Wheelguns!

**texasrazorman** · 10-19-2011, 05:47 AM

Here are some of my herd:

First is a Smith and Wesson 625-JM... what a sweet gun!

Second is my Webley Mk IV:

Finally I have my smoke pole; a Pietta replica of a Remington 1858 New Army:

(Photos not my own, but the pistols are the same model as my own.)

I love that Webley!

Ok, found a crappy cell pic from facebook of my babies:
Both are old model Blackhawks. The long barreled one is a .357mag and the stubby boat anchor is a .41mag:

Yes it is only double action, supposedly bobbing the hammer makes it faster or something but i just think it looks cool. I managed to get the trigger pull down to about 3.5lbs and it cycles flawlessly. It was the first revolver I did a trigger job on it was pretty nerve wrecking, lots of time and patience.

I think eventually I would like to have it engraved, considering the style of the gun I think a vampire theme (similar to the colt vampire gun) would look awesome.

38 S&W in...Well 38 S&W. This one saw service with the US military during WWII. I also had a Ruger 22/45 but that doesn't go with the wheelgun theme.

Are you sure it wasnt part of the lend/lease program, I had one that had been repatriated to the states and had a Lithgow Arsenal stamp.

Pretty sure (Never 100% with antiques though). The only markings out of the ordinary was the stamp "Property of United States" along the sight groove.

Hirlau, yours looks to be in better condition. What do you think of yours shooting wise? I found the calibre to be pretty gentle, a very controllable shooter. I don't know that it would have a great deal of stopping power, having only used mine against paper targets.

Not sure about better condition, yours looks great. Mine has been stripped down and cleaned inside and out. Test fired and stored.
She shoots fine, the caliber is light compared to todays standards. She's no 1911, but in her time , she got the job done, more than a few times. My life experience has brought me to the conclusion that stopping power is directly related to shot placement. Your revolver will take care of business, if you take care of her and get your rounds on your intended target.
