post a picture of your favorite revolver

My grandfather bought this revolver when he immigrated from Sweden to the Alaskan Gold rush. I has been in the family for ~ 110 years. It is not all original. One of my guitar strings is now the trigger spring.

His 1906 Oldsmobile truck did not last as long.
 
I heard my grandfather used his 30-30 to shoot mountain goats and sell them to the tavern, because he only found a couple thousand dollars in Gold.

There were bank robbers and my grandfather brought them to justice and got his name in the paper.

Then a couple years ago I inherited a newspaper ~~ 1909 Yukon Gazette~~ that said the whole town was deputized and August Magnuson, who worked in the Johnson slushbox, found one of the bags of Gold.

It is amazing how a story can grow in 100 years.
 
I'll add a couple more.

1968 Smith & Wesson Model 58, 41 Magnum. Bonded ivory stocks.





The next one, I just picked this one up a few days ago. It was dull and felt...rought isn't quite the word, but not smooth to the touch. A couple of rounds with Flitz, then some automobile wax, dug around in a junk box and found a BK adapter and it's not too bad. Surface is as smooth as a baby's bottom now.

Taurus 82, from I'm not sure when, but the Taurus webpage doesn't list it. I'm guessing early 80's or so. I had one like it back then and it was a good shooter with the reloaded wadcutters I bought back then.





This one is too with my 125 gr JFP reloads.
 
Since the OP wants only a single favorite, I would have to go with my first quality revolver I purchased, my Model 27. I don't shoot it a lot anymore, and use different grips when I do. but it would be the last I would part with.

 
Made this myself. Cut it down from a 4" barrel, square butt, police trade in.

Smith & Wesson model 64-3.

When I originally got this S&W 28-2, it was a pawn shop special, with a bad barrel, a huge cylinder gap, and more holster wear than blueing. The frame and trigger were mechanically perfect, so I bought it for a project. It sat in my gunvault for about three years, until Wild West Guns openned shop in Vegas. I first talked with Jim West about doing the work, then with their local lead gunsmith, Tim. It has a 12" barrel, Jack Weigand front sight and Black Nitride coating. The engraving on the barrel states, "The right to bear arms shall not be infringed."
