Short-barreled single actions

[gc70]

I know it is a sickness, but I really love the short-barreled single actions.
Today I picked up a KNR4 to go with my NR4FL.
Yes, all of my center-fire single action guns also have 4.62" barrels.

I like the shorter barrels myself.

I like the short barrels myself. Even with black powder. This one is more fun than should be legal.

 

[Sam Summey]

YILES! An Avenging Angel.

Well the fact is that once out of the holster, for many reasons, I much prefer shooting the longer barrels; but, what I prefer to carry is the shorter barrels... and I have everything from the Colt SAA Buntline (12")

... down to the NAA Mini (1 1/8")

I like the long barrels AND the short barrels. You asked about short barrels:

A couple of 44 specials:

and a 45:

 

[Sam Johnson]

Sure wish I still owned all of these. Most are now in collections of RF members.

This 50th Anniversary has been my favorite 4 5/8" barrel for six years now.

What is that grip material? It's nice!

 

[REP1954]

T.A.Workman, that little 3 3/4" Single Six sure is a nice gun. What kind of ejector stroke do you get with it? Is it a homebrew or did you have it done?

 

[T.A. WORKMAN]

Stoots, The grips are Olive Wood done by CaryC!

REP1954,
I bought the gun out of Texas, owner had it done. I have not shot it yet

I'm just too fond of the proportions of the SBH shorty. Compact, yet sleek, yet muscular, with that tough-looking unfluted surface. Mine is bone stock, secondhand, has some "play" but will shoot way better than its owner :wink:

There you go!

"Bad boy" shot

Big muzzles mean STOMP

More visible

Lovely to look at, to handle, to dry fire, to live fire. Thank you Sturm, Ruger

Ooog... Well, I guess I won't bother taking pictures of mine, I'll just use your gorgeous photos instead.

Nice shots! And I agree with your sentiment. This is one gun I bought almost on its looks alone.
