They are around.
I saw a picture of another one, but I can't seem to find it right now.
That one is, by a large margin, my favorite N frame that I have seen on this site. Down and dirty at close range.
This 1926 .44 looks a lot better in this picture than in person with it's heavy renickel. Perfect balancing gun, though.
Hi Wyatt,
Uhhhh...what Model S&W is this, exactly?
( Lol...)

But - but - but - I thought ALL single actions were Colts, ALL lever actions were Winchesters, and ALL double actions were Smith and Wessons?
Ain't they?
Ain't they?

There are no ugly N-Frames.
And they all said.... AMEN!!!
Her's one o' mine -
Our official "House Gun" as a matter of fact.
Mid-latter production m1917, which had probably a very decent amount of intact original Blue, till somneone went over it with some fine Tri-m-Ite paper or Scotch-Brite or whatever, trying to get 'scuzz' off. With someone long prior having lopped the Barrel off with a Hacksaw, leaving the Saw Teeth marks on the Muzzle.

cool
I would love to start my project with just such a gun... I would have a gunsmith true and crown the muzzle, action/trigger job, color case harden the ejector rod, hammer, trigger and cylinder latch, mount Big Dot Night sight and Robar refinish in mat black...the perfect 45 acp carry N frame

Geez guys, it is said that we live in a superficial society today and I think some of you are proof of that! If all of these guns were at a gunshow I would be tempted to buy several. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I still think some of you need to go to see your local ophthalmologist or perhaps get yourself a new one!
Here is my submission. I bought this gun online because it had unrelieved smooth presentation stocks. Yes, I bought it for the grips!
Ironically, I put the grips pictured below on it, and sold it. Its ironic because even though I stripped off a great pair of grips that were way wrong for the revolver, I was told that the grips I put on it to sell it were actually Sanderson's although I am not sold that this is true. They looked too crude to be from a quality grip maker to my eye but who am I compared to "Mr. Sanderson" himself aka 410bore from Ohio.
I believe my submission to be truly ugly because even though it is a 44 3rd model, it was poorly refinished at least once AND it has the discolored cylinder. The sideplate looks awful and the MADE IN USA was nearly polished off. I suppose its not the ugliest gun, but IMO its pretty bad.

Chopped and modified .455 HE MK II. It may not be purty, but it's
the one that gets to ride along every day.
Iggy; that doesn't qualify as ugly.
