My newest wheel gun

[Vile Shadow]

Classic look. Absolutely beautiful. There's just something about a wheel gun with that look.

Now, if only S&W would build one with a VR barrel.

I've been thinking about getting a wheel gun...a new 686 or 627 is just too expensive, but those Rugers are price just right.

Another option, but can't comment on quality ...

For $200 more, a Ruger ...

And the 686, as you know, is a $100 more than the Ruger.

Eh, SP101 felt too small in my hand. Not looking for a snubbie either.

That would be sweeeeet!

Nice grips. I have the same ones on my blued S&W. Those grips are rare and worth some serious $$$.

Are they really? I have a pristine set that's been tucked away since 1986, unused.

I'm not sure if they're original S&W grips or not. The last guy who owned it had them covered in shiny shellac or something. To make matters worse, the shellac was applied to the grips without removing them for the revolver! It took me a good half hour to remove the stuff from the frame using mineral spirits. Then I used some 000 steel wool to get the shine off of the grips.

The standard stocks on a model 67 would have been magnas.

Love it.

Stay away from the Taurus. For a new wheelgun SW or Ruger is the only way to go (Ruger GP100 is my preference).
And that is a very good looking Smith & Wesson 67-1
