The Finest, Part 2

[GeorgeD]

What is the best revolver everyone has ever fired? For me, it is a Performance Center 627!

 

[bigfreakinrevolver]

My favorite is a model 28 chambered in 357/44 Bain and Davis. Smaller revolver big boom!

 

[BigBlueSix]

My M19-3 with target trigger and hammer. What a honey.

 

[TenTea]

M1955 Target with a *W* mainspring.

 

[Matt Hooper]

My 1961 Colt Python. S&W - M 15-9 McGivern Lew Horton

 

[kenjen]

my colt trooper, python and dic special. S&W 686,586,m19 m28 m15and m66. hard to choose just one....

 

[grant d]

I guess I would have to say my Colt Officers Model Match.

 

[Ceapea]

I've got a 6" S&W 14-1, that I have yet to find it's equal in smoothness of action and accuracy!

 

[Boogsawaste]

My lowly 10-5 with a small pit in the barrel, some slight rust spots here and there, but the best trigger I've ever tried and it's also the most accurate gun for me. Seriously, it feels just right in my hands. I've had/have other k frames, j frames, n frames, rugers, taurus, and shot L and x frames of different calibers/barrel lengths, but that old, beat up, nothing special, 10-5 will always be mine. Until I pass it down to my son. Thankfully he's only 2 years old so I get to hang on to it a little while longer.

Groo here
Stock or custom??

 

[Cpo1944]

Outdoors-man .22 Lr vintage, 1935 ,Just wonderful and points like its hooked to my brain.

 

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

Best for what?

For sheer excellence of execution, my 4" Model 29-2, proudly crowned with the best grips ever made for it, Pachmayr SN-S Presentations.

For best defensive weapon, probably my roundbutted 25-2 with 4.25" cutoff barrel with serrated red-insert sight and narrow rounded and polished trigger and chamfered chambers, and Pachmayr (sound familiar?) Compac grips.

For slightly more comfortable carry for defensive purposes, either of my Improved Model 56 revolvers, AKA 2" Model 15, with bobbed hammer and Rogers/Safariland grips.

That's revolvers. Best trigger and probably accuracy on any of my handguns probably comes from my H&R USRA Model 195 with adjustable sight radius and Roper grips. [The Roper grips are probably also a repeat, since it seems pretty obvious that the Pachmayr Presentations are a copy of the Roper design.]

Md 681

Nothing fancy here. Just performance. I own many revolvers, most of them S&W but this Model 681 gets the most range time due to fine factory tuning, ergonomics and accuracy.

 

[diggler1833]

Favorite S&W: 27-2.

I've also got other "favorites" though...like just about any of my pistols that I pick up and point .

M-17 K .22
A "stockless" .22 rifle-I was so impressed that I collected them.

The 442-1 was my first new Smith since selling my revolvers off years ago. It's a joy to shoot and an easy carry. It dispels the myth that snub nosed revolvers are tough to shoot and inaccurate.

The 22-4 is the workhorse. It looks as good as it shoots. I have fancier guns but this is the shooter.

'70 COLT PYTHON IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE--BUT IT IS LONG GONE.

CURRENTLY, MY 4" 625-3 MODEL OF 1989. IT HAS THE BEST TRIGGER OF ANY S&W REVOLVER THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED. IT PUNCHES BIG .45 ACP HOLES INTO CLOVERLEAF PATTERNS WITH REGULARITY, INDOORS @ 50'…..

 

[GeorgeD]

Hello everyone, and to further explain the question, I meant factory stock. As far as for what, for hitting what you aim at.

 

[JimZ1006]

I only have a few S&W revolvers, but my favorite by far is the 629-3 Classic Hunter that I picked up from a friend a few years ago. It's super accurate and has the best trigger out of any revolver I have ever fired. Only change I've made to it are the checkered target stocks I put on it a while back that I purchased from one of the members here, it not only looks better but they fit my hand much better than the rubbers that it came with. This one is definitely a keeper.

I have a S&W 640-3 for carry, and a S&W NM 66-8 that's getting there. However, the gun that gets shot the most, and always brings a smile to my face, is a GP100 Match Champion. If I do my job, I can't miss with it. It never fails to outshoot anything else I have in my stash. The 66-8 is slightly more crisp in SA, but in DA, the MC is like silk.
