I'm still kinda fond of these two 44 Specials.

I have a few. These are some of my faves:
Two of these marked to "F" Company.
Comes in this box:
and with a large "I'm Your Huckleberry" sticker.
I have one of these with custom grips. It
s a Plinkerton 10/22 and has a longer barrel than the one shown. I threw away the plastic grips it originally came with.
Then I have another . SAA 1873 .45-but with only a 5 & 1/2 in barrel. All have blued or blacked finish and all have or will sooner or later have custom grips made of Maple.
I bought and gave one of the Custer .45s to my BiL for Christmas.

Another vote for the 1860 Colt 44.
Baby Chiefs snubby with a smooth ramp front sight.
This combination makes the aesthetic most agreeable in my eyes:
- full cylinder cavity
- stumpy grip handle
- tiny trigger guard
- original flat latch

I really can't make up my mind...

I must admit I am also partial the the Smith M-19 in 4 inch. The 66 I also do like but not a real fan of SS guns. I have an ealy 66 in the box with SS sights front and rear. Debating either selling it or the 686 I have. Another that I do really like is my not so pristine 1950 Target in 45 Colt. Not pretty but it do shoot ok.

Without a doubt, the
Combat Masterpiece/15 with 4-inch barrel
followed closely by the
Model 14 with 6-inch barrel.
Soon as the gun has a partial or full length
underlug, it starts looking clunky.
And without a doubt, the clunkiest of the breed
is (sorry fellas) the 3.5-inch Model 27.
Doesn't mean I don't or can't like the "clunkers"
but they are not as pleasing to the eye.
P.S.: I've not only stayed at a Holiday Inn but
I've also had a few art appreciation classes.

Only have 2 revolvers. One's a Monson built 6" 14-2, and the other is a 6 1/2" 357 Blackhawk. Hard to pick one over the other.
Heavy barrel .357 K frames with 4inch barrels.

Very nice!

I think this N-frame nickel-plated 27-2 is about perfect.
This 66-1 belonged to an OKC LEO and is also wonderfully proportioned.
And this 586 always gets a lot of praise.

One hundred per cent agreement on the standard tapered barrels.
I not only like the looks, I prefer the balance of a four-inch standard barrel. I'd love to have a 64 like yours, especially since I sold my four-inch10-5 to a friend who needed a house gun.
The best-looking revolver I've had (note past tense--gave it to my son) was a 1970 15-3, bought unfired from an estate. Handsomest automatic was (past tense again) a pristine pre-B CZ75. It was a time of financial anemia...
I wouldn't call any of my revolvers aesthetically pleasing
But my 27-2 is a killer
and my Triple lock could make a man stop dead in his tracks

For me, it would be a TL Target with old Ropers, or a pre-war 2" K, or maybe a Heavy Duty.

Aesthetically pleasing? This one:
That's the main reason I bought it, looks. It doesn't hurt that it has the second best trigger of any gun I own.

OK LET'S SEE, (currently)
10 Handguns: 4 S&W revo's, 1 Ruger revo, 5 semi's. Favorite looking to me, the 681 ND. Don't laugh but I kinda want to pimp my 2 3/4" speed six.

It has to be this 29-3. Most of my revolvers show lots of wear.

That one presents a compelling argument. Wow!
