Hey
aarond, in your picture of the Modern Dueling Pistols, you need to flip the lower box of CCI rimfire ammo around. It's messing up the otherwise stellar setup in that picture!
Myself, I do not own any twins. Never say never, but I would almost always trend toward something else, something different, etc etc.
However, I have one that doesn't exactly qualify, but it does somewhat follow the logic. As a high school graduation gift, my Grandfather gave me his Smith & Wesson revolver, a nickel plated, 6-inch barreled S&W Hand Ejector Military & Police, Model of 1905 4th Change. This is the standard .38 Special revolver that evolved in to the famous K-frame Victory Model and eventually, the Smith & Wesson Model 10. Back in the late 90s, I wrote to Roy Jinks to obtain a factory letter on it and I found that it was originally shipped in 1921.
I have shot it on many occasions but I don't wish to shoot it anymore. The factory nickel plating is still in very good condition, but it's far from 100% and handling, shooting, and perhaps mostly... CLEANING just aren't conducive to it's preservation.
So when I came across a very similar revolver at a gun show and it passed all the function checks I could muster, it simply HAD to come home with me. It's also a 6-inch barrel and nickel plated, same model, but the serial number of this one dates it a bit earlier, to 1917. It has far more exterior wear but it's functionally
wonderful, the cylinder timing is perfect and it is accurate and most enjoyable to shoot. And that's exactly why I bought it, because I can (and do!) shoot it to replicate the joy of shooting my family heirloom.
