More Hand Ejectors

I was drawn to the photograph of the two S&W .44 Hand Ejectors illustrating your piece “The Quest Never Stops” (GUNS July 2020, p. 18). The photo looked very familiar and I thought I had a picture just like it saved from some long ago effort to illustrate something. I looked through my old photos and found the attached. Mine obviously lacks the illustrative qualities of Ms. Venturino’s work, but the similarity is striking.  

Both guns have the “S” serial numbers and antedate model numbers so are contemporary with your .44s. Except for two things. My old guns both have Pachmayr grip adapters instead of Tyler T-Grips and mine are not .44s, but .38-44s. (Neither has been reamed out to make a .357.)

Cool, great-looking guns … they might show up in Crossfire! —BW
