The “WOW” gun of your collection?

[bigwheelzip]

I shoot revolvers at two ranges where revolvers are almost never seen, and I've introduced several novices to the hobby, and the public here is completely uninterested in wheel guns, at least until they shoot them.

On the other hand, I was at my range doing FFL paperwork to pick up a polished stainless CZ 75B I ordered. The place was busy, and the pistol case sat opened on the counter for maybe half an hour. Every single person who walked by seemed compelled to make a positive comment or stop and ask about it.
Seems bottom feeders are in fashion around here.

My boxed set ...... a 6 1/2inch 98% Registered Magnum (original grips were MIA) with it's understudy a anib 6inch pre model 17 (1957)...... both wearing Grashorn no bark stags.

Shown them off at the NE Ohio Bunching a couple of times.

Also my set of 3" 66-3s with checkered Spegel Boot grips.... one still unfired; the other < 100rds w/ boxes and docs,....... I've got a 3" 66-4 for carry.

I had to edit this because I sold off the 4" Model 10. This is the only one I've got now that I think fits the bill.

5" Model 10-5





Any imperfections you might notice are the result of my lousy photography, not in the guns.

My WOW piece is just a shabby little pristine 29-2 with Keith Brown grips. Sorry, that’s the best I can do.

Good thread, but guess I can say that I'm still 'in pursuit' of my 'wow gun'.
The hunt is more fun than having it laying in the back of the safe.

Nothing to be bashful about with a 13.....they comport themselves quite well on their own merits. 13-3 3 inch in blue and nickel.

Oh absolutely! My comment wasn't to deprecate the value of the 13 at all - they're an excellent fighting revolver.
It was just to say that mine isn't much to look at - unlike that beautiful salt-n-pepper set of yours!

My all numbers matching, 1941 Mauser P08. Picked up outside of Bastogne in January of 1945. Yes I have papers & pictures in my safe deposit box supporting that claim.

My wow weapon is a Barrett M-82A1.w/Bors. But don't take it to the range if low profile is how you roll, It becomes the center of attention quick!! I do let folks take a shot or two with it no charge. I figure the more folks who shoot a 50 BMG are more folks who will help me if my range ever decides to disallow the 50. or those D.C Clowns decide we can't have them anymore.

Two come to mind. First is a pre 36 Chief Speciall that my dad had when he was an agent. The second one is a special order pre 64 Winchester M70 in .375 H&H. Was sent in the white to Marker Machine Company in the late 50's to be "black chromed" on the barrel and trigger guard/mag box, and the bolt assembly a regular hard chrome plating. It went to Africa, not with me, but the original owner, and accounted for two Cape Buffalo and a few others. I am the third owner.

My wow caliber. Bright polished Delta that started out as that ugly brushed stainless wearing customized grips with Delta medallions with its ivory grips in the background.

This pair sometimes gets a "wow" or a "sweet!"

My Parker O frame DH 16 ga Damascus shotgun is the most attractive gun I own.

I can never see enough of this gun. I'd love to have one, I just have difficulty at their current values. I wish it had been a standard catalog length. I've made due with a 5" 25-7. Can't complain, but I'm still missing the 5", ejector shroud, Model 29.

Nice Luger - though not many would be willing to go to the lengths you probably had to to get it.
Thanks for being there in 1945 so we can all be here.

Not to pick nits, but I have never heard or seen that type of action referred to as a "lever" action.
I've seen them referred to as a "break" action or a "break open" action, but never a lever action...

Those are a couple of canons! Very nice!
