Sixguns

If you like old sixguns, post em up.

Here's an old 3 screw Super Blackhawk, and a Colt SAA

Load six if your insides tells you to...

Vaquero is not so old.

^^^ Should the old style SA's be called fiveguns?

I have a 1960's era Ruger Super Single Six. Never sent it in for the "sixgun" conversion. I like the click...click...click...

No, fiveguns are fiveguns.

I think it's more about the practice of keeping one Chamber empty to set the hammer on than about the actual number of chambers.

No pictures, far from home for now, but I have a thing for single action revolvers. I like Rugers and I load six, and I do own a few three screws. I like revolvers in general, but don't like cleaning them. It's seven times the work.

On my Vaqueros and Blackhawks I run super blackhawk hammers; wider, lower, easier to thumb. I really like the birdshead grip and smooth grips, in general. Hard rubber with checkering tears my hand up. The gunfighter contoured grips are great.

My last purchase this summer may be a Freedom Arms .41 magnum five shot revolver; been wanting one for some time, and this may be the year.

Sounds like you have some interesting guns. Post some pics when you get back home, I'm thinking about a Ruger winter build and would love some ideas.

I think the only proper six gun I have now is an SP-101.

I tend to have more five guns that I need, but I didn't need a twelve gun either...

That SP-101 must be a .327 magnum or smaller to get six shots.

Great little revolver, though. A bit heavy, and the triggers need shims and some smoothing, but built like bank vaults, reliable, easy to shoot. Mine is a 3" bbl in .357 magnum.
