Wheel Gun Show-N-Tell

[armyvet209]

Model 19-8 that I just picked up in the classifieds. Came with the original box. I think I'll put a set of Hogues on her. They fit my hand better.

smith and wesson model 19-3 with 6" barrel. pinned and recessed. picture doesnt do it justice, not a mark on it other than a very faint turn line on the cylinder

Beautiful. You can see the difference in the bluing technique from the older ones to the newer ones. Mine is more of a flat black and the older ones have a bit of a grey sheen that is almost pearlized.

1918 Colt New Service Commercial 45 Colt.......

I like it! I'm a sucker for old Colts and Smith's.

 

[ghitch75]

thanks Dr.......year was off by 1 1917....

I have more of these but this will do for now, I loveNorth American Arms Mini-Revolvers too. They make great BUGs and even make a great carry revolver for those days when you need lightweight that won't pull your lightweight cotton shorts down from your butt…

Out of curiosity, does it require moon clips (earlier models) or can it head space on the cylinder chambers (later models)? These are an interesting piece of history. They were chambered to use the .45 ACP when Colt couldn't meet the US Army and USCM demand for M1911 pistols after we entered WWI.

very nice collection!!!......you need a sidewinder and a wasp and to it........i got a wasp over the weeekend....

 

[warthog]

I have those too but I forgot to put them in the picture. I will get them all next time for sure. I carry the Sidewinder, I have two of those, and the Wasp happened to be somewhere else when I grabbed these so I missed it too. I have a few others as well but those are currently somewhere I don't know. I had some things happen a couple years ago and my father decided to put some things away because he felt there were too many weapons around and thought that if someone saw them it would scare them. No one has ever been in my house other than him. No one visits of my family, he only came up from FL to give me a hand after I had been in the hospital for a long time, I had an infection that had nearly killed me (I am fine now).

Anyway, I will see about getting more of mine in the next shot.

New VZ Grips, recoil broke the old Stock Grips.....

Is the recoil brutal on that J frame?

Is the recoil brutal on that J frame?

With 357 magnums it is very brutal! Not at all with normal 38 specials.
Nice looking grips, I have been considering some VZ's for my Smith 360.
