i dont know why these appeal to me? probably because i have no taste!
I love Sentinels. (Nm)
.
i loved them as a kid, and i vaguely remember these
reminds me of the funky remington 572 lightweight pumps in colors
My memory of these is very vague as well...
...but I find them perversely appealing.
well put !! me too
One of my favorite old-time snubby revolvers.......
.....and I liked the colored ones too!
Take a look at the current Charter Arms line, it is 1955 all over again.
Otony
true and maybe it will catch on more this time !

a nickle Sentinel to Bud McDonald...He was so happy I though Bud's buttons would pop off his vest!

Yeah, what was I thinking?....
...I lost a nice 4" blued lightweight Sentinel in my divorce a few years ago, sorta.
Ex's boyfriend (I think) stole it outta the house before I got all my stuff out. It wasn't stored with the rest of my weapons, just sat on a bookshelf, because.......I had used it in our biker club's haunted house, rising up out of a coffin made-up like a zombie, shooting blanks at folks (scared the piss out of a lot of them - literally!). Anyway, I had used some East German 22 blanks from Graf's (if memory serves), and they were so nasty that the entire barrel was packed stem-to-stern solidly with gunk. Totally blocked, Ballistol wouldn't even soak it loose.
I hope the bastard who stole it tried to shoot it. I really do.
One can only hope...

Interesting that . . .
. . . they are the "R-101" when you consider the Ruger SP-101.
:)

I have a High Standard Longhorn with the convertible cylinders for .22LR and .22Mag ... would love to have one of these as a compliment to the Longhorn... GRIN
I'm not a big fan of the funky colors but...

By gollie they have drift adjustable rear sights and I REALLY like that! It's a very rare fixed sight gun (as most snubby's are) that isn't off by 2-3" in windage at 25 yards and that's a deal breaker for me. Just because a gun has a short barrel doesn't mean the sights ought to look at something other than the target:) if Elmer Keith ever said anything I agree with (and I agree with him on almost everything he said) it's that a good handgun needs good adjustable target sights. I never found a set of click adjustable target sights to be a nuisance but I sure have found the lack thereof to be a big one.
