N frame porn.

Couple of more.

28-2. I tried service grips, but they’re too wide at the bottom. So I went with these Pachs and carved away where they widen at the bottom.

A coarse emory board will clean up the carved area, then the finer grit side, then give it a little Armor All on the touched up spots.

I just worked on a couple pachmayrs, rounding off some of the squarish edges on the back and the seams where they protude.

One more.

Pre Model 27 5 screw from 1953 with proud pins. This one is wearing a pair of custom English Walnut short Roper style grips made by Curtis Harlow that fit my hand PERFECTLY.

That's really sexy.

In a JMCK AIWB holster. Maybe not great under a t-shirt, but it works under a medium-wight sweatshirt. (Paging @Tony Mayer )

Stephanie B, that pistol is not seated in the holster all the way. Check and make sure it's seating all the way, let me know if there's an issue and we'll get you squared away.

Just loaded up some more win mag cases for my 625.

I think I'll be back to revolvers for the winter to help me keep track of brass and I might just roll into next year and shoot it all season.

Holy crap, you’re right!



I had to back off the retaining screws quite a bit. Thanks for catching that.

I think we ordered around the same time and mine seats all the way fwiw

The two retaining screws were way too tight, I could not push the gun all the way down. But it was tight enough to hold it securely, so I thought that I was GTG. I backed the two screws off until I could push it in and draw it without ripping my belt off.

It just boggles my mind that I can conceal a 4" N-frame. Now I regret not buying that 4" Model 29 six years ago (though I'd be shooting it with Specials, only).

Super interesting N frame I won on GB.

This is a 520 that apparently was built outside of the original NYSP order and shipped in 1983. Roy Jinks in his letter that came with the gun says he believes this was built on a Model 58 frame which is corroborated by the overstrike of 520 being in a different font.

Not sure how many of these there are but it’s fun getting the boomers worked up on the blue forum over this, as no one apparently knows anything about them and only this one and one other has surfaced so far.

Looks very nice, like out of a time machine. Doing a brief google search on it, it appears to be essentially a fixed sight version of the Model 28? I have a thing for N Frame .357's, a Highway Patrolman has been on my list a long time.

I always wanted an N frame and finally found a nice Model 29. Fun to shoot full power 44 Magnums but I found it to be too stout for my shooting needs so I experimented with 44 shorts and settled on 44 Russian.

Great gun for Steel Challenge and ICORE matches. I eventually had it cut for full moon clips.
