Don't forget REVOLVERS

I had one years back (20+) and regret selling it, looked for the better part of 5 years to find that one...both pair of grips came with the set from the factory.

I don't think the man shot it much at all, all blueing on gun and shrouds if perfect, and barely a scroll line on the cylinder. Other sets I found were either missing a barrel or 2, or the finish looked like hell. They're just hard to find good complete sets now I guess.

Brother's got a D.W., love the finish. His is nice but didn't come with all the stuff you got Silent.
Joe, I think you could probably find someone who makes those in .44 that would give you an idea what a fair price is. Heck, get ahold of D.W. and ask them what they want for one new and that'd be a good starting point for getting one. I doubt many owners would get rid of their tool unless they sold off some of their barrels

While I'm not a collector my weapons are of the newer breed, I do have my trusty lil 1993 Ruger SP101 2 1/4 snubby... Oh I do love that bad boy but cant hit the broad side of a barn after 7yds...lol I keep'er loaded up with Ranger 38+p+. Been meaning to send it to Gimini Customs for some magna-porting...Any had this done??? How much nicer is it???

I've mostly shot semi-autos, but I recently bought my dad a Ruger sp101 in .357 for christmas and I must say, that thing is stout. He keeps it loaded in his truck and has really enjoyed it.

I'm thinking of picking up a wheelgun myself.

I like the wheelguns too.

One of my favorites is an old Colt Police Positive Special that I picked up for cheap at a local pawn shop. It was a re-imported Colombian Federal Police gun. Since those "federales" must've shot it about a million times, the double action on it is slick as snot. It had those original little bitty Colt grips on it, but I changed 'em out for a set of full-size Pachmayrs. That thing is an absolute pleasure to shoot. I can sit at the plate rack at Magnolia and ding 'em all day long with it.

I've got a Ruger SP101 with the 3" barrel that is my most-of-the-time protection gun. It's a sweet shooter too. I also had a Smith 686 like Cap mentioned that was a hell of a nice revolver that got stolen. That one and a Llama 1911 are the two I've had stolen over the years. I liked the Smith so much that I'd go buy another Llama and GIVE the damned thing to them if I could just get my Smith back.

And, as Doug mentioned, with revolvers you don't have to go chasing down brass all over the place.

Yes the S&W686 was designed to shoot magnums and keep shooting them but my 4" is very good with several .38SPC loads including some old 3-D 125gSWC I had. I could sure use my S&W617 these days.
Brutus-I had a Colt Police Positive years ago also...wish I still had her and all the .44Mags I've owned and traded/sold. I do still have my ole Rohm .22short that can hit from inside the barn...http://www.flickr.com/photos/commed-150

Docs, this is kind of weird. I have an old Rohm .22LR that I got from an uncle several years ago now. I didn't think I'd ever see another one and now yours makes the fifth one that I've come across in the last two weeks.

I've only shot this one a few times. Maybe I'll take it out to Magnolia this week with some CCI CB Short and see if it can do anything.
