[ruffbird]

A new pair of Ruger flattops, .44 special


.357 mag/9mm convertible

 

[TriggerHappyGal]

My new (new to me) S&W 686, 357 Magnum. Loving it!

 

[Morlock]

Gave a bit of a polish to the 686.

Very nicely done! Makes me consider doing my 686 no dash with 8 inch barrel...that looks great.

Model 69 Combat Magnum.

Takes 5 Rounds right? How does that thing kick with factory .44 mag? My 629 with 4.2 inch bbl kicks hard lol.

Yes, 5-rounder on the smaller L-frame. It's pretty punishing with 240-grainers and the wood grips don't help, but I think it would be manageable with the original rubber grips. It's not a gun for limp-wristed wimps.

Prob be sweet shooting .44 specials.

It's endless fun shooting with Bullseye and JHP's. I don't bother with shorter brass as it makes the cylinder harder to clean. The sights are surprisingly good for punching paper.

Id love to see a side my side shot with a 629 4.2 inch bbl, to gauge it. I have been thinking about getting one.

Love the polished look! Did you use a buffing wheel?

Keep all the great photos coming. Now you all have me thinking of a 44 magnum!

Here's my latest acquisition - Uberti 1851 open top in 38 special.

 

[GunGuy34]

629 side by side with the 69 combat magnum, trying to see the size difference. I did find hickok45 video that showed it after.

My latest acquisition....courtesy of the EE. This is Colt revolver number six but my first Python

Yes, on an ordinary bench grinder. 1000-grit finish to remove tooling marks and use scratches, then a stitched muslin wheel with Greystar compound, followed by a loose muslin wheel with rouge.

The only downside is never being able to actually touch it again. Shiny stainless fingerprints like crazy.

 

[TriggerHappyGal]

I am tempted to try that - already have the bench grinder and components. I get the fingerprint part, but it may be worth it - it looks like the Colt Python finish!

Here's my model 66 combat magnum, I have a model 19-4 that should be here next week too, loving the k-frame goodness. Still wanting this ones big brother in the worse way(model 69), This gun has been very good to me so far, Shot a 3 gun match, a top gun match and a few practical nights with it, tonight its going to a steel match as well, I put in the lighter wolff springs which make a world of difference, Only problem is on DA some primers are too hard and it wont fire, I read federal primers solve this problem completely so I picked up a brick, Now I just need to buy some more projectiles.
