Where Are The Revolvers

[okla1911]

The first pistol I ever bought was S&W 42 Classic. Its one gun I will never part with.

I really wanted to be old-school so I had several revolvers, including odd-ball modern 9mm Luger and .45 ACP examples. The last, a S&W 325 Night Guard, was a really nice one, too - had trouble letting that one go. However, having cut my teeth on a 1911, I just couldn't reconcile myself to the long, heavy DA trigger pull on those revolvers, so they all left my employ.

Wow! Wish I'd had a shot at that one. Been really wanting a Night Guard!

I have a couple of Ruger Blackhawks that I love. I really want a DA in 45 colt, but the only ones that I come across are those stupid Judge/Governor abortions. I'd love to get a Redhawk but I can't ever find one.

I had a very hard time selling my nickel 44 mag 4 inch 29-3. Ended up letting it go cheap at the gun show. Nobody wanted it on here. Wheel guns aren't what people are buying now, it's all semiauto

Here is one of the most sought after 3" model 66's for sale. It won't last long even at $900. If I didn't already have 5 of them I'd get it myself

Was yours the left-handed version that was posted a month ago or so?

I bet if you had used the words "tactical" or "high tech, anti-corrosive" in the description, you could have sold it for twice the value.
You are correct that the tide has swung to autos....but I still can't get good deals on the revolvers I want.

Hey Andy:
I got my firing pin from Rossi last week. Put it in myself over the weekend, haven't got to shoot it yet. Planning on going to hte eat-n-shoot at weatherby's this weekend, I'll try it out then.

Might also mention, I have a S&W .38 snubbie 10-5. I've had it for about 30 years, it's a cool little gun.

Good to hear! I went and shot about 50 rounds of hot loaded 44mag yesterday and I can barely squeeze my hand today its so sore

Well yes it was. The pic was just turned around from adding the pics online. Surely people really didn't believe it was left handed, ha.
