I apologize, I hope this is were this belongs. I've been told to post my pics, however it seems I need to invest in a camera... I had them out the other day and snapped a shot with my phone. Just relized I'm missing the 44 Mag.

Anyways from bottom left going up, 357 Mag SS., 357 Mag Blue (PP), 41 Mag SS HV.

Bottom right goin up, 22 SS, 22 Blue, 445 Super Mag. SS.

Almost added a 1911 45 Pointmen series, however got jerked around at a local gun shop. Deal went south.

Hope this worked.cool

You did it right this time. That looks like a nice collection. Feel free to bombard us with pictures of each individual gun and it's history. The stories are as good as the pictures sometimes.

 

Oh, and welcome!

Congrats on the nickel 15, that's really cool! I wouldn't have walked away on that deal either.smile 

BTW, it's wearing High Standard grips, not that it's a big deal. Thought you might like to know.

Thanks Charger,

I was most pleased when it arrived finally...dwas

 

You mentioned High Standard grips, is this a good thing?, what other types are there for this? Forgive me as I am not used to the Pork Chop models as I am the others. In fact this is the first one that I have purchased in this style. I've been doing a little research when I can, therefore still learning.

From the homework I have done, I'm under the impression that this was from the mid to late 70's?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Pardon me, I take that back. Looking at the larger version of your photo, I see that it's a factory DW grip. Make sure not to rub the grip medallion too much, the chrome coating tends to come off fairly easily. Most medallions like that I see have had the coating rubbed off.

As far as a date, I'm fairly certain yours should have been made in the '72-'73 area, +/- a few months. Congrats again on landing that one, it's a real beauty!drool

Thanks Charger,

I'm thinking about making it the "Safe Queen" for now, however I must admit, every time I open the safe I hear the same sound that happens when the "Gates of Heavin" open, and it's extremely tempting. We will see. I'll keep the advice on the medallions in mind.occasion

That is a very nice collection, but you are missing a few more.

 

.22 Mag

.32 Mag

.32-20

.45 Colt

.357 SM

.375 SM

.414 SM

And of course, all the semi-autos. Then there the blue or stainless versions of the ones you don't have, then all the different barrel lengths and shroud styles...

 

It's a never ending disease. poke

IHMSA80x80,

You would be a cool sponsor for DWAS...cool

Yes, I realize I have some catching up to do, However I have to put the disease on hold till after the 1st of the year, the wifewife is getting a lil suspicious after hearing the safe door open and close lately. However after the holidays hopefully she'll be happy and then it's game on. I'm sure I can look to your influence to nudge me in the right directionpoke?

PSMSG2, wow, just took a look at your SS DW in .41 mag...I must have .41 and/or .44 mag. A very favorite cartridge has alway been .41 mag, I shot my old S&W mod. 57 6"+ barrel, it was the revolver that got me started re-loading and shooting metallic Silhouette in the 70's, it was a beauty at knocking down rams at 200 yards...so I'd that piece off your is a real shooter. I'm just getting started with the Forum...very fine outfit. I do finally have a photo loaded of my Lil' ol pistol pak, I'm sure you'll see it...and some other goodies !

 Very collection of great revolvers.

Thanks HR,

The 41 mag I rescued from a pawn shop it's a blast to shoot! I'm actually looking for a few more BA's for it. I have the case, it just needs completed. Ammo in my region can be a little challenging at times, however I grab it when I see it.
