I Have A Weakness For Revolvers
There I said it!
I was reorganizing my safe this morning to make some room for my latest revolver and I realized that I have a weakness for wheelguns. Family portrait: Left side=Smith and Wessons. Right side=Colt. Around the outside=Rugers Edited to reflect the fact that I can't spell. Last edited by highpower3006; November 17, 2012 at 05:38 PM. |

Not a weakness, just good taste in guns.

1-old: That is a very nice display. I've never seen anyone with that many handguns. Do you have any semi autos?

Nice herd! You don't have a "weakness" . . . you have an affection . . . recognize it and nourish it! Revolvers are like dogs or fine wine . . . there's always room for more!

Mighty pretty hardware in this thread and I'm not even a "revolver guy" to be sure. I have a comparable amount/diversity of semi's but forgive me not one revolver).
Funny thing is the first handgun I ever shot was my Dad's (RIP) S&W Model 10 service revolver and then his CPD BUG. I never really became a "gun nut" though until after I graduated College (semi 9mm craze had just taken hold) and began to make a few bucks (and I do mean "few" ) that allowed for a reasonable handgun/long-gun collection over the past twenty years. Long story short, I have always 'browsed' the revolver threads just to maintain a basic knowledge of the industry. But in the last several years I have taken a renewed interests in them (I see them all the time as one of my favorite genres of film are Westerns). Suffice it to say that I will definitively be in contact with Santa about a wheel-gun this Christmas! If I had a "wish-list" for the bearded one I would like to have either a classic Colt Python or a S&W 29 (or 686 or....). -Happy Holidays

Here are a few of them - these pics include very few of the rimfires or double actions...

Consecutively numbered .38-40/.40 S&W convertible Vaqueros. I have a third one, but not consecutive to these two. (edit) All three of these are already in the first picture. Not really a revolver, but...

While I don't have anything nearly as impressive as the previously shown collections, I too share an affinity for revolvers. Here are some of the wheelguns I've owned over the years:

Webleymkv,
Just curious, do you still own those beaut's as you say "over the years"... Reason I ask is I have always had a problem getting rid of them . I never thought I would get close to maxing out my safe (yet some of the members here have several so I don't feel too bad)...

If you have an itch for revolvers, by all means scratch it. I do.
