I am just wondering what a two tone revolver might look like in stainless,nickel,blued. The google search gave me nothing really to look at in images so if you have one and feel like posting it please and thanks.

google smith and wesson pinto. A forum search here wil probably turn one up as well.

Hard to tell from the flash, but this F.I.E. Titan has a blue frame and barrel with a nickel cylinder and ejector housing.

You'll see the occasional "pinto" S&W on Gunbroker. They are collector's items, assuming they are original and not a replacement cylinder fitted to the gun.

See, that is why I asked. I didnt know if I was going to hate it, like it or want to have sex with it! I have a bright and shiney sp101 and thinking of doing something like that just to change the look to something that not every one has!

Consider the work that Jeff at Mossy Creek Customs does on Sp101's. He can sexify that already fine firearm you got there...

You are talking about spending a bunch of money to devalue a nice revolver. If you're o.k. with that, go for it.

HAHA Funny that is what some said about my van before I did it! The value is in the eye of the owner. Now, I would never do it to ANY of my speed six revolvers. If I do something like that I wil make sure to post the pic on here.

I would like to do it to a snubbie so I might have to pick up another SP that might not be so clean.

Probably saying something everybody but me knew about-- Years ago I had a S&W 649 stainless snubbie that for some reason got some spalling in the cylinder-holes within the first year. S&W covered it under warranty no problemo but refused to do the "easy thing" and just ship my dealer a replacement cylinder. They insisted on the dealer sending the gun back because they explained that replacing a cylinder required them re-verifying the timing on the gun.

Just sayin, for instance if somebody bought a brand-new blue revolver and a same-model brand new stainless revolver, it might be good at least to get a gunsmith to convert into a pair of two-tone revolvers? Just to make sure you wouldn't get timing problems?

Maybe in practice you could swap cylinders all day long just with a screwdriver without getting problems, but it just seemed kinda interesting that S&W didn't think so.

There's definitely more to it that sticking in a new cylinder. The timing and cylinder gap may or may not be correct. The OP may have the required knowledge to check and correct these, but most of us simply don't.

I believe that the MAX any cylinder to forcing cone gap should be no more than .006 I take a blade type feeler guage with me when I go to look at buying a used revolver.

There's something about that green Charter that really amuses me. Wonder what it looks like in real life.
