Here is a Ruger No. 3 that I purchased and sold. The barrel was heavy & .38-55 and 29" long. I hated to part with it but I needed a few bucks.

Paine, Here's my 2 cents. All Americans should have a revolver and a 1911. I am a wheelman myself, but I appreciate the elegance of Mr. Browning's design. The Ruger is a good price (how long is the barrel?) and you can't get much more elegant than a SA revolver and the perfect hand grip. A SA...

Well for my 2 cents, with that beautiful SS finish, I think the Lamo Camo in that gray coloring would look great. Also Tulipwood is a favorite of mine as well. I think it makes any color gun look better. But I don't like finger grooves and I usually prefer no checkering, which I think ruins the...
