Anyone like wheelguns?
 

I decided to take a family photo while I had the wheelguns out. Next month semi-autos?

I hope you like revolvers... :D

Hi Steve.
Nice collection; great.:thumbup:

Could you tell me what brand/type of revolvers are in that long line in the middle?

Peet. (Ruger GP100 6" SS)

Steve Very Nice!!!! Yes I like wheelguns. Very nice Colts! Bill

Thanks guys.

Peet, that long line of revolvers are all Colt Police Positives. I kind of have a fondness for them... :)

I know I should take another shot of just them since they didn't show very well in this one. Hard to get all of those guns in the same shot.

I like 'em!

Greetings, Gentlemen.

WOW! A 600?? That's the damnedest thing I've ever seen!! Just awesome!

Have you shot that thing? Where does one find ammo? Do you have to roll your own? How is it?

That's very, very cool.... :D

It was made in the 1870's in Belgium. Yes, Steve, I do shoot it and must roll my own. The cases are 24 gage shotshell brass. .577 rifle brass can also be used. Shortened and formed of course. The bullet weighs 457 grains. I was pushing it at 680 fps but had to take it down to 600 fps. The latch screw was starting to bend. Custom hollow base bullet mold was made by Lee Precision. Great fun to shoot. Just one of the many old timers that I own and shoot.

Well Ralph, now I've seen it all... (until next time)... :)

RalphH,

Tell me more about the Gillon. I can't find it in any of my books and I'm intrigued.
In the meantime, here's my 11mm French Arsenal (St. Etienne) model 1873 (actually a photo of someone else's, mine is in better shape).

Looks more like this one?

Ralph,

Exactly like that one.
Please don't forget to tell me more about the Gillon so I can find it in my references.

Greetings, David,

This is about all I could find during my research on the Gilon, which I affectionatly call "Thumper". This is a link to littlegun site. Once there,
click on Belgium "E" on left side of page. Click on "Identified Craftsmen".
Scroll down and click on "Gilon N. Joseph". The big honker shown last is the actual revolver in my possession. Not much information, but a place to start.

If your interested in the work I did to give "Thumper" a second chance at life, take this link.

Click on photos to enlarge them. Enjoy.

Wheelgun heaven. Nice collection going there and I too share the fondness for prewar Colts and Smiths. But...the one that caught my eye is your H&R Sportsman sitting in the middle. This was the first model I ever got to shoot, my dad had, and still does, it's twin but with factory real ivory grips. All things considered I hope I never get to own it but will never sell it if I do (think about it and you will get it).

Thanks for sharing your pics.

Tim

Re: Gilon
 

Thanks Ralph. I bookmarked the web site. Looks like a lot of interesting information.

Swiss ones I have in my collection...

One (1) M1878, two (2) M1882's, and three (3) M1882/29's. I have shot all but the old, big M1878 :
