Why Are There No Good 5-Inch Blued Revolvers?!

I really like what he did with that JM! I have a couple Model 66s, I may just think about having one done up like that as well! As for short barrelled blue guns, I do have a 5" Model 10, and Model 27-2. Great handling. I also have a 27-2 nickel that might be nice to do up like yours JM, there is a thought....that would be a sweet set up!
I bought what I thought was a 25-2 with intentions of setting it up like this 19, when it showed up it turned out to be a 4 screw model 25 no dash in great shape and I couldn't bring myself to have it modified. Maybe I'll find a beater but I'd really like a 45acp set up like this.
Like I said, I really like my 586. If I wanted a shorter barrell I would send it to Murray Carlton to customize it. I love full underlugs...That migt be a route for you: buy a brand new 586 and send it to Murray. It will be a bit of a pricy journey but you'll get quite a quality piece and just what you want. If you decide to do that, give a call to Murray before just to be sure it is doable.

wow, that Wesson 15-2 platform is very nifty!
what does one of those in .357 run and where can you buy the replacement barrels?

Hi
If a person looks hard there are quite a few blued 5 inch revolvers out there but you have to look for them.
Here are few to look at.
1st a Model 10 in 38 special with a 5 inch barrel
Number 2 is a 38-44 Heavy duty with a 5 inch barrel in 38 special
Number 3 is a 586 with a 4.2 inch barrel (factory) in 357 mag.
Number 4 is a Model 27 with a 5 inch barrel in 357 Mag
Number 6 is Model 544 with a 5 inch barrel in 44-40 caliber
Number 6 is a model 29 with a 5 inch barrel in 44 mag.
Number 7 is a model 25 with a 5 inch barrel in 45 Colt.
There is a few to look at, I have others as well as stainless models but the thread is about blued guns and not stainless models.

I'll bet you would Ha. Ha.

They come up for sale from time to time here on the EE. Their prices are really starting to jump - some of the longer (10" plus) barrels/shrouds are selling for big dollars in the States. If you find one with at least an 6" barrel and a 8", I would jump on it. You can also import barrels from the States if need be.

Good luck finding one. I'de Love to get one too one day.
Why must you tease, LOL!?!?!?!?
Seriously "IF" you ever consider it please let me know.
I've got one (Model 10-5) that is a 9.9/10....but pretty sure you don't want to pay what it would take to pry it from my safe! Here it is with my 5" 27-2 (and yes I have original target grips, but these suit me better for shooting). Not a great pic, but it is raining outside still and lighting is for crap.
