So I have quite a few revolvers and didn’t take a picture of all of them for various reasons.

However, here are the majority of my wheel guns.

My favorite of all of them is a tie between the Ruger GP 100 and the S&W 617.

Next up is probably my Colt officers Model Match.

Next is my S&W 648 (not pictured, getting customized).

The Rhino 50DS, S&W 686 Competitor, S&W 17, Colt King Cobra are meh. Lol

The rest of the new gen Colt pythons are ok. I was going to use the 4” for CCW then decided against it.

S&W M66 no dash.

I bought it used and it was pretty banged up with some Dremel’d plastic grips. I polished it for hours each night and changed out the trigger and grips.

Beautiful gun amigo. It’s best to show older guns love and restore without ruining it.

Congrats!

Amazing collection. I'm drooling over the 686 and the Chiappa.
 
I bought a pre-lock 686 2.5" .38/.357 years ago just to have a wheel gun.
Any idea as to what these are worth now?
 
My dads first gun purchased new in the 60's. Gifted to me, my favorite of course.

Well, the Mountain Gun is no longer my newest - here is a Model 29-4 that I just got out of jail yesterday.

I'm not much of a revolver guy, but here are the two that I have. A S&W 627 V-Comp and a Korth NXS. Both .357 8-shot revolvers.

I fianlly got to the range today, early as it was going to hit over 90 today. I shot the 2 "newto me" revolvers - a Model 29 and a 625 Mountain Gun in .45 Colt. I also shot my carry gun, a Hellcat, and a custom COmmander tht has been giving me some problems. Any good 1911 smiths around still?

The Model 29 shot great -the picture is all 6 shots at 15 yards standing two handed. The Mountain Gun kept them all in the black but I need to work up a load for it. The Commander still had issues. The Hellcat shot headshot size groups at 10 yards which is good...I need to shoot it more often.

Here are a couple of Colt DAs - a 1917 (commercial model made in 1919) and an old model Colt Trooper .357. The 1917 was restored by Fink's Custom Gunsmithing. He is now the smith at Gunsite. The Trooper was inherited from my Uncle Bill. It was stolen back in the late 1980s from my house in West Covinaand actually recovered by the San Bernardino County Sheriffs in the late 1990s and returned to me. It was in terrible shape when I got it back. The Python style target grips were gone with some homemade grips stuck on with electrical tape, the hammer spur crudely ground off and rust pits. My younger brother was going through Yavapai College's gunsmithing program and needed an old style Colt DA to work on as part of the curriculum. He beadblasted it as the pits were too deep to remove without eliminating the Colt markings and reblued it. Replaced parts as needed and gave it an action job. I put some custom Herrett grips on it and it is a great shooter. Neither of these are collector items, but I enjoy them a lot!

Haven’t used this one too much yet, but planning on using it to clean up a bunch of ground squirrels that get under the shed.EDFF8B5E-F693-47C5-B8FB-EA2A3ACF11DD.jpeg
 
A retirement gift to myself. The .45ACP cylinder is shown, as it is used the most. The .454 cylinder (non-fluted) is used for developing hunting loads. It is the most accurate revolver I have ever owned. For hunting, it serves as a back-up for my .375 H&H bolt rifle.D8501DFB-2675-43DC-9500-5D43ED26811D.jpeg
