    Nothing special, a 1967 made square butt Model 10-5, 2" barrel. Locks up like a bank vault. Finish is damn near perfect save for one or two blemishes. Case hardened trigger and hammer coloration is still strong, the thing almost looks new.

    Probably should have wiped it down more before snapping those shots though.

    If it's nothing special, I can make it special. I can send you an address where it will be quite special. Very nice condition.

    Don't ask him that. He doesn't have the best of luck actually shooting them.

    Lol that was just with two Springfield armory 1911s that even they couldn't get running and a shitty condition model 66-2 that I picked up for what I thought was a decent price (the store actually let me return it for credit)... maybe some more I'm forgetting along the lines haha

    Oh yeah, a brand new SW 586-8 that spat lead on my left cheek and made me bleed even after I sent it back to SW to have it fixed, a used gen 3 glock 19 that flung brass at my eyes, two AKs that i built that had out of spec US made barrels, and an underfolder yugo AK that had a latch to remove the lower handguard broken and unable to move. But the second underfolder AK works fine

    Lol there are still more I'm forgetting, like the out of spec Daniel Defense AR I had which they gave me the runaround with for a bit.

    Anyway, back to wheel guns. Here's the 586 that made me bleed. SW warranty reblued it for me after I noticed some imperfections that shouldn't have been there since I bought the gun new. It came back so much better, blue so deep it looked like you could swim in it, that I almost regret selling it.

    Video I took of its shine. Watch it in 1080.

    That is very nice.

    Nice to see a real wheel gun in here every once in a while. Double action, adjustable sights with orange insert front, full under lug, and not some kind of shiny silver.

    A man's revolver. Cudos sir.

    You may notice some similarities to my manly revolver.

    GP100? Nice! I had a shiny silver redhawk hunter in 44 mag back in the day, our resident navy seal police officer radio operator sold it to me for a damn good price. They can take a hell of a beating.

    Yes, 6". I traded one off years ago, found a 4" for a good deal, then found this 6", and traded the 4" off.

    All great guns.

    I also had a 6" stainless Blackhawk that I hated.

    I have also owned one of their Satin Stainless Super Redhawks in 454 Casull. I liked that gun but got bored with it too.

    "Single Six"? :facepalm:

    Bought my SP .357 new in 1993. Nice little gun. Wish Ruger would make a 3" six-shot version in .327 with fixed sights.
