I really like this answer.

But the finest built of all revolvers of the last century is a tossup between the Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum and the Freedom Arms revolvers.

BINGO! My sentiments exactly. But, the wag in me would saty the finest revolver is the one I am shooting at the time. I just punch paper and for me I am very partial to the S&W M14, 15, 17, and 18, Ruger Bisley 41 magnum. So the exact choice would be difficult.

The N frame Smith and the Ruger single action.....----Inline 6

But how do you define "finest"? If it's craftsmanship it's the pre war N frame......if it's durability, it's the Ruger single action.

You can't let emotional personal preferences in that answer like off the wall low production numbered guns as they rival custom made guns.

I'd say the S&W pre model number 27 .357 Magnum.

My well used model 1917 is a better gun than anything produced today. The feel and the trigger are sublime.

I'll just cover two centuries and take the Colt New Service, 4 1/2" model in 45 Colt or ACP please. I'd even allow a 44 Special.

S&W Second Model Hand Ejector in .44 Spl or any of the .45s. The pre-WWII revolvers were made by real craftsman before the WWII mass production practices took over. I've yet to own a Triple Lock, so that may be the real top dog, but I don't have the experience with one to compare it to my Second Model revolvers.

It is said by many of the greats that the Smith & Wesson Triple Lock is the finest American made production revolver ever to be made. In the batch of 15,000 Triple Locks a couple of hundred target variations were made with even more fine fitting. This is the revolver formally owned by the famous Captain Nate of Herreshoff America's Cup fame. It's the tightest and most finely fitted revolver I have...except for the 44-40 Merwin & Hulbert pictured below it.

They both get shot once in a while.----Inline 6

The line milled into the top strap for the sight is hardly noticeable.....

This is more finely fitted than the Triple Lock and was built in the late 80's...1880's.

Fred,
The Freedom Arms is as close to a custom gun as you can get. It's a niche gun, with limited production, no distributors or jobbers and does not fit in with regular production guns so it can't be classified as one of the "finest revolvers of the 20th century", although it is a very nice revolver.

Now, you have pictured a model 24.....yes, a fine revolver indeed. I'd ask you if I can have it but I have several, one, a real five screw....1,2,3,4,5!.....

Here we go? The 1950 Target 44 Spl. 5 screw (Pre-24) and the mighty triple lock target....(10 screws) :D

Fred,
Where's the correlation in your statement? That's like saying, "I'd trust a Volkswagen with 89 octane gas long, long before I'd trust a Cadillac with rocket fuel...... :D

Rossi's are junk, plain and simple....they are a novices gun who are naive about what decent quality is....you know, the same people who used to buy Vega's and Pinto's....and probably still do.......just read the posts here from newer members who don't know that I'm lurking who complain about their Rossi j.u.n.k. ...... Members who have been here for some time who have Rossi's are paranoid about even mentioning they own one, let alone bragging about how great they are for fear of "being sniped".... :D

Here we go again!............. :D ...it's all spelled out right here in plain Ebonics.....

If you want to mess with your group on emotional tears go ahead but .., if you continue to address me this way I will address the facts .., others who have done this resort to not talking to me for years/maybe just a year ;-) I have given you a pass so far. I suggest you stick to the facts.

I'm sorry Master Fred...please accept my deep felt apologies......poop, now I'm crying...ok, ok....

ROSSI'S are GREAT! If Mr. Rossi was born back in the 1860's there never would have been Winchesters, Marlins, Colts....or even Merwin & Hulberts.....the world's armies would all have Rossi machine guns that would fire millions of rounds with never a jam....in fact, because of the fear Rossi's would have on others, there would be "peace through strength" ...similar to today's nukes....

Ahhh...first gen Colts until WW1. Never liked the ones made after...fine guns indeed but put one first gen from 1910 in your one hand and one from 1930 in the other and you'll see and feel the difference.....pretty much the same with Winchesters.

I don't really consider the elegance or beauty of revolvers much. I note those factors, but they don't stimulate me to actually own such guns--if I own one of those it's because it WORKS for me.

So I'm with Sarge on the Colt "New Service" because of its durability and reliability--I once owned one that was made in the 19TH CENTURY and apparently lubed with camel urine but would still chuck out those .455 Eleys until you ran out of 'em. Not elegant, not beautiful, but I suspect that if there is .455 ammo in the 22nd Century, it would still lob it out there.

For practical use, hunting or self-defense, the Ruger "Six Series," which came in a whole spectrum of models from range/hunter "Security Six" 6" to the (almost) concealable 2 3/4" Speed Six, is my choice for most reliable and fixable. Hard to find in my state because of our insane handgun laws, but worth finding and I have two--the littlest and the biggest.

Have no idea why it was locked, don't care. I didn't see anything that was particularly offensive at all. I did want to add the S&W X-frame to the list, with its co-introduction of the 500 S&W cartridge which will probably always be the "end all" of handgun cartridges, and also the 460 S&W. They took double action technology to a WHOLE other level in both cartridges in actions that are very, "Smooth and Wesson" smooth. My 460 snubbie, as part of the Emergency Survival Kit, is the only gun I own that didn't need gunsmithing. By my standards, that is astonishing.

Darn, getting here rather late today and missed all the fun. So did you ever figure out who or why of the lock?

As a levergunner, I'm not qualified to answer this question. Besides, the only 20th century revolver I own is a S&W mdl 65. Only used in practice & training, never failed.
