Next episode of the 2020 confinement pictorials, the S&W revolvers, a world famous brand with a huge following. Mine mostly fall into the 80s-90s period.
I am not a fan of the internal lock, both aesthetically and morally. I think a responsible adult gun owner should not be imposed such a device. Therefore I sadly haven’t bought a new S&W in a long time, but thankfully quality second hand examples are plentiful here in Switzerland.
And yes, I like combat grips. I’ve read some people hate them and think they’re an aberration. They fit my hands perfectly, are very comfortable and I love the look and the Goncalo Alves wood. I find the flaring at the bottom of the target grips make it unnecessarily wide for the little finger, despite having large hands. This also creates a tendency for the gun to rotate upwards in the hand when shooting, especially with heavy loads.
First and oldest one is not exactly a revolver, but close
1922 - Perfected Target Pistol (3rd model single shot)
1943 - Victory
1974-75 - 29-2
1982-86 - 27-2
