View Quote This image is just amazing on so many different levels. A show stopper. Partially is for the model 10 (my personal favourite of the entire S&W history) but then, the framing and contents of the image. Lightning. Et cetera. Superb. |

Used to own a few S&Ws when in Italy, where this image was taken; when I moved "back" to the US a year ago, had to sell everything there (gun related) and I am repurchasing here. Had no Model 10. Now, I do. Older image (my "new to me" model 10 one is incoming): Old Tools by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

This one is really one of my most intimate dreams.
Indiana Jones' true twin sister Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector in .45ACP. I found it at a local pawn shop for relatively cheap, the barrel had been cut down to about 4 inches already years ago (just like the movie ones).

It looks more like 3.5" but it might be the N frame making it look that way to me. IDK.
That thing is downright gorgeous though. Regardless of if it's an Indiana Jones gun or not. |

Regardless of if it's an Indiana Jones gun or not. View Quote You're correct on both accounts: 3 and 5/8 inches to be exact (good eye). And I kinda even like it more with that length! But it's just that it's gorgeous. And I confess I like them HEs more with shorter barrels around the 4 inches than the longer, standard barrels of yesteryear! |

Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if the exact length of the cut had been calculated just for that. |

I believe all the 1917s had the side markings close to the frame, hence them not looking out of place on a chop job. On the top and bottom of the barrel your gonna lose markings though. |

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? |

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! Reposting the 1917 in a different context, too. More Indy by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

I just found an older image of another 1917 I own - this one is in Italy (where I used to live).
It has that longer barrel. I truly prefer the shorter, cut barrel one I have now. 1917 HE in .455 by SoloDallas, on Flickr |

There's gotta be something different. The difference is that the TRR8 bottom rail is detacheable, the cutout for the ejector rod goes all the way through, and the front sight bead is gold, instead of the white dot on the R8. I have the R8 as well, awesome gun. |
