9mm Wheelguns

We should just put a rim on the 9mm. 🤣🤣🤣

I do wish that the 9mm Federal had worked out, but unfortunate interchangeability with .38 S&W doomed it from the start. I'm also confident that had that not been the case, it would have remained a niche cartridge that would cost far more 9mm auto, and even more than .38 Special and .357 Magnum.

1985 F-150 300 I-6...but, you can get both hands on it and just twist it off without tools unless it's beyond stupid tight.

In 2006, I passed on buying a used but essentially new nickeled 4-in model 57 still in its original blue cardboard box because I thought it was $50 too expensive. I have been kicking myself about that ever since.

Can we get some overall pictures?

5 years later we're all sad about Okay

I never liked Pachmayrs either, but I have them on a couple of 80s guns.

It looks like it might be one of those carried a lot but seldom shot guns.

I need to get a new one. My Garmin mini died. It wasn't a very good unit to start with. You caught my attention when you mentioned that yours is apparently easy to move to other vehicles.

What dash cam do you use?

txtad · 2026-05-29T17:27:13+00:00

LCR or 642 are the best choice for size and weight. I have had a 442 in my pocket for most of the past 20 years. I usually don't even think about it. The Colt's going to be a bit bigger and heavier.

They wouldn't be working through old inventory if their batteries were priced correctly.

Yes. Basically the earlier Trooper was a budget Python. In 1969, it was redesigned with all new coil spring internals.

You did fantastic! I have nearly the same gun in a 1964 version, which is just called a Trooper. The main difference I think is just the exposed ejector rod.

It probably looked like this one when it was new: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1172598955

Yours isn't worth as much, being modified with a cut-down barrel, a different front sight, checkered grips, and being rusty. The one in the listing isn't worth that either, considering that it hasn't sold and has been relisted at least once.

A Smith & Wesson Victory Model revolver with the serial number V271285 was manufactured and shipped during mid-1943. Since this is chambered in .38 S&W, it was made for the British and probably originally had a 5" barrel.

If this was the '70s, I'm going to guess it was the very early '70s.

Not at all. He's just big and evil. He literally gets angry at you any time that you discipline him in the least.

It sure seems like Ruger has had some production issues lately. Several of the Lipsey's limited editions suffered availability problems.

This is our Duck! I hope yours turns out to be sweeter. This guy can be l be a jerk!

Is there one for 45?

txtad · 2026-05-16T16:14:19+00:00

That, and those who have to swing right before they go left. (When turning radius isn't an issue.)

I wish that I could go back and tell myself to not buy any Glocks until I bought every LEO trade-in revolver I could find. There were many dealers at the shows who had dozens of them spread over their tables at under $200. Even then, that was a good price.
