Happy Wheel Gun Wednesday

[pwrwgn57]

Speaking of wheelguns.....question for everyone??? Anyone shot or own a 327 Federal? This thread had me googling.

Ruger SP101 3” in 327. Fun gun to shoot, wife usually carries it when we’re hunting.
I’d like to pick up a 327 Ruger single action but they’re apparently made of gold based on some of the prices out there.

I’ve been so close to buying one of the HR sportsman so many times, just never seem to get myself to do it though. How do you like it?

You should do it. They’re a sweet little fun. It was my dad’s. I got my first kill with it when I was probably like 10 yrs old; I killed a red squirrel with it. Took it out shooting just yesterday; still puts em right where you point it. My dad passed in Oct, and it was one of the first guns I made sure made its way to my safe.

I’m sorry for your loss. That’s a great keepsake, and sounds like a pistol worth having even if it wasn’t.

Six inch, blued, half-lug GP100?

Yep

My dad’s original service revolver, now one of my bear guns. You can see the Indiana State Police insignia on the second picture.

Revolvers do add an element of skill to hunting and shooting…

If you ever get the 4" and want rid of the 5.5" lemme know. I miss mine.

Bookmarking this or my mind will forget it. It’ll happen some day just not sure how soon.

Here’s a couple that I bought and sold. The SP101 was my first pistol but the ergonomics sucked for my large hands. Basically had to have my finger half way through the trigger guard. Carried it daily for a couple years before I got a better carry gun. Shot literally thousands of rounds through that little .357 and really only shot it double action. When I got rid of it I knew I couldn’t be without a .357 in my life so
I bought the GP100. It’s fits me perfectly.

My first foray into .44mag was a Ruger SBH. Again, too long for my preferences but it got me into the .44 mag. Sold that one and bought the Redhawk that I’d dreamed of owning as a teen.

S&W 586 4" that I called my Poor man's Python...Gave it to a damn good friend who lost all his weaponry in a flood in Wimberly, TX. Nice pistolas...

This K19 (pictured upstream) is my best shooter thanks to Ben Lamb's wrenching tutelage.

6” 629 Just incase a grizz wants to shake hands. Anyone got any good replacement grip recommendations? Rubbers are nice but doesn’t make her look very “classy”.

You people are a terrible influence when I have access to unlimited overtime. Especially @noharleyyet and his S&W collection.

I like it. It made me feel the sudden urge to grow a Tom Selleck mustache.

...don't forget the skimpy gym shorts & a shoulder rig...

When we transitioned from S&W 686 .357 Mag. to Glock 23 .40’s, it was tough for some of the older officers. The guys who had bad experiences in Viet Nam with the newfangled M-16 were especially against the change. I still have both.

Noir 686+ for when 6 ain't enough...

Whoa, I think I need some of those grips for my 686! Who makes them?

 

[Caseknife]

My better half’s 3” Model 60. Love this little revolver.

Identical to one I have with the exception of the grips, I have Hogues and also sent it to Magnaport many years ago, sweet guns.
