I just bought a used S&W Air Lite model 357PD in 41mag. 4in barrel super lite for an N frame revolver. I only plan to use this with my 41 special reloads . It looks brand new, I was told they only made them 2 years .
Last handgun BOUGHT was in 2017, a 9MM Shield w/tritium sights, cause of the favorable rebate at that time. The last "acquired" was a S&W MP22 .22 pistol, that was replaced by S&W cause the one I sent in had a piece of the action casting break off will in use (2019)
As of this afternoon, S&W Model 19-3.

1st generation Colt SAA 38-40 4 3/4" .
I took some S&W autos as partial part of sale on a S&W m57 6” NIB / wooden case. Have no interest in them so they are strictly trade bait.
S&W Model 25-2 1955 Target .45 ACP
Got an itch for a Contender. A blued one with a 10".44 mag. barrel and spare 14" 30-30 barrel. Both scoped.
Picked up my last handgun about March this year- it's a Belgian manufactured 455 Webley @1890 vintage. Hard to tell you more detail because the markings are so obscure. While mechanically perfect ( it kind of looks handmade and very well finished ) I initially had all kinds of hassles trying to get it to shoot consistently. It must have the worst sights ever fitted to a revolver; fixed, really small and fine, and difficult to get a proper sight picture. I guess it only had to shoot minute of Zulu or something at point blank range, but the potential was there.
Originally chambered for the MK 1 cartridge, I can only get the shorter Mk 2 cases, and black powder is not commercially sold in Tasmania at present ( ??? ). Couldn't find a .455 mold anywhere, but reloading dies made by the Australian company Simplex are still readily available. Ended up getting a two cavity Lee mold listed as .456 calibre from one distributor, and started experimenting. By the way, a 45 long colt bullet will drop down to the brass case when inserted in the muzzle. It still has good rifling, and the cylinder locks up nearly as tight as my GP100, plus the trigger is very crisp and light on single stage.
First attempts were woeful, then I turned the projectiles back to front, drilled holes to replicate the original "manstopper " round, played with the seating depth, and it shoots really well for such an old pistol. Only using 3 grains of trailboss behind the customised bullet, and it hits with a substantial thump. Lots of fun....just have to figure my way around those sights without destroying the collector value.....
Ruger GP100 44 Special. Picked it up yesterday.

Charter arms Chameleon. sometimes it's bluish, sometimes it's greenish. I plan on shooting it tomorrow. I had to rummage around in the garage to find ammo and brass. I knew I had some someplace.

For my Wilderness Carry Permit. The biggest caliber I feel I can shoot accurately with sped under pressure. The 444mag and up are just more than my wrist and shoulders want to take.
