I like the minimal revolvers and pistols in 9mm/.38 to .45 calibers. Lets see 'em
Here is my Ruger LCR and my Cobra Patriot .45

JLA · 08-14-2010, 10:46 PM

Minimal revolvers? What constitutes "minimal"?

[QUOTE=Alpo;662663]Minimal revolvers? What constitutes "minimal"?

Minimal is the basics, no accessory rail, fixed sights, no sharp edges..

Rick O'Shay · 08-15-2010, 08:13 AM

This Colt Sheriffs Model is on it's way Monday to the Colt Custom Shop to be turned into a 2" barrel version.

TheGunClinger · 08-15-2010, 11:22 AM

Heres a few Ruger minimals, some not so.

wyoredot · 08-15-2010, 01:51 PM

These are some sweet weapons!

K75RT · 08-15-2010, 02:30 PM

Mosin_Nagant_Fan · 08-15-2010, 04:17 PM

JLA · 08-15-2010, 04:42 PM

First up is my SBH .44 mag 7.5" Its had the internals reworked, the forcing cone recut to 11*, barrel cylinder gap set at .003", and the bore lapped. 1.5# trigger pull

K75RT · 08-15-2010, 06:44 PM

Wow! This thread has some neat weapons... A nice variation of types.

Here is my S&W D.A.H.E. in .45ACP/AR

This is a former Brinks Security issue S&W M64 it is a round butt and DAO

Zane71464 · 08-15-2010, 10:55 PM

Nice and then some!!!

I dont know where one draws the line on minimal, but here's a few from .22lr to .45ACP.

JLA · 08-15-2010, 11:27 PM

Love that DCM!

grampawmike · 08-16-2010, 10:21 AM

A couple of my 'minimals':

An early S&W M-36 (no sub number) .38 Spl cal.
A S&W M-24-3 Lew Horton Spl. .44 Spl cal.
Both are carry guns....just depends on which one, when and where.

blackcat_attilio · 08-16-2010, 10:28 AM

This is my .455 caliber ; be sure it shoots pretty good

!

TheGunClinger · 08-16-2010, 04:08 PM

Heres a few more. Some minimal some maximal.

Sure wish I could take a decent picature.

Some of you guys pics look professional. Nice bunch of guns boys, I want them all!

TheGunClinger · 08-16-2010, 04:39 PM

Missed one. My wifes Taurus 38 SP Titanium frame carry gun. She carries this and a Ruger LCP. Dont mess with her!

JLA · 08-16-2010, 06:02 PM

I like that .44 sp. How much does it weigh? Might be overkill but I am old school, No replacement for displacement!

grampawmike · 08-17-2010, 10:40 AM

This old guy weighs just under 2 1/2 pounds .......... right in the area of 39 oz. 'Taint a lightweight as the 'modern' tastes seem to go, but it sure feels good and comforting in the hand. Like you, I prefer a large chunk of stuff going downrange with a lot of mass, at velocities that just keep it coming. I frequently wore this off duty and on 'special' assignments during my 35 years in law enforcement. I still wear it when traveling into certain areas. Mike

carver · 08-17-2010, 11:00 AM

From .22 mag - .44 spcl. There are others but these will work for this this post since I only get to post 4 pics. The first is an NAA mini revolver in .22LR/.22MAG, the second is an Off Duty from Charter Arms, the third is an SP101 from Ruger, and comming in at fourth is my favorite, the Charter Arms Bull Dog.

K75RT · 08-17-2010, 03:21 PM

Guys, I only stated that "I like" minimal firearms! Post your cannons, snubbies, wheeled or otherwise! There are some beautifuls weapons posted. grampawmike, I am envious of that .44 SPL!!

i did! but the mods removed them, i guess...

K75RT · 08-17-2010, 05:18 PM

JLA please re-post I did not see your posting.....I'm sure others would like to see as well.

Here is my FEG GKK-45 that has been ported thru the slide, trigger overtravel screw, and a trigger job.

I absolutely love the Glock 37 in .45 GAP, basically a G17 with a thicker slide, compact and it hits like an ACP only in a smaller grip.

And an oldy but a goodie, the HAFDASA Ballester-Molina in .45ACP

todd51 · 08-17-2010, 06:29 PM

One shoots big'ns and the other shoots little'ns. A Colt Gold Cup and a Colt Ace.
