Rather than try to compete with all the nice shiny guns on this forum, I decided that instead I'd try to keep it real. From the "beauty-is-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder" file, here's the best $80 I ever spent:
That's an old cop gun; a 1940's vintage, 5-screw Smith and Wesson M&P (pre-Model 10). It's a .38 Special with a pinned 4" pencil barrel. There's lots of holster wear, with no bluing on the backstrap, most gone on the top strap, and lots of good honest wear on the cylinder, crane, and barrel. As you've probably guessed, those are the original grips too.
It might not look like much, but it goes BANG every time, it's got the sweetest revolver trigger you'll ever feel, locks up as tight as a Scotsman, and with the right ammo is accurate enough to pick off cans and shotgun hulls at 100 yards.
This gun, along with the 1911 and Colt SAA is a true American Classic, and I'll never part with it. It will be willed to my son after I'm gone - it's already his favorite.
