If money is not an issue, which revolver would you buy?
I would choose a Smith & Wesson Performance Center 627 TRR8. 357 Mag Caliber with a capacity of 8 rounds.

That's why it nice there are so many choices out there. The Smith & Wesson Performance Center 627 TRR8 wouldn't interest me even if free but a nice Colt 32 Police CTG in blue with the 2½" barrel would; however money will always be an issue.
Honestly I can't think of any expensive firearms I want; certainly none that would do more than stretch my retiree budget a little.

Well--I've got revolvers for everything I want a revolver for---so if someone else is footing the bill I want a Webley-Fosbery in 38ACP.

If we're talking a new model then a Manurhin MR-73. If we're talking an old model, S&W Model 29 (-2 or older), S&W Model 58, S&W Registered Magnum, S&W Triple Lock Target, Colt New Service Shooting Master .357 Magnum, Webley WG Army Model, S&W New Model No. 3 Frontier, Webley Bulldog .442 Webley, and Merwin & Hulbert Pocket Army 3rd Model

Wow, it is eye-opening to see there are so many high-end revolvers.

A 4.25" blue Python. I've got two of the SS ones, but if money wasn't an object, I wouldn't mind having a blue one.

Colt Anaconda 6 inch stainless, extra shinny.
Saw one a the gun shop and it was calling my name. But, I don't have any of the things to reload this caliber. And on top of that Dillon still is out 44 mag dies that I insist on. It's the $300 in reloading hardware that is keeping me away from this beauty. On the other hand, both my wife and I are very interested in the Dan Wesson dwx. Already have all the things necessary to reload for the 9mm and 40, and we want one in 40s&w. I'm looking forward to the dwx joining our target shooting, but I'm too much of a tightwad to make the move. |

Smith & Wesson Model 629-8 Performance Center with an 8-⅜" Fluted Barrel.
I nearly bought one a few years ago, but they sold out and have since gone out of production.

I'd ask S&W to make a Plus variant and in 4" of 686 Competition. Eye of the beholder, but a lot going for it I think, just not for me in the current 6" and 6 round set up.

My new 27 was really nice but in the end I chose to keep my 28 and give the 27 to a friend who really really wanted it.
The 28 shot as accurately and was as reliable as the 27, just not as pretty and at the time what I needed was a carry gun anyway. The 28 sure was purty though.

I'd be pretty happy with a 3 1/2" M-27
Or even to have my old 4" M-57 back (but then I'd have to go back and buy another set of dies, brass and bullets.) So short of winning the lottery, I can live just fine without them, and have been doing so for a while. And since I don't buy lottery tickets.... |
