Wheel Gun Show-N-Tell

S&W Model 66-1

Picked this up this morning at Indy Trading Post. Ever since I traded my 6" Model 66-4 I've been wanting another one, and now I've kind of grown partial to snubbies for ease of carry. Actually, Doggy Mama thinks this is her gun...

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Here is some 1969 S&W blue, in the form of a 29-2.

Man that thing is gorgeous...

Thanks for the comments S&W has been my soft spot for the last 20 years.

Doggie Daddy that is a very nice lookin 66, the tyler T is just classic!

Here is my favorite S&W Pre 29 from 1957.

That's another beauty too!
I had never heard of nor seen the Tyler T until this gun. I like it! I thought I would need to go with a Hogue to make it comfortable to shoot .357 loads, but the Tyler really does the job, and I do like the look of it.

Used to own a Ruger sp101.
I really like the New LCR .22 Magnum

My latest, a brand new Smith & Wesson M48-7. Do not look directly into the new or it will hurt your eyes.

I can post some really old ones for balance.

 

[RustyHornet]

ShrinkMJ I envy you!!! Those are my 2 favorite revolvers!

I would be interested to see how many other snubby owners there are here. Here is my S&W 642. I have speed strips instead of Speed loaders now.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the benefit of speed strips over speed loaders?

I've been doing alot of research lately, and I'm going to. purchase my first handgun on Wednesday. I noticed in the photo of your weapon, that it doesn't have a hammer. From my research, I believe that means it's only capable of double action firing (please correct me if I'm wrong). Are there any benefits of strictly double action? Does that make maintenance more difficult?

Picked this beauty up from Snorko over the weekend. S&W Model 19-2. From looking at dating info on the web, it appears it may be from 1967 (I could be wrong).

Model 66-1 4"

Had the snubby... picked up this 4" at Indy Trading Post today. Now I just have to find a 6" to complete the set!

I kept ogling that gun in the classifieds... good thing Snorko is so far away from me, or I might have beaten you to it! Congrats! She's a beauty...

Speed loaders are for loading the ammo. Speed strips hold the ammo while loading and unloading. With practice strips are faster to unload & load. the pistol has to be made to accept the strips.

This little beauty followed me home from the LGS this afternoon. S & W 640-3 2-1/8. My third revolver now. Total impulse buy. I seldom do that, yeah right. Like you are going to buy that.

Are you thinking of Moon Clips?

Speed Strips are straight strips that hold the cartridges for reloading.

You are correct! X gets the square. My bad. Thanks for catching that.
