That LA State Police 66-1 caused an actual physical reaction.. I mean a sweaty palm, heart racing, empty stomach reaction... Darn that is nice, I mean they are all nice, but the 66-1 is NICE!!

Nice pistolas. I'm not sure what I'll be looking for at the Tulsa show. A nice 4 inch 32 might be in my future...

I'm not sure if I've shared this pic or not, so here's a 2.5" Model 66-1:

Sooo. I have one of these that has KBI (Kansas Bureau of Investigation) on it.

Well, that's just showing off!

Thanks. I lucked into that one. Kings Firearms had them for $449 in December 2017. It has a lot of wear but it shoots like a dream.

I put a set of smooth factory targets on mine. It really doesn't handle like a J frame. I can't wait to get it back out to the range.

Are you loading for the 32's? What's your recipe? I lucked into a bunch of 32 a few years ago and am shooting it up. It's about gone and I need to start loading for it.

The elusive model 50. It's a 36 with target sights

This is Eleanor,,,
My plainest/simplest handgun.

Very clean S&W Model 12,,,
Basically a Model 10 but with an alloy frame.

The picture doesn't do her justice,,,
A true joy to shoot.

Very nice. I have a 12-3 that looks almost identical, with two exceptions. Mine's a round butt and does not have the pinned barrel.
