Anyone ever had an Escort?

You know, the S&W model 61.

Gotcha didn't I!! I think these things are pretty neat.

I've got a small, but growing collection of small oddball firearms:
Boberg XR9
Seecamp LWS 32 and LWS 380
Rohrbaugh R9
COP .357 Derringer (technically in my brother's safe but I own the gun)
Manhattan Pepperbox - 6 shot ca.1857
and a few others.

I think one of these would fit in nicely! Maybe one of these days. A Baby Browning and a nice PPK (although these aren't oddball by any means) are high on the list for this collection.

One of my family members has one. It's a neat little gun. My recollection is that it suffers from failures to extract, but it hasn't been shot in about a decade now. Be sure that you research the variants before buying one. Some report that the early ones had reliability issues.

Here are a few links to get you started:
The Arms Room
Unblinking Eye
Breach Bang Clear

I rented one once... for a few minutes...

I have a blued version 3, absolutely love it, great little gun.

They have a horrible reputation, so getting a good one is a crap shoot, later version were better.

The S+W 422/622/2206/2213/2214 were based on the same design with a lot of improvements, they are a great gun.

I might have an issue with these guns, here is the 61 with some of the others...

Hmm, figured you were going with Ford Escort.

I’ve had 3. One nickel and two blued. This is the one I kept.

Did you have an accidental discharge?

I never had one but I bought one for a friend on his birthday. He was very happy.
