Those are Century revolvers, made right here in Indiana in the not so distant past.Super Six?
I love how they left that trigger guard square so it whacks your finger real good to remind you that you're a real man. Lol

I would think revolvers would be getting cheaper in today's climate but that is not the case. I've been keeping an eye out for a Colt Officers Model Match in 22LR (I have a 38) and the prices are far from cheap.
That's why trying to find a certain revolver is very hard to do.Interesting thread. I knew revolver production was down, but did not know it was down 35% (!) over the last 5 yrs (from 885,259 units in in 2015, to 580,601 units in 2019).
2020 sales figures aren't out yet. I wonder if there was any rebound last year. See article:
Declining Revolver Production Continues - American Handgunner
Each year, the ATF publishes the Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Export Report, providing detailed production and export numbers for a given year. Recently, the 2019 AFMER became available, and it doesn’t spell good news for revolver enthusiasts.americanhandgunner.com
Just an observation. Like revolver guys I keep my eye out. What it seems like to me is manufactures produce revolvers in spurts It seems about every 9 or so months (in a normal non pandimic year anyway) there are cases full of wheelguns. Then they get sold and another 9 to 12 months cases are full again.That's why trying to find a certain revolver is very hard to do.
It's okay, anybody that sold anything before the pandemic is kicking themselves.I sold 8 wheelguns in the course of a year just before the pandemic hit, including three .357's. Kicking myself now.
I’m always looking for S&W 610s and a 29 6”. Now they seem to have evaporated! Probably a good thing I guess since now I’d have to sell or trade something I like to get anything new.
Yes, they do. List $1799, but out of stock right now.Does Colt still make SAA 45colt revolvers?
That pretty much explains it. 580k units for an entire year? Rona wiped that out real quick.Interesting thread. I knew revolver production was down, but did not know it was down 35% (!) over the last 5 yrs (from 885,259 units in in 2015, to 580,601 units in 2019).

I have found pawn shops to be a great source for revolvers at pretty decent prices.My son and I were out looking for a 3-4" 357 magnum revolver. Ruger, Smith, Kimber etc. None to be found anywhere in 6 gun shops in four counties around us. Seen all kinds of plastic guns high capacity and single stack but revolvers are almost all gone some places had a few snub nose 38 specials and a few 22lr. That was it. Are revolvers put on the back burner by firearms companies or has the demand for revolvers gone up?
Smith and Wesson have dropped a number of revolvers from their lineup, seemingly to focus on semi-auto production.Interesting thread. I knew revolver production was down, but did not know it was down 35% (!) over the last 5 yrs (from 885,259 units in in 2015, to 580,601 units in 2019).

Agreed. I bought my first Smith, a M10 snubbie, at a pawn shop. The shop where I got it also had a surprising selection of ammo.I have found pawn shops to be a great source for revolvers at pretty decent prices.
Me? I bought the M10 7-8 years ago, and I actually sold it shortly after. Realized what a dumbass move that was and bought another one a couple years later. I think I probably paid somewhere in the low-mid $400's for both of them.Do you by chance know the price I’m a big fan of it
