    You’re out in the Indian Nation after the Ned Pepper gang, shells for your Peacemaker are hard to come by so you practice on corn dodgers with the pair of Navy 6’s in your saddle bags. Or in your case Good Cheer, Navy 40’s.

    My wife and I favor the .38 Special for outdoors and housekeeping.
    Hers the M67 with the big grips for her slender hands, mine the M15 with the small grips for my primate hands. Go figure.
    We both have .22 revolvers. We need more revolvers. Perhaps matching .41 Magnums or .44 Specials.

    Even the ammo is better. Semi auto ammo is constrained by what feeds. In a revolver, a bullet can be pretty much anything you can imagine. Cast of 20-1, they are art.

    The only reason I have 2/ea Keltec K3AT's in .380ACP, is that I find it hard to carry a 329PD in .44 mag concealed in the summertime when my
    "uniform" consists of swimming trunks and a tee shirt!
    It's all chicken, even the beak!

    Give me a little and I’ll show my Clements custom 3 screw BH in 41 Mag.

    Clements Custom OMBH in 41 Mag
    CCH by turnbull
    Semi gloss polish and reblue
    BP Chamfer
    Bowen Rough Country Rear sight with double gold bars front sight
    Grip shaped more to a #5 grip with hand made AAA Walnut stocks fitted to gun.
    Other typical Clements stuff such as action work.

    My favorite custom. Waiting on him to rework another but he’s back logged 6+ months right now as he slows down and readies for retirement in the next few years.

    The reddish brass color is due to my GA Bulldogs shirt reflection. Go Dawgs!

    I love wheelguns. Posting obligatory revolver porn:

    Here's some GP100s, top is a Clements 41 special, then Lipseys 44special, and an early 357. The 357 and 44 have swapped grips since the picture.

    Well,

    I had three 44s until I traded one for a 480. As far as handles, it is sort of like tattoos on women. They get a boy friends name on their rear end and marry someone else. I am not getting any tattoos and I do search for number three as to 44s go. It might be my 9.5” SRH I traded for that 480 SRH or it might be a long arm in the same cartridge or a different hand gun.

    So .... how many wheel guns do I have?

    Plenty.

    I am not going to assemble a road map for some future administration to use in a nefarious way.

    But my first response that the autos are under represented by about ten to one around my parts stands.

    Best regards

    Three44s

    I've been a 1911 guy since the get go, and I've tried so many others, CZ, Glock, S&W, Steyr, H & K, Sig all fine guns but my wife says I'm 32 going on 60 and she may be right, nothing turns my switch like an old school wheel gun. Went BIG for the first one 480 Super Redhawk, and I'll never turn back.. now I'm hunting for a bisley in 4 5/8.. those 44 flattops really look appealing.
