Wheel Gun Show-N-Tell

[actaeon277]

My abomination of a snubby. Taurus 85 that I bobbed the hammer and made these horribly ugly grips from epoxy putty a few years back. It's actually really comfortable in the hand. View attachment 298672

If they work, they work

Older Ruger Blackhawk....I'm excited to shoot 9mm out of it. Any good/bad feedback?

I was texting with some friends the other night and some pictures were posted of some of their S&W revolvers and I felt like I had to add to the conversation. So here are my N frame and K frame families.

The N frames are a 28-2, a Second Model Hand Ejector in 44 Special with elk grips, a 24-3 with a set of Ahrends rosewood grips and a M1917 Brazilian contract with some Sile grips I found on eBay.

The K frames are a pre Model 18 Combat Masterpiece, a Model 65 and a post war M&P 38 Special round butt.

I apologize for the messy work bench but I as in a hurry and didn’t take the time to clean the top.

Here's a couple of mine.

Top is a Pietta 1851 Navy with a Kirst cartridge conversion.

Bottom is an Colt 1877 "Lightning" .38.



This one is a Colt New Line .22.

How do you like the Kirst conversion? Think about getting one for my 1851.

How do you like the Kirst conversion? Think about getting one for my 1851.

I like it a lot but it's a little finicky. I like the way the 1851 looks and points but I wanted a cartridge gun and thought it would be a fun project. It's definitely more finicky on loading and ejecting cases than an SAA but I have read that was true with original conversions as well. It runs well with .38 special brass but I bought some starline .38 short colt brass and did some "authentic" loads and the rim on the starline brass was too thick for some reason and did not run very well.

My newest acquisition. I had my eye on a Model 28 but this was half the price so I couldn’t pass it up.

New to me 686-3. Couldn't pass up my first pre-lock Smith.

Where did you find it?

Where did you find it?

A LGS in South Florida. The guy that does my transfers primarily sells on consignment, and there are always older collectors looking to liquidate their collections. This is the Model 28-2 I mentioned (same seller) and I’ve had him pull it so I can start making payments.

My 442-1

Stumbled on this Model 66 today and brought it home. After a little TLC, it's in great shape for 50+ years old.
