Okay, here we go:
On the left, .22s:
Herbert Schmidt Model 21S Texas Scout with Magnum cylinder,
Iver-Johnson Supershot Sealed 8 (these tend to age to a
great antique patina),
North American Arms M1860 “The Earl” with Magnum cylinder (my full review
here),
Smith & Wesson 17-3 (nothing needs saying),
Charter Arms Target Pathfinder.
On the right:
Enfield No.2 Mk1*,
Pietta 1873 (traditional copy in .45; I see Pietta's making them with
transfer bars now – ugh),
S&W 66-2 (stainless version of model 19),
S&W 586-2,
Ruger GP100 (SS short barrel is all everyone wants; don't know why there's such a drought of them all the time).
Up top is the beast: the Rossi Circuit Judge (in all its hilarious tacticool glory).
The Herbert Schmidt is just a cheap piece o' trash, but all the rest I'd recommend (heck, pick up the Schmidt anyway; you can find them for like a hundred from time to time). The Charter Arms isn't bad, but the trigger is definitely not a Smith, let alone a tuned Smith. Got springs from Wolff in all the ones that they supply, and it can make a good gun great without much work.
Though I've always preferred shooting classic S&W blued and wood guns with the older features (firing pin mounted on the hammer and such), I've amassed my collection with an eye to variety. Got single action, SA/DA, and DAO; pencil barrel, half shroud, heavy with full lug; top break, removeable cylinder, swing-out; blued (my preference) and stainless (bright or blasted); plinker, .38, and big bore; cowboy, military, regular, and space cowboy; short, medium, and loooong (can't have no snubby, sniff). I guess now that's covered I can get a 460V and all the classic Smiths I've enjoyed shooting in the past (doubt I can get some family members to give up some of their gems yet)!
What cal and where are they sold?
