Nickel Colts & Smiths

[Mike1957]

Since I was taking pics of my nice little nickel Christmas gifts, I decided to drag out the other nickel Smiths and the nickel Colts for a group photo.

"thecoltguy" here has an ivory handled nickel N.S. that is much better than mine. And that's saying a lot because mine is about 95% (but I'm rotten at judging %). Might as well show a couple more shiney ones. These guns bring out the pimp in me.

Rechromed 40 lb. Great Western .22..


Short .45 just like James West carried..


Here it is again with a holster i made 25 yrs. ago.


Same old pic of my birthyear gun and NRA mag from the month I popped outa the oven.

I don't have a lot of nickel guns. The desire for nickel guns was an affectation that possessed me in my youth. When I was 12 or 14 I used to dream of owning nickel Colt and Smith & Wesson revolvers. A special dream of mine was a 6-inch Smith & Wesson Model 57 .41 Magnum. Later I grew up and came to loathe nickel as a finish, thinking it was tacky.

Stuck a photo up of this sad Smith & Wesson Military & Police from 1904 the other day. Here it is being put to work and showing what it can do despite the nickel plated teensy U-notch rear sight and thin nickel plated front sight.


Here's a nickel 4-inch Smith & Wesson Model 19 in amongst some more Smith & Wesson .357 Magnums around here.


And last year, after nearly 40 years, I indulged the whim of my youth when the 6-inch nickel Smith & Wesson Model 57 finally showed up. I guess I'm reverting to my childhood in my dotage as I like nickel again and see a few more nickel guns in my future.

Should probably throw a couple of Colts in here
