My First Revolver

Aaron, thanks for the response. What kind of holster is that. I love the look along with the wood grips.

I have to admit, I'm kinda surprised by all the awesome feedback. I bought the gun not knowing much about it other than I shot it well. Pretty excited to hear all these great things about it.
 
Hello armed librarian,,,

That is one I made for a lady friend of mine,,,
She inherited a nickel-plated S&W Model 15 Combat Masterpiece.

That particular holster is my rendition of a style called the Tom Threepersons holster,,,
Tom Threepersons "(1889—1969) was a Cherokee lawman. He is considered to have been one of the last of what were considered to be gunfighters of the Old West, although his career did not begin until the early 20th century. He invented the "Tom Threepersons holster."

Here is a link to a maker that does them right.

Happy shooting with your Model 67.

They are easy to clean up.

Does anyone have an input, advice, or anything else that a first time revolver owner might need to know? Care or maintenance that might be different from other gun styles, any particular style of grip or stance to consider, anything along those lines? Being new to this I want to make sure I cover my bases.

1) Cleaning is a pain in the butt.

2) Experiment with different grips. Find what works for you. Revolvers are very flexible in that regard, because they don't have to accommodate a magazine with a stack of ammo through the grip.

3) Grip high. You don't have to worry about slide bite, like you do with an autoloader. When you shoot, try to align the barrel with the bones of your forearm.

4) Practice double action fire. Don't get too used to single action.

5) Don't flick the cylinder closed. Just, don't. <Shudder>

One last thing. I paid $200 with 50 rounds of ammo....How did I do?

Very good. Will that to your heirs -- don't let it go.
 
I love Smith revolvers. I have a bunch of them. What I don't have, however - and want want want - is a 67. I think they're sweet.

And I have plenty of confidence in .38 +P rounds for defense - especially through a 4" barrel.
 
Patina on a stainless gun? It would be either soot or rust. Stainless is easy to keep clean and you can polish it to a near nickel shine with Mothers Mag Polish and an old t-shirt.

The M67 is a fantastic revolver, with excellent accuracy and a great trigger. My advice is to lay in a supply of 148gr wadcutter ammo, find some grips that fit your hand well, and enjoy regular practice with your awesome revolver.
