What's the most Beautiful Revolver?

[rockyrider]

What's your favorite? is it a Chiefs Special? maybe in Nickel, A Python in stainless, or maybe a Colt SAA .45 in case hardened, or even a Ruger Vaq in blue, A model 27? what's your favorite?

My most beautiful (matched set) revolvers are Colt Single Action Army's with Ivory grips.

I am also quite fond of a beautiful M27 with all the accouterments.

 

[Comrad]

Fixed sight revolvers.

 

[ordy]

Something in a K frame for me, thanks. Maybe a M19 w/ 6 inch barrel?

5' 6' or 7' shot, 1' 7/8 to 6' bbl, single or double action*

I guess you could argue for an M-27, with the checkering on top. I'd probably say my M-66 if it was fitted with smooth rosewood Roper style grips. Got Pachmayrs on it.

I like the Webley-Wilkinson 1905 and 1911 revolvers with fitted leather cases. Beautiful blue jobs and honed actions. Their WG models are also beautiful guns.

 

[moosedog]

A K or N frame target model in 5 inch, 4 inch as a second choice.

The most beautiful

The most beautiful gun is my my own.


Oh, BTW, it's a 686 with a 6" barrel

 

[O2Guy]

One with years of honest wear.

 

[OLDSTER]

1980s vintage royal blue Python, or it's hard to beat the 686

 

[Kelly Green]

My most beautiful revolver is the little S&W Model 34-1.

beautiful pieces . care to share any info?

Smith & Wesson New Model Number Three. They've all been downhill since then.

 

[Onomea]

Man, that's a tough question.... But this morning I will go with a blue 6 1/2" 38/44 Outdoorsman.

Got a pic somewheres....

 

[Evil Dog]

My vote would be for the Colt 1861 Navy.

 

[lawandorder]

That one right there should be near the top of anyone's list.

My vote for overall would be a 4 & 3/4 Colt SAA blue & color case with B or C engraving with a set of yellowed Ivory grips with deep dish medallions and Steer head on the right grip. In .44 S&W Special caliber of course.

The Smith would be a 1950 military in .44 Special blued 4 inch barrel also wearing steer head carved ivory grips with a bit of age to em.

 

[beemerphile]

I call this pair "like father, like son"...

Kind of like John Wayne used in "The Shootist"... looked very good but wasn't an actual Colt.

 

[samwood]

32 Hand Ejector (Postwar) with 3.25 inch barrel.

 

[DCWilson]

I have long thought that the proportions on prewar four-inch round butt I-frames were just about perfect. If the gun also has target sights, that completely closes the gap. (Of course that means we are talking only about the prewar .22/32 Kit Guns when it comes to standard production guns, and maybe a few special order .32 Long targets with short barrels from early in the century.)

A Kit Gun:

That may look like a nickel finish at first glance, but it's just that deep prewar blue catching the light in a special way.

 

[Malpasowildlifer]

3.5'' 27. Blued w/ Grasshorns (no bark)

 

[DWFAN]

I frames.

[dewey]

Jggy's are first in my book.
+++++++++++++++++
BUT

1950 5" .44SPL Target---- Hands Down. Big Bore with the sexy tapered barrel. OH MY

( I only post pixs if file is handy, I'm retired now ! )
This one will do.

 

[aphelion]

It's a toss-up between these two -

 

[JCS&W]

Guess I will go with the M27-2 nickel 4". Wearing some Kurac stocks.

 

[deadin]

As much as I like the lines of the Colt 1861 Navy, I think the fluted cylinder of the Colt 1862 Police is just sexier......

 

[vrichard]

The model 10-5.
