Worlds most tactical 1896 Hand Ejector

[twaits]

Its amazing that these modern grips fit this gun like a glove. Looks ridiculous but feels great

Actually it doesnt look all that bad. When you said tactical i was expecting lasers and rails.

Personally i like rubber grips. The have a great hold when shooting and the gun doesn't move around. A lot more solid grip

That is kind of unexpected..!

Actually, once the initial shock wears off a little, it DOES look good!

And I bet is it comfortable too.

Now, to put those old Black Hard Rubber Stocks, on your brand new S&W Round-Butt j Frame! See how that rolls...

The barrel was cut down at some point, wasn't it?

Yeah. Someone cut it down. I bought it as a bag of parts and had Dave Chicoine put it all back together for me. I'm not leaving those grips on it. I just thought it was interesting that they fit perfectly.

 

[twaits]

The more I look at it the more I think that S&W should make a modern revolver that looks like the 1896. It's so much cooler looking than what they offer now.

 

[A10]

Is that your new EDC?

I have to agree with you about the look. I have never liked that type of grip on any gun. Give me wood or hard rubber anytime, but I am sure they fit the hand very well.

I like it. Maybe I ought to cut down my adjustable sighted 1899....VBG

Cool... make sure you take lott's of pictures while you do it

The hammer needs bobbed for pocket carry

 

[S&W ucla]

You should mount a period correct night site on it. A candle with reflector!

Before you follow through with the bobbed hammer idea, I just bought one that has a bobbed hammer and I'll trade. I imagine you will leave it as it is but I hate to see you cut one when I'm looking for an uncut one. Dave's shop is just down the highway and I'm going to ask if he has one. Cool gun though.

Shame on you! Have you no pride? Larry

Twaits,
Everytime I see that it's just the coolest little snubby!!

Ok you made your point now get those goodyears off and some S&W pearls back on! (smile).

Now that is a GOOD one!

 

[kwill1911]

How about a tactical Colt?

Yes, that's a flashlight under the barrel and the batteries (lead/acid dry cells) go in the grip.

 

[hotrod150]

I think it looks great with those bantam grips!
That rear sight location does wonders for the sight radius, doesn't it? What was the original barrel length? I guess this was meant to be a point-and-shoot model.
What caliber is this revolver chambered for?

 

[hsguy]

A glass of water for Mr. Priwer!

Well, that is certainly an interesting addition to the gun, looks kind of cute.

 

[mjr]

I really wonder when someone converted this to a belly gun? If only this gun could talk...well, of course, if it could talk, it'd probably just say, "Bang! Kapow!" or like that. Probably wouldn't be capable of intelligent discourse.

 

[Teddydog]

Needs Crimson Trace grips.

It's an 1896 .32 hand Ejector, the very 1st version of the 1st S&W Hand Ejector models. They were made with 3 1/4", 4 1/4" and 6" barrels. Probably started life as a 3 or 4 since those were most common.

No idea what the original barrel length was. I bought it already cut down. I cut a slot in the rib and put the old silver coin it. I filed it down a little too short though. It shoots a little high at 10 yards. It's fine for a belly gun though.

These parallel universe alternate reality guns should have there own forum subsection. Looks like it came from someplace where they ride hovercars and still smoke unfiltereds.

 

[wundudnee]

ARRGH! I think I just went blind.

 

[RGS]

Mmmm Hmmm!! I like the way you filled and pinned the IL hole. One of the nicest jobs I've seen.

 

[Wiretap23]

Kind of like the grips that came on my customized M1917!
They really change the feel of the gun, no doubt about it.

PS - Front blade and rear adjustable target sight are removed in that photo. Slooooooowwwwwwly working on fabricating new ones. I'll finish her up one of these days. Or maybe and put on red dot . . .
