Sixguns

 These are made very well and the action and hammer firing pin is correct as oringial Colts. Mine shoots point of aim 

Hello folks,

I just joined and will be posting information about some of my interesting Colts.  I love guns with stories.

I'll be experimenting to see how everything works on this forum.

Here's one of my guns that I'll be showing soon.  Its a 2nd gen Sheriffs Model - Factory Engraved by Colt Master Engraver Howard Dove.

It has been a while since I posted in here. I just made another trip to the range today to shoot the ole Six Shooter. I only shot at 4 yards but it was fun. I made some videos, nothing spectacular but the old Six did it's job. I used several different bullets and powders but at 7 yards, they all hit the spot.
A little blog post on my website

A few years ago I had a 6 inch old model 357 Ruger Blackhawk converted, by Gallager, to a 4 5/8 inch 44 Special.  I am considering selling the piece but have no idea what price I should ask.  Any suggestion?  BTW - I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this post.

Hi
I have had a 629-5 Mountain Gun in 44 Mag for a long time.   I got it as a gift for completing Graduate School.  I know the barrel is different than others but what  other changes did S&W make to these? It is a great packing gun that is for sure.

I am looking at a Great Western..Barrel marked 357 Atomic...4 3/4" barrel length ..gun is NRA very Good...I know these are rare..Any Great Western collectors that can give me a High and a Low on the value of this revolver?

Hello,
I have a hardback copy of Single Action Sixguns and I have done other research but I am left with a question I need answered if anyone has the historical material to answer it.
What was the original name for S&W's Model 3 American? Did they even call it the Model 3 at the time? I am doubting they originally called it the American either because that distinction would only be necessary once they produced the Russian.

Just back from the shoot, brought back a new gun with me, first new gun in way to long a time. 
50th anniversary Ruger Flattop 44 Mag 
It spent some time in Tennessee hanging around Hamilton Bowen's shop getting action work and sights, looks like they turned the barrel in a bit and set the gap because now the warning label is on the bottom and under the ejector. Of course a Bowen fitted Belt Mountain Base Pin as well.
