You know, I've shot a lot of guns over the years, but nothing really compares to a revolver to me. There's just something about them. They're beautiful, they're accurate, and they're special. The crisp, almost hair trigger when shot as a single action. The authoritative click of the hammer when you pull it back. The astonishing amount of power they can handle. It all adds together to create what I would consider a work of art. They have a life and a character all their own. Something modern cookie cutter polymer semi autos will never have. They're all more or less the same to me. I still like them, and enjoy shooting them, but at the end of the day my revolvers will be the guns I never sell.
Smiths are my favorites, but Ruger can't be beat for a rugged carry or backwoods gun. I even have an old Colt Army Special circa 1917 that still works beautifully. It had a hard life as a carry gun, but I was able to bring it back and make it a shooter. It saddens me that Colt doesn't make affordable revolvers like that anymore.
Here's my 3" Ruger SP101 .357 mag and my 6" S&W 629 .44 mag. I need to add a .41 mag to the mix to complete the Keith holy trio of magnums.
