Roscoe: The Gloriously Butchered S&W Triple Lock

This is a little video about the things that man is capable of. The depths to which he will sink when presented with a high condition Triple lock in the year of our lord 1935. My main channel is here:    / @crowdragonpirate   This video takes a detailed look at a highly modified Smith & Wesson Triple Lock revolver, affectionately nicknamed "Roscoe." The host explores how this specific firearm was heavily customized—or "butchered," according to some traditionalists—to better suit modern shooting needs, particularly for recoil management and concealable carry (0:00-0:13, 0:54). Video Highlights: The Triple Lock Feature: (1:07) The host explains the origin of the nickname, referencing the unique third locking mechanism designed for the high pressures of the new 44 Special cartridge in 1908. Reimagining the Grip: (7:49) A major modification involved removing the iconic "hump" from the grip strap to allow the gun to roll in the hand under recoil, similar to a Colt Single Action Army. Fitzgerald Special Style: (12:08) The trigger guard was removed, a popular modification of the era known as a "Fitz Special," aimed at faster access and reducing weight. Sighting Upgrades: (16:13) The host contrasts Roscoe with another modified Triple Lock that features a dovetailed rear sight and a target front sight installed by the Smith & Wesson service department. Historical Clues: (23:36) The host analyzes a specific pin placement error, suggesting this very gun might be the exact revolver featured in a 1935 American Rifleman article by Frank H. Frisbee.
