That’s back when they made good ones

[00buck]

That’s a keeper!

The revolver also
Enjoy both :)

I just read the bottom of your post :D

[fast ronnie]

Sounds like you have two keepers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bigsmyl2:

[LaPoint]

That is a beautiful 45! You are very fortunate. Just enough wear so it won't be a safe queen.

[tinsnips]

Are you guys talking about his new gun or his wife?

[GregLaROCHE]

My wife has bought me many more presents than she knows about.

[MrWolf]

Sounds like you have two keepers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bigsmyl2:

Agreed. Congrats and Merry Christmas!

My wife has bought me many more presents than she knows about.

I don't want to be on the same continent when she finds out.

[762sultan]

Does she have a sister?

[Thumbcocker]

I had an identical gun in the 90's. It never shot very well with boolits due to .455 ish throats. I later learned that S&W would replace oversized cylinders but it was after it went down the road. I hope yours has good cylinder mouths. They are beautiful revolvers.

[lightman]

Thats a nice revolver! Hopefully it shoots good.

[jeepyj]

Congratulations, I have a very similar one and I believe that is a wonderful addition to the collection. Seems as though you have a very thoughtful lady there.

[Wayne Smith]

It's OK to boast to us as long as you first told her how wonderful she is!

[Cosmic_Charlie]

Get a jug of bullseye quick!

[rockrat]

Yep, already told her how wonderful she is. Would think that anyhow. She has put up with me for 30+ years!!!

Will check cylinder throats and if very oversize, will contact S&W to see if a new cylinder is an option. If not, I have a cylinder from a 625 that I might be able to have fitted.

Know any gunsmiths that can do that??

[Isaac]

What a gift! That is beautiful! You do have a wonderful wife. Now... how are you going to equal that for her? ;)
