Man, what an incredible thread. Between that pristine S&W Registered Magnum on the first page, all the beautiful Linebaughs, and all the beautiful wheel guns in between, I'm just loving the chance to see this pistols.
My pistols are all heirlooms as I've yet to pick up any revolvers in recent years. This is my dad's 357 SA that I learned to shoot on. Nothing fancy or special, but lots of good memories.
This was my paternal grandfather's S&W 38 SPL. Interesting piece as it's barreled had definitely been replaced, for whatever reason. A Frankengun before there were Frankenguns!
And here's my wheelgun pride and joy: my great-grandfather's S&W 38-44HD, pristine with the original holster he used on the beat in Peoria, IL.
I'm trying to figure out which wheelgun I'll invest in. I want an S&W Performance Center gun that makes sense for IDPA. Still haven't found what I'm looking for...
