Thank you. I assumed it has the factory rubber grips on it. But if not, maybe you could let me know.

This is a really helpful thread. Now the ATF guy knows how much weight he has to carry when he comes for everyone's guns . . .

Well, my hope is revolvers will be the last to go. Really I'm hoping they won't go at all of course. Any of them. But we do know they've been bold enough to put capacity limits in the past.....

I'm kinda sure that your are partially joking but I grow tired of this general total paranoia concept.

Lets be honest, what knowledge about a 7.5" Ruger Super Blackhawk did the ATF gain herein that they couldn't get from the Ruger web site/spec sheets?

I looked over at smith and wesson forum and then googled it, but I'm calling it a Military and Police Model of 1905.......

Well, if a person is at all concerned about personal security, there are probably more negatives to posting photos of your guns on a public forum than there are positives. Oh, I do it, too. I have posted lots of photos of my guns on the Internet but somehow I draw the line at hauling out all my handguns and cataloging them for all to see. Even if the ATF doesn't take notice, the local break-in artists might . . . plus, I generally don't reveal all even to my gun buddies . . . Paranoia is probably the right word, though . . .

Actually, that's probably a good point. But I think if they're coming for them, they're coming for them. Regardless of where they're posted online. They will probably make you be a law breaker by holding any back that they don't know about.

Lets just hope it doesn't come to that for a long long time.

As far as this database goes. If someone makes a list of what they have weighed, there's nothing to stay they still have any or all of those guns. But I see your point.

Personal Security - I assure you, the home has security systems and every single firearm is securely locked in a proper gun safe when I am not home. I consider that to be both personal security and personal responsibility. I also try not to live in areas where I would consider myself to be in constant danger.

You post gun photos too - this pretty much invalidates your argument, you are as guilty as I am.

hauling out all my handguns - nope, did not do, not even saying that all of them are mine. Just posted photos of guns on a scale (yes, the scale is mine). Damn sure didn't haul out every pistol I own.

The ATF - yes, they keep an eye on forums like this, they are looking for self incrimination on the fun stuff. Really and truly, they don't care how many antique revolvers I own as long as I am not a felon or post messages about wanting to perform criminal acts with them. If the day comes for general confiscations, the class III stamp, my CCL and a long history of hunting licenses pretty much tells them that I have guns AND exactly where I live. In the big picture, a few pretty photos don't really matter.

I generally don't reveal all even to my gun buddies - neither do I, when I finally keel over, my heirs are gonna shit. My best friends and even family don't know what I got, it simply isn't any of their business.

Local break in artist - a simple break in is one thing, completely demo-ing walls and bringing in a fork truck to rip out the safe is a whole different thing. I do not keep guns in the attic or under the mattress. Hanging them over the fireplace for all to see is flat out.

Try to relax man, the whole world isn't out to get you.

Uberti and Pietta both make revolvers for Cimarron, and they're definitely not identical, same with Taylor, I believe. You might want do it something like- Cimarron (Uberti) and Cimarron (Pietta).

Do you have both of those? Me too

I picked up both of them in the last 6 weeks. Both NIB nickel guns.

Posted: 3/7/2019 12:44:53 PM EDT

I had an opportunity to buy both...the 21 at a heavy discount and the 22 at a fair price...I went with the fourty-five.

My coworkers at the time poked fun at me for owning a shiny "pimp" gun. Screw 'em. I carry it on occasion with those grips...it is surprisingly comfortable and relatively easy to hide in a pancake holster.

It's no safe queen. I run it hard from time to time.

I remember seeing that video a while back. Thanks for posting again!!! I started doing my reloads the same way you just did. Although I tip my gun up vertically more. Up for the extraction and down for the reload.

That is a beautiful gun. It's funny how it's 2 ounces lighter than my 6" model 19 and probably balances a heck of a lot better.

I love the idea of a .44 special but dang is factory ammo expensive. And .45 is not cheap either. .38 is a stretch as it is. LOL. Except I have about 600 rounds of .45 acp just sitting there. Makes me want a 22 or 1917.

There are a few ways to identify the 21 vs 22. The 22 (45 ACP) has a square butt, extra screw at the top of the sideplate, and the cylinder is shorter, leaving a gap between the cylinder and the front of the frame.

The 21 is a round butt, no upper sideplate screw, and a full length cylinder.

See my pics a few posts up.

I thought the 21 might be a round butt, but I wasn't sure if the one he was referring to was or not.

The 21-4 was a 4" nickel round butt. I was only going to have one, so it was the 45ACP...and I had recently discovered the polymer EZ moon clip at the time which is 100x easier to deal with for practice use than steel clips.

But, yeah, that gun is perfect whether for shooting or carry use. My only complaint is that extraction gets sticky after about a hundred rounds or so of rapid fire.

I don't carry it all that often only to preserve the finish.

The Taurus is all original as far as I know.

I purchased it new but did have to send it back under warranty for occasional failure to fire issues.

It's been a long time and I don't remember for sure what they did to fix it but I don't think it involved replacing the thumb piece.

Both of the S&Ws belonged to family members that purchased them for self defense way back in the day.
