Reeder Custom Guns - I try real hard to ignore Roy Huntington …

I’ve never met him and he’s not really, really, that far distance. I’m not sure what would come of such a gathering. Seems we have common “passions”.

I accidentally peeked this morning. Now I’m battling N-frame fetishes. I didn’t even know I had a “hole” in my collection! Maybe, just for fun, surely it wouldn’t hurt anything, I’ll see what’s around on the market for the .38/44 range…. Surely modern thinking men probably would not even look twice at them.

Right thinking men understand that there is a place for a good revolver and in some situations the sixgun is better than the autoloader.

I also found S&W re-issued a “classic” version of the fixed sight model 20. Most seem to be 5”-6” barrels. The 5” sounds cool but I’d want a 4” or even 3.5”.

I found 2-3 fixed sight N-frames in good shape for $800-$900. The iron sighted “Outdoorsman” seemed to be popular. Totally forgot about them.

They came in 4 inch 5 inch and six and a half inch 5 was the most common length I had Gary work mine over and it is amazing.

I'm a sucker for them. Old timers claim they can hang up, but I've never had issues. Folks used to give them to me, 25 cents each at gun shows. T-grip adapters too. Hard to find these days.

I found a S&W Model 22 Thunder Ranch in .45acp that scratches that itch. Moon clips are cool, and heavy loads with Auto Rim brass make it easy to identify ass-kicking, hunting loads vs. plinking loads. I had to do some modifications to eliminate light strikes, file down the front sight to make it shoot to aiming point, but it is pretty cool. now I just need to install the Hillary hole delete kit to complete it.

You can also seat longer bullets out to gain some pressure reducing capacity. I have a Redhawk .45ACP/LC that I actually shoot .45 Win. Mag using the full moon clips. It’s fantastic.

*Hey Ruger, you listening?! Come out with a fixed sight Redhawk or you have no hair on your butt! I kick myself for not collecting all those fixed sight FA83’s whe no one wanted them! I always liked a rugged wheelgun that the sights never shifted.

I believe you are wrong.

I was being a bit facetious. They are bad expensive!
