Let's See Them Non Mini Revolvers

[RogueTS1]

Need to liven this place up a bit and give Uncle Lee something to gaze upon with his morning coffee .......... so here is a pair:

[top dog]

Rogue,
Nice stuff there for sure!!

Where did you get those grips??  They look nice and I bet helps absorb the recoil.

Very ,very nice Rogue Great photo . Now you need a couple of Huckleberry holster rigs to carry under a nice leather jacket for winter to keep those beauties warm .

They each have an AIWB kydex holster they get carried in. "Two guns ............. one for each of ya." 

PS: The grips come from a maker on Ebay Top Dog. They fit perfectly, right out of the box. We did take the somewhat pointy ends off the butts though. Merely a cosmetic thing.

Rogue,
What loads do you use in those snubbies??

I have found that regardless of all the hype,a nice wadcutter load works best. No real need for that +P stuff.

                                              Top Dog

[RogueTS1]

Top Dog, we do not use +P loads in them. We use standard velocity Federal Hydra Shock in them presently. We are working on a Wadcutter load but laziness has kept us from testing to find the best load data before finalizing the design.

Another pair for all to gaze upon ......................... Big Bores:

I agree with the use and carrying of wadcutters in 38's in several circumstances. For totally new shooters who are looking for a carry gun and have no experience with firearms, i recommend a 38 revolver loaded with wad cutters to practice to become proficient and to subsequently carry. Gun stores almost universally push semi autos on people who have no experience with firearms and are looking for a firearm for home and self defense. many cannot handle it. Wad cutters are also good to carry with older revolvers like the smith and wesson Baby Chief. And of course there is nothing wrong with carrying them in 38's in general.

[Ozark75]

A couple of my favorites...

[top dog]

Ozark,
They look very nice,what caliber??

Rogue & Hey Joe,
Yep,I agree with you. No real need for that +P stuff.

The Hydar-Shok rounds were first developed by two NY State Troopers I thing it was in the late 60s or early 70s.

Then some years later the design was taken over by Federal.  Very good rounds.

Heres a few of my beautys   Top bunch Smiths 38+P  357.
                                                      second down my Colt 45 Long Colt (cannon )
                                                      Third down Desert Eagle 50 ACP. (bigger cannon)
                                                      Last but not the least my trusty Colt 1911 . Its my carry when wadding for Largemouth Bass in our lakes and ponds. Never knowwhen one might get into a firefight with a family of pissed off alligators in which all those mags come to bare . LIGHT THEM UP! ! !  Heck Rogue I use to have a fairy but it was the tooth fairy and now I need implants .
Have a few more but need to down size the picts .for later . Eye candies we all love for that sweet tooth .
All my guns I have made a number of zombie loads for them just in case . You smart guys know what those are they have something  in common with that planet Mercury .(liquid) . Closest to the Sum .

[Ozark75]

FYI Top dog--they are .22 blackpowder

[top dog]

Ozark,
Thank you for the information.

OV-1D,
Nice stuff there for sure??

You have iguanas down your way?? You hunt them with high power air rifles??

What about snakehead fish??

I am thinking of going down to FL in early spring for an Iguana/snakehead fish safari.

mmmmm nice. i have a 638 myself

[OV-1D]

We all have some pretty good tastes don't we . Those smaller 38's do have a special place in me heart . Hey those two antiques aren't bad neither , still some black powder shells out there but I found no need to get any seeing shorts and longs will suffice .

[top dog]

OV-1D,
No doubt about it. The folks on this forum have some nice stuff for sure!!

Always something special about snubbies and minis!!!

We love the shrouded hammers. If they make one and we want a certain model it will always have the shrouded hammer. Good ole Humpback.

[RogueTS1]

[top dog]

Rogue,

I presume 38 S&W?? I have Lee dies for that caliber.

                               Top Dog

[heyjoe]

                               Top Dog

the box underneath says 32 s&W

[top dog]

HeyJoe,
I did not notice that.

Back in the day that gun was made,it was mostly black powder and corrosive primer loads. What is the conditon of the bore/chambers??

                                    Top Dog

[RogueTS1]

Superb shape but S&W said not to fire it ................. too valuable and next to no parts for repairs.  So she sits in the safe.

[RogueTS1]

Okay ............ time for the next set. These have been seen before but not in reference to this thread. So here they are ............ The Colt Twins:

[top dog]

Rogue
