And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I have a 4" K frame in stainless. A model 65-2. It was a cop gun that lots of holster wear but zero wear on the forcing cane and barrel. I spent a couple of hours with it on a buffing wheel erasing all the minor scratches giving it a perfect finish. Then I put on a set of Crimson Trace rubber laser grips. It is my carry piece in the winter time when I can wear an over shirt.
Dad turned in his 19-3 for a 65-2. I remember when he brought it home and I first cleaned it. I was his batman, I reckon. Swapped uniform buttons, badge, name plate and pocket litter. Polished his shoes, cleaned his Sam Browne and Smith. He said they pulled them in after briefing and made them swap firearms before the shift. He took it out to District 1 and shot off 6 rounds just to be sure it worked. I was incredulous. "What about point of aim?" "Don't get me started...."
Very pretty revolvers pictured. I always admired the nickle plated handguns, but I've never owned one. Like Anon 5:36 above, a Lew Horton round butt .44 Spcl. 3" snub nose is a favorite of mine. I don't recall if dash 2 or three though and really doesn't matter. Helluva lot of fun to shoot, I don't like magnum snub noses (too much recoil and report) but the non magnums are great to plink and target shoot with. This and a standard CA .44 Spcl. Bulldog are great woods pistols.
Indeed.
ReplyDelete3” N frame is my edc 6 months out of the year. Maybe a dash1 Lew Horton maybe?

DeleteBeautiful but I'd not want to view either from the front end.
