In the 27 years I’ve been buying guns I have only ever owned one revolver up until about three weeks ago. I got the bug for a 44 magnum to maybe try and hunt with and picked up a Taurus Raging Hunter. While I was getting it I saw the Heritage 22s so I got one of them for my son. Then I got the bug for a “real” single action and bought a 5.5” Cimarron Model P. Then picked up a 4.75” Great Western II. I’m now looking at getting a 7 1/2” one. I’ve been playing around making grips for them also. The one with the medallion came on the Model P and I made the Walnut one and the one on the gun is Cedar.

If that Heritage doesn’t work out, the Ruger Wrangler is another option, you can get one for $179 around here. |

Have both the LR and WMR cylinders for mine, they're the older ones branded FIE. |

The handiness of the Ruger SP101 in 9x19mm is growing on me. The ability to make safe w/ two quick movements, and make ready just as quickly makes for a very handy house gun w/ lots of dryfire practice.
The DA trigger is still fucking awful, however. |

My latest revolver I picked up at a gun show last weekend. It is a Taurus 942 which is an 8-shot .22lr.
It makes my 32nd revolver overall, not counting Black Powder revolvers, and my 7th rimfire revolver. Attached File |

If I edited the post above it's more than likely because I suck at typing. If I didn't, I was either in too big of a hurry or just missed it.

After six years I finally got a grip screw for the OEM grips and added a BK Grips adapter. One of my "Biden Gun Control" concealed carry weapons... Ruger Speed Six in .357 Magnum. I helped my Mom pick this when she wanted a handgun for her & Dad to have after their farm shop was burgled while they were sleeping. Dad was disabled at that point in time hence my Mom wanting something handy for SD. Attached File
I inherited it when she died. It may not be my favorite handgun but is my most cherished handgun. And, yes, those are Black Talons in the speedloader. |
