I might be in the minority but I think some of the best looking HG's are revolvers….

another 27-2 5 inch....... In nickel. Brand new unfired 1975 with original box and papers. The model 29 is no longer in my possession .

The .455 Hand Ejector 2nd Model has provenance to an officer in the Royal Canadian Engineers who received the Military Cross late in the Great War. The pre-Victory is Canadian-marked and I "needed one" as my grandfather (whose medals, glengarry and map are pictured) carried one as a despatch rider.

You mean like this ?

Very very nice, #1bc. An early example with the longer barrel and the checkered stocks.

Overall some pretty sweet wheel guns in this thread. Nice to see some appreciation for this technology - both older and newer examples.

I'm not much of a photographer.

My meager collection.

The 29 and 17 have since been re-blued, and have acquired a full under lug 19 which is not shown.

Also, have a 617, but don't consider that one a classic example.

i didn't realize they made a 19 with a full under lug. i thought only the L frame 58X/68X had them

It's a custom made 19 (only lists 38spl on the bbl). Is 5xx not a re-incarnation of the 19?

ah ok, a custom. because they are different frames, I've never thought of the 58x as a re-incarnation but suppose it could be

 

[gnmontey]

Photographer I am not!

19-4 with full under lug.

Is the 586 series not a 686 series with a 19 size grip?

I can never figure out Smith's designation for stuff other than the 6 first digit sometimes meaning stainless.

[sailor723]

I thought the 586 was just a 686 but blued rather than stainless. ( both L frames)
My 586 is definitely bigger than my K frame K38 pre model 14. AFAIK the 19 is a 14 with a slightly beefed up yoke

Correct

ooo, I can play too!

Newly acquired S&W 629 Stealth Hunter, .44MAG, unfired. Planning to go to the range this weekend.

That is a thing of beauty! Damn man, another gun to add to the wanted list.

M67

SKU: 162802

The K-Frame revolver is one of the most important innovations in Smith & Wesson history and was built specifically to handle the .38 S&W Special cartridge. Since its introduction in 1899, the K-Frame has been a favorite for military and police professionals as well as target shooters and enthusiasts. Today's K-Frame is available in .22 LR and .38 S&W Special.

This is where I got the 6X connection from. Me bad.

Some where I saw an advert for a Smith claiming it was a L frame with a K frame grip?

[#1bcshooter]

K frame & L frame grips are interchangeable

I have one just like that except just one arrow, not the sold out of service opposing. Nice pistols
