What's the most Beautiful Revolver?

[Hillbilly77]

That would be a 586 with a 4" barrel.

Mods, I answered the OP's question.

I posted the only S&W revolver I have.

And here all these years I THOUGHT YOU WERE an N Frame ?
( a closet I FRAME luster...)

I hate to say it on the S&W forum, but, to me, the Python is the most beautiful revolver. Especially the 2 1/2" AND 4" Pythons.

Not far behind, you've gotta love the M19 and a 4" M29 Smith. The Colt SAA is no slouch either...

So many great looking revolvers, and hey, aren't they suppose to be like kids; you don't pick favorites...?

 

[dewey]

Let's don't get too caliber sensitive...And my youngest IS my favorite.

Fine .... Just Fine.. here's JUST ONE!! forget you even saw the others

Here's my very favorite in caliber(.45 Colt), looks, and grips(thanks DWFAN).
Next would be one of the Dukes SAA's in the shootist. A big thanks to Nedroe also.

Oh, man. If I was you I'd be mad as hell! That gun is all scratched up. Some people are just careless.

And a 4" 586 is still the prettiest.

Talk about rubbin' salt in the wound!!!

Darn... just lost another keyboard from drooling on it.

There sure are some beautiful revolvers posted. To me the M 19 with a 6in barrel and target grips is as close to perfect as can be. Great balance visually combined with exquisite old S&W blueing.

 

[bushmaster1313]

Any S&W owned by me.
But especially this one:

 

[Vulcan Bob]

Ok, I just gots to say it, Colt 1860 Army.

 

[forindooruseonly]

Is there no love for top-breaks here? They're not my favorite all around revolvers, but aesthetically they are certainly beautiful....

 

[Model 19 6"]

As my sign on says the Model 19 6" is my favorite. When I find a 19 in 2 1/2" I will have 3 favorites. Jerry

I think the best looking revolver is a 4 3/4 inch Nickel Colt SAA. They always looked sort of art-deco like to me and reminded me of the streamliner locomotives. Next would be a 6" Python and then a 4" N-Frame.

[A10]

My favorite would be a nickel 3 1/2" pre 27 with a nice set of dark wood Magnas on it....

 

[steamloco76]

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

Submitted for your approval; Model 586-4 wearing the combat stocks from my 617 no dash.

Anything with nice case colors, like this USFA SAA in 44 spl.

[papajohn428]

This one. 24-3.

 

[george minze]

Being a S&W fan my entire life I still say the Colt Python was and is the best looking and smoothist (out of the box) revolver I ever had or wished I had.....It is criminal that Colt had made them obsolete..That out of the box Colt Blue was something else......Pretty as a spotted pup under a porch in a rain storm!!!!

 

[cmort666]

Without a doubt, it's the Triple-Lock Smith.

 

[frbeall]

My blue 4" 581

 

[mkk41]

Glad I'm not alone in my opinion.

 

[Faulkner]

It's hard to beat the classic lines of a SAA.

 

[tacreload]

I really can't make up my mind.I have these but as of late Model 27 and Model 24 lust is boiling inside me.I really gotta stay off those gun auction sites.

Most beautiful I ever owned--my son has it now--was a pristine, unfired 1970 Model 15-8 bought from an estate about ten years ago. Wonderful bluing by postwar standards, and not a spot on it. Had a master gunsmith give it the most amazing trigger I've ever experienced on a handgun (including the few Pythons I've handled), so it was functionally as well as visually gorgeous.
