What's the marque revolver to make the heads turn at the range..........

I have an old Ruger Super Blackhawk my father bought in 1959, we fired one cylinder from it that Christmas and he put it away - he did let me fire two shots of the 6 we shot that day. He left it to me when he died. It attracts attention when I take it to the range, lots of comments that they've never seen one in that good condition. The blueing is beautiful on those old Rugers, nice and deep and dark. It's a good shooter too, very accurate and a smooth trigger.
My Nickel Colt Trooper MK III seems to go over very well with people who see and hear it in person.Probably not the best looking, best built, or most unusual gun, but it's the best I own and has family history, so it will have to do 
. And as I said, it still seems to go over pretty well with most people also.

I get a lot of looks and positive comments when I bring out my new Ruger Alaskan .44 with that little ol' 2 1\2 inch barrel, but maybe it's because they are still hard to get in these parts. That little bugger bites, too! It's the only gun I wear a shooting glove with. Wolfsong.

This 4" Leupold scoped M500 usually gets some strange looks, but you really can't beat a Freedom Arms. I've got a M555 in .50AE, and it is one very accurate and very precision piece of machinery.

this would likely turn heads....

So would a BFR in .45-70. Or a premium Freedom Arms. Or a chromed Python. Others, too...

One wonders what the purpose would be....
to impressing your fellow shooters????? This'll probably be one of those "oh I brought it to the range a few times, but the ammo is too expensive, and I don't like the recoil" My prediction is it will be back on the used market all to shortly.

Bolt on gadfly accessories to your hearts content. You could shoot black powder loads through it for even greater effect. I 'spect 70 grains of FFg from a 10" revolver should generate clouds of smoke that would be visibile via sattelite.
Personally, I find a nickel 4" model 29 to be about all the glitz I can tolerate, while still punching respectable-size holes about where I want them.
But that's just me.

Aside from the black powder guns which I think is because peaple dislike the smoke and mine usually leaves a bacon smell in the air I would say a Phelps revolver in .444 marlin or .45-70 at least. That thing is HUGE. Its like something the Joker would pull out of his pants to shoot batman with.
