I got this from a WW2 vets son, he was a pilot and carried it in the war. Colt restored it to like new, Official Police

Don’t get me started on 1911s! I’ve been collected firearms a long time.

I had a K-22 masterpiece with a fitted extra cylinder in .22 mag. Got stolen in a house break in 1984. Beauty

Which one do you like better?

Overall I enjoy the Python more. Looks aside, the trigger and general feel isn't even a question and I like the clockwise rotation and the fact it has no Hillary hole. Groupings on the 686 tend to be tighter for obvious reasons though. But that 6" barrel kinda restricts it to a range gun. The Python I can actually carry if I want.

Bluing on that Model 19 is pristine.

I don't have the extra cylinder.

I do have a Ruger Blackhawk with 10 mm and 38-40 cylinders though

I had pythons , sadly I sold them long ago. And none of my smiths have that stupid hole.

That ruger sounds fun, the 10 always intrigued me

It is nearly mint. I owned a gun store for awhile so always had my eye out for nice guns.

My 442 is my only Smith without it.

None of mine have the hole either

I only buy vintage revolvers for that reason. I made the mistake of ‘loaning’ my wife a 2’’ mod 10 for protection, ain’t gettin it back!

I got enough holes

10 had a lot of problems in autos. Full power loads tend to tear up guns. Lighter loads are like 40 S&W but with wasted space. In a revolver its pretty good.

This is what anti gun people can’t understand, I have guns I’ll never fire. They are not only an investment, they are fine pieces of craftsmanship, like art in a way. I’m fascinated by them, friend…em if the don’t get it. From my cold dead hands!

I read that the only auto that withstood the 10 was the Glock. I have a friend that has one and loves it, very flat shooting round
