The ones I shoot the most ...

[GF]

Had the usual suspects out of the box today for a little downrange fun.

From L to R & top to bottom.
Mod 27 from around '61, Mod 65-3, A mod 19-3 & a good ol' Mod 28-2.

Not the prettiest wheel guns but they never fail me and when I do my part the target looks like a group and not a pattern.

The pic makes 'em look in better condition than they are, lotsa' blue gone & finish missing from the stocks.
Quite a bit of wear, just like me.

It's character, on the guns and the owner.

And that's a really nice gaggle of Magnums.

Great looking group GF.
My 27 and 28 are the ones i take most times to the range.
Along with a couple of K-frame .22's

They look beautiful to me. I'm not a safe queen, museum piece kind of guy. Nothing wrong with honest wear.

I find myself shooting these guns more than any others.

S&W Combat Masterpiece (pre M15)

Colt Series 70 Gold Cup .45 acp

S&W M18

M60-7 (CCW gun) which I practice with often

The other guns in my collection still do get shot, but these are my staples.

Could you list the barrel lengths on those guns, please? The camera angle makes my gun brain just a little confused.

Top two look like 3" and the 19 is a 2.5 and a 4" 28? That is a a perfect collection if you ask me. The M65 is my personal favorite in all of Smith Wheeldom. A M27 and 28 in a less than 6" barrel are among my most wanted and a 2.5 inch M19 is magnum perfection. Splendid group sir!

Remember, GF, "Pretty is as pretty does." They look right pretty to me!

Nice selection of guns for the .357. You have good taste, Larry

Very nice group of "small-caliber" S&Ws! (as Bill C. might call them )

Seriously, I like your picture and the guns - something us Hoosier S&W boys who don't need the really big blasters should all be able to identify with. I'd would want to throw a 6-inch 19 in there too - just for good measure.

Never, never, never trust your life on a "pretty" gun.

Not talking engraved you understand (although they're close).

I would trust my life with those guns for sure.

Thanks fellas', I appreciate the posts & likes.
With my guns it's kind of like the saying "more fish come in size small than large" I think more guns come in "worn" than "minty".

On the bbl lenghts ol' Armybass hit it on the head but the Mod 27 is a 3 & 1/2 tube.

I like to carry it to the range when the city police are there. I get asked "whatisthat!?!" as often as "CanIshootit!?!
