Thread: I am in Revolver heaven....

    I am in Revolver heaven....

    Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

    Just beautiful.

    I’ve wished for years for a Model 21 or 22 HB.

    OUTSTANDING Darryl!

    Side note; I knew by the title of your post that I'd better 'grab a towel' before clicking on that link...I wasn't wrong!

    Congrats.

    Magnificent gun and magnificent story. Personally, I wish the .41 and .44 swapped places in commercial success. But what a great TX wheelie.

    Wonderful story; beautiful sixgun!

    I have a special place in my heart for the Model 58. I bought my ex-SAPD 58 in ‘85, and used it as my duty sixgun (Houston PD, which does not issue duty handguns) until 1990, when its moving parts’ engagement surfaces started showing enough looseness to be a concern, so I switched to .45 auto-pistols and .357 revolving pistols. (Realistically, N-Frames are a bit too large for for my K/L-sized hands, unless I use tiny grips, which are not a best way to mitigate recoil, so that ended my practical use of big-bore N-Frames.)

    It’s funny Rex, you find lots of old .44 Mag Model 29’s that have had six rounds fired out of them and are like new. By the same token you also find a lot of shot out Model 58’s that were hard use cop guns with qualifications with full house .41 Magnum and then scooped up by shooters. My 58 was an SFPD gun that was bought by a California State game warden and hard chromed to use as a back county gun. He went to DEA and used it as a car gun. I bought it and also carried it is a car gun working plainclothes and as a back country gun. I shot it so much it was one of the few guns I actually shot completely out of time. When there is no light .41 special load for a gun that tends to be owned by shooters, the Model 58’s are the real deal.
