Any revolver guys out there?

[Wheaton Hills Sportsman]

One of the worse decisions I ever made was to not buy two Smith & Wesson revolvers, I forget the model, that had been issued to the Greenbelt Police department. The shop owner was only sort of kidding when he pointed out I could get two of them at that low price and he had holsters, too. I said, "nah" and bought an AMT Backup in .380 and a MAK-90 instead. I sold both of those for what I paid for them, and I did enjoy them, but I suspect if I bought the revolvers I would still have them. I have a Dan Wesson .44 mag, a Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casul, and two Ruger .357s, a Security Six and a GP-100, but two more .357s wouldn't be too many.

I have an old 9-shot 22 pistol from the 50s it looks kinda like what you're talking about, I don't think it has the wavy colors like you're thinking of though. DA pull is a pain, but SA is real nice.

I eye these on GB constantly but think I'm saving for a 6 inch GP or a snubby model 49. She looks awesome though!!! I love Colts ejection mechanism for some reason. S&W is much more practical but I love the colt style

Not a nice Colt or Smith.... But I did pick up a cherry M1895 Nagant the other day. Also grabbed up a National Arms .38 S&W but no pics yet.

Anyone know specifically why the Taurus M606 .357 is on the MD banned list?

It should be banned from the planet.

Mine has some finish issues on the other side, I cleaned it up the best I could, but it was only $300, so I'm happy with this one - it's a shooter grade. My first Colt revolver!

I just handled a Ruger LCR Plus in .38 Special +P. It is as light as my S&W Model 37, but it has a longer barrel and a full sized grip.

I have an lcr in .38+p. I love it.
What is an lcr Plus? Never heard of that model.

My mistake. I meant the Ruger LCRx (specifically, the model 5431).

I have a Rossi R97104. I am pleased with its performance. The grips are great, the rear sight is adjustable for elevation and windage, and the MSRP is around $450.

I had a Taurus mod 66 .357 7 shot for years, it was a great gun. I eventually sold it and bought a S&W 686 which was double the price but the Taurus was a great plinker for years. (You'd always wish it was the Smith tho)

OK, it's a Smith, which is a good way to go, but it's a K-frame, which is a bit less robust that the L- and N-frames. If you're going to put a lot of heavy magnum loads through it, there will be some problems down the road.

If you have time and patience you can sometimes get a great deal. By way of example, I once scored a S&W pre-model 27 with the 3.5" barrel; it had been re-blued - a very good job - and had to have a new hand fitted. The whole bill came in under 700, which is nothing less than robbery, and it will last another generation or two with no trouble at all.

I got this one for $500 https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=200654 . No problems with .357 loads in it. I got this .38 K-frame, too. https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=200196 The price tag tells what I paid for it.

Nice gets - I think I'll keep looking around, good finds are obviously out there if you're patient...
