Who likes the 8 3/8" Smiths. I sure do. Currently I have 10 of them. Two blue 17,s, one 48, one 53, one 14, one 27-2, one 57-1, two 29-2's Nickel and blue and one 25-5. I am not sure of all ot the dash numbers. I will try and post some photos later, I am waiting for my ride to the Duck Marsh to try out my new Browning Citori on some Sponies.
My oldest handgun out of many that I own is a model 27-0 with 8-3/8 inch barrel. I bought it about 40 years ago in 1967 for $150 used. The gun was manufactured about 1957. I have shot it several times a year and in single action it is probably my most accurate gun.
Got to love Long Barelled guns.I shoot long range Silhouette with them every time i get there a blast to shoot.Heres some pics the first on top is a 629 Classic 8 3/8" and a 29-2 on the bottom and a 57 no dash 8 3/8" and 10 5/8" with the 29-2 on the bottom pic enjoy the pics.[IMG:left]
I just have one, a 17-5 8 3/8". I don't know if it's my most accurate revolver at 25 yards but I do know that can I shoot it more accurately at that distance than I can shoot any of my other handguns. I take it to the range whenever I feel in need of an ego boost. And, since my ego needs a fair amount of boosting, I suppose I'll never give it up.
