Model 10 Square to Round

Here are some photos of a model 10 I rounded. I got the gun for 250 out the door after some haggling and I decided that I had one too many square butt K Frames so this would become round. I used a pair of old stocks as a template and went for it!

Not pictured is the finish with some cold blue. It's held up OK but I need to keep it oiled well

Edit: thank you all for the kind words, I appreciate it!

Decision paralysis

Decided my next revolver will be a used SP101 in 357 with the 2.25 barrel. I just can’t decide between the blue finish with hammer spur or the stainless steel DAO. No price difference between the two.

I do plan on carrying it while walking the dogs in black bear country. Most likely IWB (which is why I’m thinking DAO but that blued is speaking to me).

Blasphemy?

This may be blasphemous, but I think I like the old school Charter Arms snubnoses better than S&W. I now own two CA Stratford-era snubbies, and I love their fit and feel better than any of the five Smithies I've owned. That's in no way casting shade in Smith & Wesson. The craftsmanship of their older guns is impeccable. But mercy, the old CA's are fun and well built.

Colt M1917

Got a Colt M1917 in .45 Auto, produced a month after the end of the Great War.

This one's cylinder bore is fully straight with no step, and a .45 ACP drops straight through.

Does anybody know when Colt introduced the stepped cylinder? I thought it was very early on after the first ~10,000 but this one is a post-WW1 (DEC 1918) serial. Cylinder's military serial number matches the rest of the parts.

WGW - My first handgun and my favorite revolver

Post image
31 Upvotes

I've had the Taurus Tracker for nearly 10 years. It was the first handgun I purchased. Underneath it is a Cimarron Thunderstorm. It is my favorite revolver. Insanely smooth, half stroke and mushroom hammer, all done up into a "race gun." Though I dont shoot SASS/CASS. But its an absolute blast to shoot.

I have a full sized Pietta in 45 Colt, now I need a Bird Head.

Upvotes

I recently purchased a 1873 Pietta 4 3/4" SAA in 45 Colt and I LOVE it!! So, now I need a second. Mine is CCH and walnut, so I wanna keep that same look. But I'm thinking birdhead. Just to mix things up. I can't have too many duplicates in my collection.

So, what flavor? I want it in 45 Colt. But made by whom? Give me some ideas, please.

Model 19 classic for carry?

Thinking about purchasing a model 19 classic but im concerned that it might be a bit too large if I were to use it for concealed carry. Does anyone here have experience carrying one?

How to fit this stag better?

I got these grips but the normal grip screw doesn’t fit with them and it is a bit too large. I got these for a great deal so I’m not fussed. Is it possible to get someone to shave it down a bit or make a new screw? can a normal gunsmith do it?

38spl K-Frame Forcing Cone Cracking?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I recently acquired a "new to me" S&W model 10-2 which was manufactured in 1961. It has plenty of holster wear (ex police gun) but is in excellent mechanical condition. Good lockup. Im in the process of some load development for it. My question is: Is forcing cone cracking anything I should be worried about with higher velocity 38 Specials? I.e 125gr around 1100 fps. Much appreciated reddit.

S&W 442 black finish vs. kydex holsters

3 Upvotes

Am I correct to assume long term use of a hardcase holster will wear the finish on my 442?

I prefer kydex holsters that allow the gun to snap in for carry, but I'm also vain and love the way my 442UC looks.
