I didn't like revolver's when I was younger but love them now. I stupidly sold a Ruger Super Blackhawk three screw in fantastic condition a few years ago. Today I found a Freedom Arms 454 premier model with a second cylinder for a good used price. It's described as lnib. I am sending payment Monday lol. Any others out their? Rugers are well loved in my area.
Any big wheel gun fans?

I like revolvers but mostly in the smaller calibers. I had a Ruger Service-six 2.75" and it was ok.

Freedom Arms Premier Model ... made in Wyoming ... that’s about as good as it gets!
Embarrassingly, I’ll admit to owning a S&W 500 (4”) that has a Hillary hole
... haven’t gotten around to plugging the hole, but that’s going to change in the near future.

Most of the shooters here!
I just put a hundred reload rounds through a new S&W Mod. 10 yesterday.

Colt 357, S&W model 57 .41 magnum and a few more
480 Ruger in a Super Redhawk, couple of 44s, 41 mag in a Blackhawk, a few 357, a couple 327 Federal mag, some 45 Colt, and a smattering of 22s. Yeah, I prefer wheelguns.
I have several.

I have one or two.
3 screw Blackhawk .41 mag. (.357 frame) with Herrett's Shooting Star grips. A gunsmith took the trigger pull down to 2 pounds. Had it for ages. El Paso Saddlery 1920 crossdraw holster.
1894 Colt Model P in .45 Colt. El Paso Saddlery 1880 holster and money belt.

That’ll be fine, simon1
The Hillary hole (AKA, S&W’s lame attempt at placating 2A unfriendlies who weren’t even seeking appeasement), as seen on someone’s destitute (rust) S&W
And the Hillary hole plug, complements of Original Precision Bulletproof Parts
Many revolvers, S&W DAs and Ruger SAs .22LR, various .32s, .357, .38-40, .41, .44 and .45.
My first firearm (my purchase) was a Ruger Blackhawk SA 41 magnum. That big enough?
I have a few:
Ruger GP 100-.357 Magnum
S&W Model 629-.44 Magnum
Colt King Cobra-.357 Magnum
S&W Model 66-.357 Magnum..no dash P&R. (shown with the aforementioned M629)
Colt Cobra-.38 Special
S&W Model 442-.38 Special

No one said anything about pretty pictures...
S&W 29-1(1959). Four inch barrel. High polish. Case colored small parts. Cocobolo presentation grips, pinned and recessed. S&W Walnut presentation box. All it is missing is factory engraving.
Unfired.

I’ve been a wheel gun guy from rather early on in my years as a gun owner. I am not a huge fan of the bigger bad gun mentality, and personally an stand 44 mags in a revolver. 41 mag and below I really enjoy. I also like bigger bore guns, I have had a smith 625 in 45acp, and would love to get my hands on a single action army clone in 45Colt.
My favorites are heavy barrel model 10s, model 19s, and 617 from smith and Wesson. I have had a few opportunities to learn to like 32cal Double action revolvers and be pleased to have a few of them.
im a bigger fan of wheel guns than semi auto. I have a good representation of them all, but my preference leans toward the wheel guns. I also really like lever actions, and bolt action rifles.

I love the .41 Mag. Very underloved round. Never owned anything chambered in it, because even 20 years ago, it was an underappreciated round. I had a coworker at the range I worked at who had a Ruger Blackhawk and a Marlin lever action chambered in it, and they were fantastic shooters.
I should look for an older S&W chambered in it.
But I've owned multiple S&W Mod-19s (prefer the -3 and lower because of the recessed cylinder) and have a police trade in S&W .357 in the safe, along with an .38SPL Airweight that lives in the couch pouch.

Take a look at the Cimarron Firearms Model P. The action on mine was pretty rough, but after a couple of boxes of shells and sitting around with snap caps while watching TV it smoothed right up. Mine is the old Model frame.

Wow. Do you have that in a portable safe, that's inside a floor safe, that's inside a bank vault? Unfired also. I'm sure having the docs would be too much to ask...they are probably long gone.
