Cooler weather means more opportunities to conceal larger revolvers. Carried this 3" Smith & Wesson Model 13 this evening.

Here it is with a twin.

This is one of my favorite revolvers. It is a 1977 Colt Police Positive in .38 Special. Colt made these with a heavy barrel between 1977-78 only. It's basically a 4" Detective Special...and has a trigger as good as any well-used Detective Special. The aluminum framed version is the '"Viper."

Your Model 65 is set-up exactly like my old duty revolver way back...I love the old Craig Spegel designed, Uncle Mikes/Butler Creek Square Butt Boot grips. I never felt at a disadvantage with the 65!!

I've always thought those grips would be absolutely perfect on a 2" M15, like this one:

The 1978-79 Highway Patrol showed up at my house today...Just picked this up from Tar Heel State Firearms. Model 28-2 Highway Patrolman. Bluing 97-98%. Not sure what happened to the grips. These presentation stocks are certainly not original. Very nice trigger pull.

Nice! That 642-1 will serve you well. I see yours is +P rated as most of them are.

I've got a 642-1 I bought NIB 20 years ago. The ones from that time period were not +P rated.

No +P markings on it anywhere.

View attachment 29525 Mid 70's vintage Charter Arms Bulldog. She might not be the belle of the ball, but she gets it done!

I DIG IT. Those old school Charter Bulldogs are an often overlooked gem. Plus, that revolver has character. I'd much rather look at that than a shiny new one. That said, there was a shiny new looking one at Carolina Sporting Arms for a long time...somebody finally bought it so that I didn't have to.

Just bought a 642-1, no lock! It is supposedly an unissued police trade in. The guy behind the counter didn't know which department.

It's basically new in box. I have no complaints for how much I paid.

I think you'll find that the 642-1 is a damned fine every day carry. They are super concealable, reliable, and the "-1" finish holds up better than more current production. I note that the grips look to be more current (last couple years) rubber. The 642-1 probably shipped with Uncle Mike's boot grips.

Thanks! We found this little beauty in a shoebox under dad's desk a couple of months after he passed. Never knew he even had it. Out of everything he left me, this might be my favorite. It's trigger was definitely loved on by a competent smith as it has a da pull that puts my custom shop sigs to shame...and they're incredible.

That conforms it....awesome revolver. I don't own any revolvers with that sort of family history. Very cool.

I believe Smith is currently making both 642-1 and 642-2s on the same line since 2011. The -1 designates No Lock, where the -2 have the ILS.

Aaaaah. Okay. Interesting, since the lock was not the only difference between the two, Makes sense though.

I think this is a newer production -1. If I'm reading the box correctly, it shipped may of 2017. Hopefully the finish still holds up.

I do find it odd that a police department purchased and then turned them over that fast. Maybe they went with a sub-compact auto instead.
 
1971 Smith & Wesson 19-3, 4" barrel. It's not a new gun. Just a new grip set-up. Jay Scott grips and a Tyler T. Was inspired by a thread on the S&W Forum about an old FBI agent's gun. It was a 4" 19 with wood Magnas and a Tyler. Looked sharp and makes it more concealable.

So as far as revolvers go I generally stick to Smith, Colt and Ruger....
Pickup up this Yankee gun, it's built like a tank, fit/finish superb, out of the box trigger very good, we will see how these work out long term but I think it compares favorably and I dare say exceeds currrent Smith custom shop products
And oh yeah crimson trace makes some fine laserless grips, whoda thunk?

Just posted these on another forum. So, figured that I would drop them here as well. A pair of 19-4 with 2.5" barrel. One of these usually wears something other than factory combats for hiking / carry.

You will love it. I've posted several times about how well Kimber executed this revolver. It carries well and shoots laser beams right to point of aim. Solid construction. In fact, I just ordered another holster from TT Gunleather for the K6, yesterday. Bought the slim Mike's Special (TT Gunleather). The Kimber will fit many Colt D frame (Derective Special) holsters. The two are dimensionally very similar except, for the Kimber's longer more oval trigger guard.

Yes please
 
Bianchi Lightning grips on a Smith & Wesson Model 10-5. These grips shroud the hammer as if it were a "bodyguard" model. Unfortunately, they also make the gun weigh 15 pounds. Interesting piece of revolver history but, in my view, impractical. The J frame grips are a bit lighter.

This is what's sitting next to the bed tonight.

Rescued a 1968 Smith & Wesson Model 10-5 from a pawn shop today. It shows honest bluing wear. The spots if paint on the front and rear sights, Tyler T and stags tell me that this revolver rode along with somebody for years. It's not a safe queen. Has lots of character and a nice trigger pull. Have not popped off the stags to ID the maker but very good fit and finish. More pics to follow.
