Sometimes It's Just Got To Be Shiny

[nevada duke]

Dave, I like it. The visibility factor alone is worth lots of points when it is dark and lonely and the dogs are barking. And I want one

Best regards, nevada duke

The bad part is, he's gonna be wavin' that thing under the noses of the Carlin Ranch Pasture Poodle Shootin' Assoc. tomorrow and the next day.

Ever time he does that, somebody out here gits poorer...

Way too cool.

I would have gone with a ramp...but that's me...

Not me.
Patridge sights look fantastic.

Too bad it's hard to find "shiny" guns anymore. Matte has taken over to cut production costs, I guess. Darn ugly IMHO.

Beautiful gun, if Smith would make one I would be the first in line. Unfortunately they won't because they are too busy turning out plastic guns and revolvers with locks ...

I believe 5 inches is the perfect barrel length for any gun.

Took a while to warm up to nickel

I've always been partial to deep blued revolvers, so it took me a while to warm up to nickel guns. I always felt that they were a little "showy" for shootin' irons- like those in the old westerns. But as they say- times and feelings change. It started with my BBQ gun- a 1926 factory nickel 3rd Model HE Wolf & Klar with a 4" bbl (lettered to 1927). Then I found an early 50's nickel pre-Model 10 with a 6-1/2" bbl that was needing a good cleaning and looking for a good home. Recently it was a beautiful 2-1/2" Model 19-4. What can I say? I've still got my "Top 10 List" of revolvers that I'm searching for, and most of them will be blued. But a really nice nickel 6" Model 27 caught my eye the other day...maybe now I need a "Top 20 List"?!

Well that shiny gun from Kentucky stayed in Wyoming.
Don't ask me how I know...

Absolutely beautiful !!

You will have a long ride before that one is bested !!

 

[davefromhere]

Dave,
Well, since you asked so nicely..
I'm testin' out a different pair of britches.. We'll have to see what feels better. I like the magnas, but these are kinda spiffy.

That's one beautiful piece! Nothing like a nickel 5 screw N-frame. Thanks for sharing the pic!

My eyes are spinning and I think I stopped breathing for a few minutes, Superb !

How did I miss this? More fine work from our resident renaissance man.

Glad to see it stayed within the dysfunctional family out there in Wyoming.

 

[eddiewhiteshoes]

Ok, that's pretty much nothing short of insane.

 

[Daisyman]

Beautiful gun and those grips are outstanding.

Those grips were made by the Schofieldkid81 here on this forum.

Nickel finish

I am having a custom 25-2 made. Short barrel and a round butt with the cylinder honed to handle .45 LC. Want a good quality nickel finish.
