Any pic is better than no pic - I have a terrible time getting a good pic. Always a shadow or dark or too much flash. Good effort on your part - thanks.

Is this Seville new-to-you? Is it 44mag?

I watched one on GB just the other day get sold. One day I will have one. I have had two Conneticutt Abilenes and my pal just picked up a Riverhead, NY Abilene - what a difference in revolvers! The NY's are miles ahead of the Ct's - JMHO - actually all associated with the "safety". NY's have transfer bars like Rugers and Ct's have an anvil-link that 'sounds' chintzy as it's being cocked. My 44mag was unliked but the 45Colt was a naildriver.  My pal's NY Abilene is a 44mag and a good shooter, far better than my 44mag was.

I like it. What are the grips made of?
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.


Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.


In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

yep buffalo horn. and yep it is new to me. best i can tell it was built around 76 in new york and is like new. had i not changed my grip, i would have had a sub half inch 5 shot group at 35 yards. the other shot was used for chrony. 310 at 1208 as it was i had four go into two wholes for less than half an inch. i think it'll shoot.

I would have to agree, you've got a shooter there for sure - and a looker!!
