This model R-103 falls in the middle of production from the R-101 to the last R-108.
No screws were used to build it, instead it’s held together with only pins. It’s a double or single action with a case hardened trigger and hammer. I asked to take a look at it and found the little lightweight to have a tight lock up and perfect action. 22 long rifle and it’s overbuilt like a bank vault door. The sights are big and easy to see, unusual for snub nose revolvers from back in the 1960s and 70s. The only screw used in the Sentinel is the one securing the grips at the very bottom of the gun. The Sentinel is a high quality revolver with a 9-shot capacity in. It was nickel plated with white birdshead grips, a very striking version of High Standard’s Sentinel. I’ve wanted one just like this for over 30 years and I was amazed to see it resting there, staring back at me. I walked into my local range/gunshop three years ago and this little snub nose. 22 is the neatest and most accurate revolver they’ve ever owned.22s are great trail guns and excellent for training because you can shoot a whole lot of rounds for very little expense. But there is a make and model of revolver that is often overlooked because it wasn’t made by the big three.Īn internet search of YouTube or Google will turn up lots of people who swear this. We may frown upon other “lesser” makes of wheelguns (and I won’t mention them by name). As RevolverGuys, we often focus on the good stuff.
