Socrates,
Looks like you have a Ruger clone in that mix. No pins through the frame. Who made it?

hnk45acp, nice lookin Reeder.

Now if I can just it to work as well as it looks......

 

[Eightball]

Nice red-color effect through the barrel and those ports!

 

[Socrates]

Tipoc:
Ruger clone?

The seville was probably the best ever SA made, by United Sporting Arms.
The Second gun is a 500 Maximum Long, done by Jack Huntington, based on a Ruger Maximum.

Socrates,
Thanks, heard of them but I haven't seen a Seville before. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

wish I knew how to do pictures. I have a Tombstome Commemorative made in Tombstome By United Sporting Arms TC-132 That is beautiful.

Lots of beautiful pistols but My choice has always been the Colt SAA, feel the best in my hand too.

 

[Socrates]

Hi John
If you want, you can send me the pictures, and I'll be happy to post them.

I'll scan them, and return them to you, if you like.

Best looking revolver is the Colt Python. It is the icon of revolvers. It's little brother, the Colt Diamondback, is just as handsome, but traditionally the bluing is not quite as nice.

In my mind........

...nothing beats a 4" Royal Blue Python. There are many beautiful revolvers but the 4" python needs no explanation.

 

[gandog56]

Gotta agree, but I like a stainless Python.

 

[KingofAttendance]

S&W Model 29 or a Colt Single Action Army

 

[BillCA]

This is for Jim_PHL who also admires the 2" Model 15's...

Lots of nice guns here. But I really do like the S&W N-Frames.

In the old/discontinued line category, It's almost a tie for me.

S&W Model 27-2, 3.5" Barrel, Nickle finish w/case.

S&W Model 58 M&P, 4" Nickle finish


For a "new" gun, I have to vote for the Model 22 retro. A .45ACP wheelgun with fixed rear sights, that half-moon front sight, tapered barrel and in a deep blue. What's not to like?

 

[old_ironsights]

Both New AND Discontinued!

Both New AND Discontinued - Taurus .45LC Ultralite, Model 450SS2ULC on "compact" frame and only 20oz.

 

[paddling_man]

Do production that have been customized count?

If so, my favorite so far has been tex45acp's shortened Redhawk!

I like this 629 a lot too!

I've become somewhat disenchanted with autos the past couple of years and have been looking, and bought a couple, more revolvers. It is hard to find a good looking auto that looks better to me than a good looking revolver.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

I prefer durability AND good looks.
A GP100 with Lett Ivory inserts is my cup of tea.

 

[Jim Z.]

Here are my three....

The top is a S&W 29-6 6.5" Classic DX - discontinued;

The next is a stainless Ruger Security Six .357 mag;

and their little brother is a 642-2 38 Spl that I carry.

I love the royal blue 4" Python, I wish I had one again.
