L frame photos

[BCDWYO]

Here is (most of) my current collection of Ls...top to bottom:
686-5 (+) 3" bobbed hammer DAO, night sights
686-5 (+) 4" Mountain Gun
586-1 4" wearing Hogues
581 4" wearing Ahrends
581 with aftermarket 2 1/2" barrel, Round butt conversion and DAO bobbed hammer.

My no-dash 6" 686 didn't make the photo shoot since my Dad has been "borrowing" it for the past few years!

Anyone else care to share?

I would love to have that exact same collection. Sadly, I still do not own a single L frame.

I'm not sure if I love the Mountain Gun or the 4" 581 better. Those are two I want to find for sure.

I only have one L frame, this 686 that I bought new in 1982. IMO one of the most versatile revolvers ever built...

I just got my third "L" frame, a 681.
I'll have to do a photo shoot soon. The other "Ls" are a 686+, and 696.

My 686 2.5" Truck gun. Carried in a Galco Speedmaster rig and HKS speedloaders.

whats the M296ti? I've never heard of that model before

 

[JCS&W]

Kavinsky,

It is a .44 special, round butt alloy frame, Titanium cylinder, 5 shot. Only made from 1999 through 2001. Not a handsome piece of S&W craftsmanship, but it is so ugly it is cute. I have never had a problem with it. Very light, great carry piece. I like it.

Attached is a picture of a Gemini Custom S&W 296 which is an L frame .44 special centennial model. This is an awesome customized 296!

hmm sounds like it makes quite a powerhouse, probably hurts to shoot it though huh?

I had quite a few until last year, that's when I thinned the herd down to my favorites.

Shown below.

Kavinsky,

Well, it is not a pussycat, but with a max grain of 200, it is manageable. I do not find it as bad as a Night Guard .357 model. But, that is just me.
