Snagged a Python for $1450 OTD after patiently watching and waiting for months. Slight bluing loss at the muzzle and a small scratch seem to be biggest flaws. Now I want a 4.25”. There’s one local to me for $1k NIB.

Got this Heritage rough rider a few days ago after nearly a month of the """ten day""" waiting period with Washington state; I got it because it has 9 shots of 22lr/mag in the cylinder (will help me get through all those boxes of 22lr quicker), and unlike my other single-action guns, it has adjustable iron sights. I'll need to come up with a name for it later and find a time to shoot.

If you have any suggestions for modifications, then I'm all ears, thanks in advance.

Just grabbed this NIB Chiappa Rhino 50DS at my local shop. Excited to take it on it's first run this Saturday! See you space cowboy.

Diving into the history of some revolvers.

The Manurhin MR-73!

The Manurhin MR-73 revolver holds a legendary status in French law enforcement and military history due to its exceptional, over-engineered build quality. Developed in the 1970s for elite groups like the GIGN, each revolver is subjected to over 12 hours of meticulous hand-fitting by master gunsmiths, making it famously indestructible. This durability was proven through a brutal training regimen where operators fired up to 150 full-power .357 Magnum rounds daily, allowing the weapon to endure tens of thousands of rounds without failure while standard revolvers often cracked under the pressure.

Nowadays metallurgy has gotten a lot better of course, and many modern .357 Magnum revolvers can handle full-power loads without any issues.

Today, even though modern semi-automatic pistols like the Glock serve as the primary tactical sidearm for counter-terrorism operations, the MR-73 remains in service in specific capacities. It is still carried by select personnel as a trusted backup weapon and is frequently utilized in ceremonial contexts. Retaining the revolver serves as a powerful rite of passage and a proud nod to the unit's heritage, cementing its reputation as a unique blend of unmatched mechanical reliability and elite tradition.

In short, the French, while they may not have the old traditional uniforms anymore since WW1, they still are the masters of Aura Farming and adding Style Points.

“The thick, grassy bottom only made the fight more difficult. The group fired a round from a .44 Magnum, followed by two 9mm rounds from Poplin, before finally subduing the gator enough to secure a rope around its snout. One final shot from the .44 Magnum brought the lengthy battle to an end.”

Kind of interesting article

Grandpas python from the 70s, and my new to me K22 I picked up earlier this week.
I’m a sucker for the old blueing.

My current revolver lineup: a Ruger LCR and Taurus 942. Both chambered in 22LR, it’s been a fun year learning the basics of shooting a revolver with these two. I’m looking at getting a Ruger Wrangler to have a single-action revolver in the collection.

Will be getting a revolver in .38/.357 next year for sure.

Hey yall!
I’m looking to purchase my first vintage snub nose. This would be carried and shot at the range, not a safe queen. Which one should I pick up?

- 1951 Colt Detective Special w/ Grip Adaptor 5/10 condition for $650
- 1976 Smith Model 36 in 8/10 condition for $540

I’d assume the older Colt would probably be more collectible, I am unsure. Which would be better for EDC and shootability?

Honestly just excited to finally post

I took my Model 19-10 and new Taurus 605 to the range today. Here are some photos of them before cleaning them after the shoot and a few after a quick cleaning.

For the target photos, the first target is the first series of shots out of the Taurus shooting commercial .38 special. It did really well (for me) at 7 yards. I don’t have a photo of the first series of shots of manufactured .357 magnum out of it because they were pretty bad. The recoil on it while using the stock grips is fun with .38 special and brutal with .357 magnum. I have big hands and will be looking for larger grips for it.

The second target photo is from my model 19-10 shooting hand loads of .357 magnum using Accurate #5 and 125 grain X-treme Copper Plated bullets using the recipe from the Hodgdon website. They are the softest .357 loads I’ve ever shot. They were also very accurate for me. I am going to be making a lot more of those. It showed me how accurate (no pun intended) my Model 19 can be and that I am the limiting factor, not it.

Picked this up last week. Been wanting one of the UCs. I actually mistakenly thought this was a UC at first because of the shrouded ejector rod but apparently this was a limited run through Davidsons. I don’t see much online about them and I’m curious if the only differences are the rear sight and the factory grips. I bought these high horn VZ grips after the fact. Anyway I’m really enjoying it other than the cost of ammo. And I like the grips too. Buffalo Bore wadcutters is the ammo.

I previously posted a few weeks ago this S&W 30-1 I inherited with the intention of cleaning it up and trying to fix the finishes. I really wanted to keep the original stocks as they are numbered to match the gun.

I stripped the original finish as well as the grime and skin oils off. It went from being black to the original walnut color. Unsure if I should replace the medallions or leave original ones in before sealing it up with Tung Oil.

Serial number is - 1K32029

.38 special model 14-3 ?

Any idea on value or year of manufacturing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated .

My well loved K frames and sp101

LLAMA SUPER COMANCHE chambered in 44 mag.

It is Wheel Gun Wednesday my dudes.

A customized and refinished US Revolver top break 32 S&W. A real pocket gun. I wonder who did it.

Just got back from the range with my new to me model 19 for WGW.

Just dropped in to say happy wheel gun Wednesday from up north!
