A pair of Single Sevens.
One is a light-weight walkabout gun while the other is a heavier range gun.

My mostly unfluted Bearcats.
That's a nice pile of Bearcats you have there. I forgot about mine.
Personally I've never really understood why cylinders have flutes in the first place. They serve no practical purpose that I know of and cost more because of the extra machining step. I like the looks of a cylinder without flutes also.
Anyone know why the flutes are there in the first place?

Huh, how about that. In a club, and I didn't even know it.

Most all of my revolvers are non fluted, especially anything I have made.
Clean simple lines like most FA’s

i was told by a S&W rep., that flutes were for weight reduction. the primary concern was less stress on the cylinder stop during fast, double action fire as the cylinder spun quickly and made an even quicker stop.

I like the old back powder guns and the Super Blackhawks without flutes. Others with flutes
