Well, to be honest with you, I think the 5.5" 1917 is like THE revolver of all revolvers. OR a 4" K frame. (Victory) For service sized revolvers. However, when it comes to personal protection A 3" K frame and your creation here are pretty darn good when it comes to looks and from what I understand, utility. I don't really like the goofy 3.5" M-27 or was it a 28, that is so famous. That one that Patton supposedly wore. The underlug practically all the way makes it look wonky to me. So yeah, this thing you got here, that barrel length, it looks perfect and it looks like it would FEEL perfect too. Although having said that, I've never got to shoot a .45 revolver.    Anyways... How does she shoot? Like a beast. It shoots like a beast. Even too much for me. I do have a few revolvers (I am re-posting also my beloved model 10 in 38sp, which is very shootable as you know) and the bigger calibers are harder to handle for me. Especially with that kind of grip shape (many do change to more modern grips but that's when I don't like those revolvers anymore - to me it's gotta stay old time classics). I can definitely feel the recoil with that small of a handgrip you know. Not my thing, I am happy to have other .45ACP in semiauto that feel more manageable (my favorite of all times is my HK45C and HK45, for example). That being said, I just love desperately both this monster and the model 10! <a href="https://flic.kr/p/uS7jmT" target="_blank">https://farm1.staticflickr.com/372/18945046739_703e60f5c5_b.jpg</a>Smith &Wesson M&P10 by SoloDallas, on Flickr Reposting the 1917 in a different context, too. <a href="https://flic.kr/p/vJuScx" target="_blank">https://farm1.staticflickr.com/345/19515271109_3ac42c7ca1_b.jpg</a> More Indy by SoloDallas, on Flickr That is awesome! Thanks Ma'am! Posting these two one next to the other now. Not sure if the evident difference in size comes out. But there is.  |

I apologize if that came across like... well I'm guessing you already knew what a tyler t grip was. Sorry about that. They are gorgeous without them and I hear ya. I would love a Victory someday, or maybe even settle for an older M&P. I'm not sure I'd be man enough to shoot the 1917. LOL. Maybe someday I'll get to try one.
My grandpa was a sgt in WWII and died in france and more than likely he just had a Garand, or carbine. Or Thompson. And maybe a 1911. But who knows. I've not seen many pics of revolvers on 2nd ID guys, but I like to think it's possible. |

I even compared them on the S&W website and every single thing on them is exactly the same except the model designation. Why would they offer two guns that are exactly the same except the name? There's gotta be something different.

I wasnt intending on purchasing a revolver while looking for something else. But something caught my eye and had to touch it. Havent been interested in revolvers in over 30 years and putting my hands on it just to look gave me the bug to purchase. I ended buying a sw 686-6 plus talo in a 3 inch for $650 new in box. Staying away from shooting revolvers for so long i think back and wonder why. This just feels good in hand and shooting 357's and 38's was a fun change. Now i am looking at other revolvers to fill a collection i had no interest in for too long. Cant wait to get out and shot the 686 again ?. Now to figure out how to post an image of it to share.
