I have 4" and 6" model 28s.
I have a 6.5" 24-3 (.44 Special)
I have a 4" Model 58 (.41 Magnum)
I have a Brazilian contract 1917 in .45 ACP.
And my most recent was a 4" Model 25-5 in .45 Long Colt.
It looks like they tend to follow me home, too.

Your missing an 8 3/8

Who, me?
That barrel length will remain missing from my collection. I prefer 4" tubes myself.

They follow you home because you appreciate the old blued N-frame revolvers and you have the cash. Back when Bass Pro offered a 5" 686, I was so tempted to buy one. Seemed like the perfect barrel length for general shooting. I later went back and of course the sale was over and they no longer had that barrel length.
I really like my 8 3/8" Model 57. They just don't make them like that any more.

@ Mike and Cajun...
Sorry you've got to have at least one 8" tube for your N frame collection. How do you watch the Dirty Harry movies without one? LOL!
I agree that the four inch is the bee's knees though!

I've never seen Dirty Harry carry an 8 3/8" barreled revolver. 6" yes.

I have 5" and 6.5" N frames. I'd love a 4", but we'll see if that happens. I don't see me getting into the 88" ones... those just never look right to me (but then, I would like a nice long barreled X frame...).

I never said he did. I said it was required to watch Dirty Harry movies. I'm sorry my attempt at humor didn't translate well on the internet.

No nickel, either. Or stainless steel.
"If you haven't shot an 8 3/8" N frame, don't knock it till you have tried it."
I have. That's why I'm knocking it.
"I said it was required to watch Dirty Harry movies."
Ah. OK, gotcha.

The one that I really want is a 6" Model 57 (blue). I have a nickel 4" M57.
