Out of all of your revolvers - Page 2

skidder · June 6, 2012, 12:52 AM

I have a few others, but my Rugers are my favorites.
Each one has a purpose and a different role.
If I had to choose a favorite it would probably be the Redhawk.

Security Six 6" = hunting and target
Redhawk 44 = hunting and blowing stuff up
Service Six = General HD and camping
Security Six 4" = Trail gun
SP101 = SD and CC

slow944 · June 6, 2012, 09:51 AM

I'm really glad I stopped in the pawn shop in Bowie, TX a couple of months ago, as I found this beauty to bring home. 1975 Colt Trooper MKIII.

bossman · June 6, 2012, 11:23 AM

I really like the 3 inch S&W J-frames. I try to fondle everyone I see.

mike7.62 · June 6, 2012, 03:54 PM

I have a very nice 1911 and three S&W revolvers. This S&W model 10-7 is the one I find myself with most of the time. It gets shot the most also, So I guess It's my favorite.

mrt949 · June 6, 2012, 04:20 PM

Caliber =357 mag
action =single double
barrell =4" or 2 '
stainless= lazy
What do I carry a RUGER SP 101.

BigJimP · June 6, 2012, 04:49 PM

My favorite caliber is .357 mag ...( heavy, but not too heavy )...

S&W model 27's ( N frame ) .357 mag ...for weight, balance, finish...all of the above...and I fire my 4" dash 2 Nickel more than the others.

However - I have a new single action revolver from Freedom Arms in a 4 3/4" Octaganol barrel ...in .357 mag ....that is also hard to leave at home when I head to the range.

GyMac · June 6, 2012, 10:32 PM

My favorite is a 5 inch, blued Model 10. The DA is smooth and it shoots to POA. The .38 Special is my favorite cartridge.

FJ4ZROX · June 7, 2012, 08:32 AM

The fit/finish, beautiful deep blue, 4" barrel with the full underlug and vented rib...and a proven man stopping cartridge all add up to my personal favorite.

aimtrue · June 9, 2012, 02:01 PM

Of the revolvers I have owned the Ruger GP-100 is my favorite.

It has the best balance, is reliable, extremely accurate, visually pleasing, mechanically precise and fits my hand better than any other.

Rogervzv · June 9, 2012, 02:04 PM

I could never choose between my beloved Ruger GP100 and my 1980 vintage Dan Wesson 15-2.

My Dan, with different barrels

My GP100

MrBorland · June 9, 2012, 02:46 PM

My DAO 4" 686.

Smooth

Accurate

Fast

Plus, it's versatile and dead-nuts reliable.

What's not to like?

joegator · June 9, 2012, 02:58 PM

My stainless 6" .357 mag Security-Six. I love just about everything about it: the trigger, workmanship, good looks, and great accuracy. I think it's a much better pistol than the GP100. Wish they still made them but it would probably be too costly.

rantingredneck · June 9, 2012, 04:14 PM

The one that gets the most carry time is a well worn SP101. Perfect balance of power v. shootability for me.

The one that puts a grin on my face with every trigger squeeze is the 5.5" Blackhawk in .45 Colt. Cowboy loads or deer thumpers, it's just plain fun!

S&W 629-5 Classic 44 magnum with Millett red dot on Wiegand base.

Powerful, very accurate, beautiful trigger pull, fits my hand perfectly, stainless easy care, easy to load for. I have many handguns, but if I had to be one and done, this would be it.

RC20 · June 10, 2012, 12:13 PM

I do not waffle on this. While I like all my guns and love some and other are my go to guns now, its the one I love the best.

S&W, N Famre, Model 57 41 Magnum with 6 inch barrell.

Deaf Smith · June 10, 2012, 12:37 PM

One picture is worth a thousand words...

I'm a fool for 6 shot .357 snubs that are stainless and 'zero-zero' tight (as these two are.)

And yep, I do have others two but these two have been with me well over 20 years.

Cool Breeze · June 11, 2012, 12:13 AM

not that I don't have one- but not a big snub fan here since I tend to carry out of town..............not in

I also love a ruger parade and in particular that gp100 357mag in a heavy barrel like the elk slayer above..........nice job, I envy that. Looks to be a clean drop..................(thumbs up). Ruger makes the users I believe and they last

but ain't a 357 just a bit "light" for elk?

I guess I better get some pics going here also

PUPP86 · June 11, 2012, 08:21 PM

My SW 60 inherited from my Dad who past 4 years ago today.

Late '68 model if I recall. Was always either on him or in the nightstand.

Deja vu · June 11, 2012, 09:33 PM

I know I may get laughed at but I like my NAA 22short mini revolver.

oldgranpa · June 12, 2012, 08:06 AM

A just plain 6-1/2" Ruger Blackhawk .357magnum is most accurate handgun I have, for range or hunting. For CCW, a S&W M&P 360, .357magnum. Fits my pocket with a Mika holster.
But the favorite is the Blackhawk.

kraigwy · June 12, 2012, 08:13 AM

I'd have to say my Model 28 service revolver, It was issued to me in '74, I carried it most of my 20 years in LE, and it was given to my by the Dept. when I retired.

coolbreezy · June 12, 2012, 01:26 PM

I love all my revolvers (including my raging bull 454), but I would say probably my smith 629-1 3 incher takes the cake.
