1916 S&W Triple Lock 2nd model

[farpoint]

Traded for a S&W Triple Lock in .455 Webley last year. Made for the British in 1916 for the war effort. I was taken by it.
Took the gun and test fired it. Accurate...not.
So I had a family member confident in gun repairs look at it. He found a dent in the barrel in front of the ejector rod lockup.
Didn't want to spend several hundred dollars on a replacement or have to pay for dent removal, for I decided to shorten the barrel.
Barrel is now around 3 3/8 inch. And to keep cost down, I opted to mount a Bradley Shotgun Bead.
Pistol chambers the Colt .45 (long). Worked out well, because I've always wanted a shorter bbl N frame for conceal carry. I'm happy with the finished product.

Definitely old school cool.

Gotta love them old school revos.

Almost a Fitz special. Are those Jay Scott grips or Franzite? If the latter, those are collectible, too...not like a Triple Lock, but certainly would add to package...closest I ever came was a nickeled 1923 2nd Model Hand Ejector .44Spl....slick does not begin to describe the old guns.

S&W + big-bore snubbie, now you're talking.

That’s not a Triple Lock. Looks like a fun gun to shoot though. I’m curious why you think it is a TL? The TL was a First Model. The Second removed the shrouded ejector housing and the third lock.

Cool - how's the recoil on a 45 long
