5.5” Blackhawk 45 Colt/.45 Auto
6.5” Blackhawk 41 Mag
4” GP100 .357 Mag
4” GP100 .327 Federal
3” SP101 .327 Federal
4” RG 30 .32 S&W Long
1 5/8” NAA Mini .22lr/.22 Mag
6” S&W 617 .22 lr

I’m partial to Rugers.

The RG 30 is a fun little gun, despite their reputation. I bought it for a dollar off of one of my brothers, but only had $0.50 on me at the time, so I actually had to make payments on that thing.
 
I use it as my "snake gun". It's loaded with 22LR shot shells. I've shot it a bit with regular 22LR and it's a fine shooter for what it is. I've only used it for one rattler so far.

Just FYI, my cost was the same for the RR and the Wrangler revolvers and I think the Wrangler is a better pistol.

Pulled the trigger so to speak on a Heritage with a 6 inch barrel last week, waiting for PSA to ship,
 
I purchased the 686 NIB in '81 for $259. The H&R was left to me from my Grandmother.

I had a Smith Model close to that one but I cannot remember the model number. It was a nickel 357 with a half shroud and a medium grip on a full size frame. I wish I could find another.

S&W 586, mebbe....
 
I will play. First is a I think '70 S&W model 19-3

And I have no clue on this one. The short bit of research I did made it sound like it came out of France/Belgium around the turn of the century. I think it is a .22 short, there was an ancient box of it found in the same bag.

I bought this Ruger New Model Single-Six Convertible, with the .22 WMR cylinder included, in 2003 on its 50th anniversary. Dad had one of the originals and we grew up plinking pocket gophers with it. I don't shoot it enough. It's a little jewel and just operates like a finely built machine.

I can’t believe how accurate it is. It’s kinda crazy
yea mine is more accurate than I am for sure.. lol

Let a buddy shoot it a few times and every time we talk about guns he tries to buy it off me.

I inherited a top break H&R 22lr 9 shot (999 model?) from the 30s, per the serial. I pretty much had to beat it apart because of how rusted and disgusting it was. I used CLR to strip everything down to the white and browned it. It had been sitting in a not so dry place for the past, like, 20+ years or more and it had nasty pitting on the outside but the bore looked nice.

I ended up putting it back together and it works really well for being old clunky H&R iron haha. Not a show piece by any means, but it is a fun plinker to take out and not care too much about.

Yeah, the 999. I think mine is from the '70's, nothing vintage to be sure. Did the triggers just get worse later on or were they ALWAYS crap... :))
I swear mine has a 50 lb pull in SINGLE action. :laughing:

It is hefty for sure haha. It was a major PITA to get the hammer spring in place on reassembly.
