After seeing all of the nice pieces here, I am almost embarrassed to post my meager "collection."  Well here goes:

Another picture of the Model 34 Kit Gun, as I didn't like my first picture at all:

Smith & Wesson Model 10-5, circa 1967.  (Ordered elk stag grips from Grashorn.  Pix later.)



And the Model 21 nickeled forty-four as inspired by "The Ballad of Frankie and Johnny."

Brian, I like your b&w photos. Very artistic. I bet you have done commercial work.

SharonAnne,

Thanks.  A long time back I did some product photography, but mostly fashion and editorial.  These days it's all a hobby done with traditional equipment and film, and, except for handguns, mostly involves pretty, underdressed young women.  I get published once in awhile in art or photo magazines and books, and earlier this year was the subject of a Canadian TV show.  Still, I only show the pictures that work.  Three really good environmental set-ups of that 10-5 went down the drain when I screwed up the rule-of-thumb exposures using a macro lens.  I should have bracketed, but was too lazy and over-confident.

S&W M37 (no dash) Airweight Chief in the original box with papers.  Along with the pith helmet issued to me at Marine Barracks Subic Bay back in 1975 or so (we also were issued the last of the USMC Bermuda shorts), and a Gerber Mk II - one of several of that model I carried from 1972 to 1982.

Here's mine. Smith Performance Center 629-6 and a Smith 629 Mountain Gun. I also have a J frame model 442 (DC vs Heller commemerative) .38 special for carry. After trying several Taurus revolvers I have settled on "nuthin but Smith's."

Flash,  It looks like you milled scallops in the recoil shields on the double action..   Tell me about that if I'm correct, please.

Sheeesh!  I just asked about a 3 year old post..........

One of them is a double action revolver.  Used these two for the Nevada CCW class last week.  The S&W 442 served to allow me to carry any revolver.  The auto will be listed on the permit by make, model and caliber.

629-1 with roundish butt, Sambar stag grips and bobbed hammer spur.  About fifteen years ago it killed the Mexican Red rattlesnake that eventually became the hat band.  Sorta overkill.

M24-3 Lew Horton .44 Special with bad replacement grips.  



M10-5, nickel, 6".  Elk stag grips are on it now, but no picture yet.

Edit:  Same revolvers.  The cocobolo grips aren't where I want them yet - more shaping to do behind the trigger guard and at the toe.

Slightly used, grossly underpriced, Model 60-15.  Spent the last week working up loads with the Hornady 180 grain JHP.  That "brushed stainless" finish is actually paint.  The grips work well for controlling the spank of that load.  In the spring it'll be with me when I start back-packing in cougar country.
