in my holder of car ammo, for various types of targets that might present themselves):

Hey Dave, just bypass the wife's next old man and put me in your will

Dave

Fortunately guns are not like pu**y, they can be rebuilt!! Will do so in your honor

 

[feralmerril]

If I HAD to get rid of all my N frames I would keep my 5" 29-2.

 

[YeshuaIsa53]

op "
I know these aren't as "tactical" as a Glock or Kimber but a Mod 25-2 in .45 ACP or a Mod 27-2 in .357 Mag wouldn't leave you "underguned' in case of emergency now would it? "

A man defending his castle with an N frame would most likely place his first round in a very bad place for someone to get over....second would most likely finish the job if the first one didn't. Guess all that "tactical" stuff goes out the window. I have a dead-on-accurate 29-2 that should do the trick if I had to choose one N frame. Nice pics, Sabre. Lots of nice pics and N frames here. The 686+ would be nice to have if six rounds had been fired, too. "Did I fire five rounds or six rounds(heh heh)?

 

[bmcgilvray]

I'd rather have an N-Frame than the Glocks discussed over in the lounge.

 

[Jetstream]

I like the looks of this one...



...and this one has an easy time of busting grapefruit at 25 yards...



...I'm also partial to this one...



...this one is similar to the one above, just a different color...



...might have to save this one till the very end though...
