Your 4" N frames

[rubiranch]

1957 4" pre-27.


1980 M-520


1967 M-58

I just have these three. The M-58 is the only one that I've shot. And I liked it.

I recently sold a really nice 4" 19-2 and a pristine 4" 686 no dash so these are my only 4" revolvers.

What do you have??

 

[rbrbrb6]

Just one, a model 28 in 41 Special.

My Model 58 grew into a 5" 45 Colt so it has to be outside looking in on this post.

 

[toad67]

I don't have but one, a 4" 24-3. I do have a few 5" N's though. I need to get up to speed....

 

[andy52]

3rd model Wolf and Klar and a 24-3.

As for strictly 4 inch N frames, I have the 3 below.

Pre-model 29:


And 2 629s:

 

[muddocktor]

I only have these 2 N frames in 4".

First, my 27-2, wearing a set of Culina Kingwood stocks.


And I have the 4" 28-2 I bought last December. It came with some Goodyears on it, which I replaced with some Ahrends retro targets.


The 27-2 doesn't get shot a lot, but I definitely shoot the 28-2 a lot and is a real fun gun to bring to the range.

My 4" 24-3 gets used. One of my favorite sixguns to carry along on deer hunts,, and they'd best not get too close.

 

[hkcavalier]

Just one, a bit newer than you probably want to see. 29-8 MG

My only 4” N-frame is my early M57 from 1964.

Model 29-3 on the right with Herrett's cocobolo stocks.
Model 27 on the left that I sold a while back.

To my eyes, the 4” is the best looking and most balanced ( to me ) and easiest to carry of the S&W revolvers.
OP, your #1 pre 27 makes my point as to looks.
Hell, they all look great!

 

[krsmith58]

The OP is a Renaissance wax specialist. That is why they all always look so good

 

[Jessie]

Well, I’m buying some Renaissance wax then.
Never mind, I already did

 

[WCCPHD]

I only have a few four inch guns, here are the four inch N frames I have photos of.

Nope. No age limit. Thanks for sharing.

 

[rubiranch]

Way cool. 15, that's not very many.

 

[rubiranch]

Me too.

Model 28-2 (1978-ish):

Nice. I have a 28-2 1978-ish but its a 6".

 

[rubiranch]

My M28-2's, 1961 to 1967. I also have a NIB 4" M57, but no picture

I have/had a 6" M-57. It sure is/was pretty.

LOL!! Thanks Pete.

Thank you. That pre-27 is my most recent purchase and I'm very happy with it.

 

[rubiranch]

Well, I’m buying some Renaissance wax then.
Never mind, I already did

I clean my blue guns with Flitz and just apply it with my finger and gently rub.
I buff them with a micro fiber cloth before it dries.

Then I apply a thing coat of Renaissance Wax again with my finger and again buff them with a clean micro fiber cloth again before the wax dries.

I take my pictures on the bed of my ATV trailer. I take them just after sunrise or just prior to sunset when my trailer is not in the direct sunlight.

These are things that I have learned here in this forum.

29-3

Any 4" N frame works in this thread.

Maybe one of these day's I'll get me a 4" M-28. I'm saving for a nice 5" M27 no dash. I had to pass on a really nice one a few days ago because I haven't recovered from the last two guns I picked up.

One of my close friends brings his 4" M-29-2 when we go to the range. I really enjoy shooting it. I think more than he does.

I hope you do.
