Most recently, I've posted that I managed to acquire one of my "grail" guns and we see these posts on occasion from others. Got me to thinking about this thread. So, what is that you have your eye's pealed for and, when you do find it, what's next?

I'll start things off.....
A short tubed (2.5-3") .41!
 
Great question, mod34. Can I have more that one? I hope so! It's kind of a tie. M686, 3" no lock; M13, 3"; M12, 2"RB, M27, 3-1/2" or 5". I'm partial to short/rare barrels!

Engine18, are those in order;)

Model 15, 2" square butt in nickle. With a .400 smooth trigger and a .500 target hammer.

Model 16, 4" blue. With the same hammer and trigger as above.

Any pre-MIM S&W I can get my hands on.
 
RM, 5scr 44mag, prewar 44spl...oh, & if I can find a nice inexpensive 22 Outdoorsman that would be nice
 
Are these guns that we may potentially be able to get, or are these guns that were produced that we lust for and know that we will never be able to have? The search for the Holy Grail has went on for centuries with out having been fulfilled after all. ;)

A quick swinging 12ga SxS choked modified and full. Them grails can't fly away fast enough.
 
Got them about three years ago, a S&W 696 and a three inch, Round Butt 66......

Cajunlawyer,

I agree. I had no idea I wanted one of those until I saw that post. It's gotta kick like a bitch tho'. I once tried patterning a 3" A-5 from a bench and it liked to kicked my teeth out. That recoil operating system lets you know when you pull the trigger!
 
I want a 4" pre-model 25 .45acp. (dream on, Charlie)

Maybe its the romantic :rolleyes:...well whatever it is, in me, but I look upon grail guns as a constantly evolving ever moving target ;)...

As soon as I finally possess my grail gun, I covet another and the process begins anew :D...

Lately it has been a Sig P210 :eek:
 
Acquired one 686 w/ combat grips and now have my eye on another. By the way, mine is the one in my avatar.
 
I just got it a week and a half ago. Better yet, I got it from one of our good forum members here in Georgia!

My favorite revolver has always been my chopped, 3 1/4" barreled, M25-2 .45ACP revolver. I've always wanted a nice Model 27 with the 3 1/2" barrel to complement it.

Well, here it is, IMHO the most beautiful model and barrel length S&W revolver ever made . . . and it is everything and more that I was dreaming of . . . a pristine Model 27-2 from the very early '70s.

I'm a blessed man indeed!!!

Here's some eye candy, using my just made light box to help with taking the photos . . .

Tom ,I like the way you think. I traded a n.i.b. 6" model 16-4 for this one.

But ,,the grail gun is a 44 triplelock in good ,clean shootable condition.

This model 625-7 P.C. in 45 Colt was a grail gun for a loooong time, but I found one on G.b. last year.

How about a Ladysmith target with 6" barrel. A friend owns this one ,but will not let it go.

Just saw a 2" nickel model 12-3 round butt in a local shop yesterday ,,I'm going to have to go back today and get it.

I have a couple and will buy them as the times I find a decent deal on one and have the money converge:

K-32/Model 16 in .32 Long. Model 56. 1950 Military .44/Model 21. Model 46. Model 76.
 
A pre 26, 1905 4th change target 38 and a 1917 to replace the ones I had to let go to keep up with the ex's spending.
A 24 or pre 24 would be nice.
I did find a NIB 624 about 2 years ago.
