What is your dream revolver?

Drop dead gorgeous

Tomrkba: That is as fine a looking handgun as ever was.

My dream gun is Model 15 S&W as well.
I get to borrow my buddy's 4" all the time and am tempted to make an offer to him. 'Cept it was a gift from his father-in-law. So, I kinda know what the answer will be.
 
These days, about all Im "really" looking for, is a basic 4" Model 25 in .45 Colt.

Then again, other things always seem to keep popping up, and I cant resist.
 
327 Federal Magnum in a 4" Ruger SP101, a six shooter in this caliber. I have already ordered and paid for the new Single Seven, opting for the 5.5". The SP101 is a better carry platform for me, although I may get more proficient with handling and loading the SA. I already own the 3+" SP101 in 327 Federal Magnum.
 
Model 27's are some of the finest guns I own...and I especially like my model 27-2 in a 4" Nickel finish ...( I shoot it a lot ..! )...

But I also became infatuated with single action revolvers...and a couple of years ago, I ordered a Freedom Arms single action, 5 shot, model 83 large frame, 4 3/4" Octagonal barrel..premier grade with a action job specing the trigger at 3.25 lbs....in .357 Mag....

The two of them....are 2 of the top 5 guns in my safe ...and every time I touch them ...or shoot them, I really enjoy them !
 
Mine still is in the dream phase--not yet in production. A Dan Wesson in 327 magnum. DW stated that may be a future offering. Until then, I can only dream...........:)
 
I want a Smith & Wesson - heavy barrel, full under-lugged K-frame (think 686 that got washed in hot water :D), six-shot, 3" bbl. Can be a 38 or 357 - either way.
 
I've wanted a S&W model 29 with 6" barrel for quite some time, although it's quite low on the "get someday" list of mine.
 
Howdy

For years my Holy Grail gun was a S&W Triple Lock in 44 Special. Last year I got lucky and got my hands on two of them.

This relatively rare 7 1/2" Target Model was made the first year of production, 1908.

This nickel plated Triple Lock was made in 1915. The finish is a bit worn, but I was very glad to find it and be able to afford it.

I also found this 1st Model Schofield, made in 1875, last year. Yes, it has been refinished, but I don't mind, that helped make it affordable.

In the Colt department I found this terrific New Service, chambered for 45 Colt, made in 1906.

And this really nice old Bisley Model SAA, chambered for 38-40 and made in 1909.

Last year was a great year for adding to my collection. To tell you the truth, now that I have the Triple Locks, I'm not lusting after anything. I suppose I will wander into a shop one of these days and find something that I just can't live without, but nothing specific comes to mind right now.
 
Smith & Wesson.

I was weened on the revolver. Back in the day auto pistols weren't all that popular.
It took me forever to get addicted to the 1911 & I have 6 of 'em now.
1st wheel gun was a Ruger Super Single Six when I was 16 & the only handgun I ever fired. Shot thousands of rounds from that revolver.
After I was disabled from police work and got a great job with a great paycheck I began collecting anything Smith & Wesson of the "modern" era, late 1950's to present.
Currently I have two M-15's, one M-19 4", two M-28's, 6 & 4", a 657 no dash, a 57 6", a 29 6", two 66's a 4 & 6" a M-14 made before Smith gave model numbers, two M 10's both 4" one pencil bbl. & an h-bar in box unfired, a M-25-5 4" in box slightly fired, a modern with lock M-60 3" in .357.
It's the only "lock" Smith I have, the Pro Series and it's a great gun.
All are in 95% or better condition. I have Rugers also, a GP 100 s.s. 4", Balckhawk .44 mag, Bisley B.H. .45 Colt & older Vaquero .45 Colt 5.5".
Have a bunch of pistols also but, alas that big buck job went away and it's darned tough finding any good Smith under $650 bucks.
Wish list is a M-27 3.5" blue, a M-17 6", and a Python.
The Python remains my out of reach dream gun but I'd be tickled silly to get a M-27.
Being retired now & on a fixed income it's not easy to justify $600 and better
on a nice clean Smith but I have a "gun account" that's getting close to
Python money but there are few for sale.
I love my rifles but in my heart I'm a handgun guy thru & thru.
Today at a friends shop I spied a M-17, 6" blue, no box, conditon was o.k, about 85/90% but the price was $675.00 had it been 95% I might have
bit on it but that's too much money for the condition of the piece.
 
Dream Revolver..454 Casull Python. Dream was a Python then a SRH 454 got them both. Put them together what a DREAM:eek::D
 
I would say next to a model 15 would be the classic model 10. I once had a pre-15 combat masterpiece production 1951. Like a fool I sold it. But I still have my Model 10-7 4 inch tapered barrel.
 
dream revolver

I cant believe no one has mentioned my dream revolver. The mateba 6 unica. The moment I I discovered these the price doubled (typical!) Italian, beautiful, unique and just plain cool. Yeha its overly complex, expensive, you cant get parts and it solves a problem that didnt exist but damn just look at it! Bad guys would jump infront of it just for the distinction of being shot with a unica! It should come with a bat signal and superhero costume.
 
I think I'm going to stick to a dream that is somewhat achievable.

I already have a revolver that I am extremely fond of: the Ruger RH 4.2" in .44Mag.

However, beyond that I would like to one day one a decent SA.

I could list FA, but that is not realistic as there is probably not even one in the country, so I'd nominate the Ruger Hunter Bisley in .44Mag.

Beyond that I've always had a penchant for the .454 SRH.

A modest dream.
