If you had to keep one of these revolvers, which would it be? Both have 6" barrels and are in the original box with hang tag and paperwork.

1. 1978 Nickel Plated with wood grips

2. 1985 Bright Stainless with Pachmayr presentation grips

Keep the nickel 1978. I have a 1975. It is sublime.

No one replied before the deal was done but the bright stainless was sold and the nickel plated remains. Looks like the right choice was made
