The 5" barrel picture thread

[BoulderTroll]

OK, so let's see all your 5" barrel revolvers. 686Plusses, TRR8's, you name it. Any caliber, as long as it's a Smith and Wesson revolver with a 5" barrel.

I've come to realize that the barrels with an inch length in odd numbers are much more visually appealing to me for some reason (maybe I'm odd). For instance a 3" looks much more balanced and proportionate than a 2", and a 5" looks better than a 4 or 6" (highly subjective and my own opinion of course).

Hopefully soon I'll be able to add one of my own to this collection, but in the meantime, I'd love to see what you guys have got.

686 National Match, circa 1989, 1 of 500, supposedly the result of a collaboration with Bill Davis, product code 104254.

I would LOVE to find one of those!

But for now, I have to settle for my 5" 629-3 Classic DX, shown here with its 629 kinfolk.

I know the gun is supposed to be from after 1980, but I can't resist the urge to share.

My Model 27-2. Shipped from the factory January 16, 1964

I do have the factory grips. These are my "shootin' grips".

It's not a big bore but is a S&W 63-4 5" 22lr. It's very accurate and cheap to shoot.

A 27-2 5" I bought new in about 1970, sent it back and had all the options put on, even my name in a gold oval on the sideplate, and a 29-2 5", also a texas wagon trail 544 commerative 44-40 5". And then a HD that I found a 5" model 21 barrel for. Just had the clyinder reamed to .44 special.

My only two 5" Smiths are both pre war M&P's,
The shiney one is from around 1935 and the other shipped a few months before Pearl Harbor in 1940.

I have posted this picture before, but it's been a while---

My Model 26-1 in .45 Colt, one of 39 plain overrun guns from the GHP Commemorative.

It's currently sporting a set of Keith Brown's fabulous Ropers.

Enjoy!

My only 5" S&W is this Model 10-5, which I just bought from another Forum member. Thanks Terry.

I haven't taken any pics yet so I hope it's OK if I use one of the sellers.

Boulder Troll , I think you should buy a 5 inch model 25 in 45 Colt, since its on my short list. I know in six months Ill get it cheap as you move on the your next project

Haha, you're evil (but you knew that). As a side note, I just bought a beautiful new Springfield M1A Scout with walnut...when are you going to be ready to buy it?
(it's a keeper)


To everyone else, awesome pictures, let's see more. And I'm still hoping to see some of the newer 5" models like the 686 Plus and the TRR8.
