Lets see those old school revolvers.

Not old school in the REAL sense, but it's my DA Ruger 357 that I carry.

Anyone packing a revolver is doing it old school. Very nice Ruger!

Three inch S&W model 10. A former Victoria Australia police gun. Not may 3" model 10's were sold to the public for some reason.

Really like the look of the 3 inch K frames. IMO, a 3 inch K frame loaded with 6 rounds of the 158 gr. FBI load is about all one would Realistically need to handle just about any armed citizen defensive encounter.

An old Iver Johnson hammerless with a 5"barrel in 32S&W

Here is what I have left.. I've had to liquidate a few in the past couple years to keep bills paid.

My "beater". A Iver Johnson 55A Target .22 rimfire.


My H&R 925 2.5" 38S&W unfired in original box, made in 1967.


My Rossi 720 3" 44spl - daily carry piece.


My M&R 999 Sportsman .22 rimfire, made in 1941, original box, wax paper, and pamphlet.


My NEF R73 .32H&R Magnum


My Interarms Virginian Dragoon Silhouette 10.5" 44Mag(extremely rare model and length).


My Ruger Vaquero .45Colt. Was originally a 7.5" barrel, but my uncle cut it down to 5.5". I'm going to get him to cut it down to 4-5/8" to 4-3/4"(flush with ejector pin housing). He also turned the barrel on a lathe to get rid of all the Ruger roll stamping crap(safety warnings and such).

I have a few Iver Johnsons and H&R revolvers,love your 925

Very interesting revolver, I don't think I've seen one like that before.

Here's a picture of a pre victory model S&W.



The pre victory model still had the checkered grips versus the smooth grips seen on the victory models starting in early 1942. The Victory models came into being as the serial numbers approached 1,000,000 in 1942. S&W lacked the equipment to add a 7th digit so instead added the V prefix. Most of the Victory models were chambered in .38 S&W for the British. Some were made for in .38 Special and saw use with the US Navy, Merchant Marine and Coast Guard. Other .38 Specials were issued to the Defense Supply Corporation who in turn issued the guns to guards at defense plants as well as other law enforcement in support of the war effort. My pre Victory probably fell under this category.
