This is my 2nd out of three purchase of guns that I bought in the 70's and recently was able to replace. A DW .357 was the 3rd and final. The other snubby was a tackdriver This one, not so much, but it locks up tighter than any gun I own. High Standard in .22 mag.

I wonder why they didn't contract with Dan on these! I have looked them over and may some day add one or so to the mix! Is it Nickel?

Yes, it has what was called satin nickle. They also made the same gun in .22lr. The cylinder and crane pop right off and can be switched, as is the case in a combo kit they made. They're a few on GB now. I probably would hold off for an adjustable sight, if I wasn't replacing the same as I had.

Ok, you got me curious, is the cylinder lock on the other side? and what
are those little small notches on the outer rear edge of cylinder?

The cylinder release is simply the ejector rod. It is pulled forward, under a spring pressure and released. It is easy to do and as to the notches, I have no idea what they are. I never thought about it, but just looked and cant see what they do. Maybe it was part of the manufacturing process, to align the bores or maybe to give access to a stuck casing.

Since this is also a DW family member, at least by region and midget genes, I will post my new gun. This one also locks up 100%. I am thrilled, as I also had one in the 70's. Cobra from 1969. I took my other one apart, when young, as I had no idea that a revolver was so complicated. I sold it in a bag. This sideplate hasn't been touched and will stay that way.

Ok now I have 2 of these Sentinel MK4's One should have been a combo though came with 22lr instead. Now do you have the break down on these? or how to pop the cylinder out? The notches are so the firing pin doens't contact the cylinder! nowican, what is user name on GB? so not to bid against ya.
Nice looking colt you grabbed!

Where are all the rest of the words in our posts? I hate that. I am going to try to de-cypher the code that I see. I am not on GB bidding on anything. Congrats on your purchases, To remove the cylinder, just find the pin that rotates the crane ass. and push it in and wiggle the crane out. Its a simple and brilliant design.

Thinking about way to many things when writing that last one!
I had been watching the one you bought (nickel) and figured I would ask several questions really fast!
You did it! Now to figure out The removal on this MK4. I think you are talking about the pin recessed in the front of the frame!
Blacktop asked about the notches, the only thing I could see was the firing pin clearance area.
I hope that clears my lack of speed typing up!

I am seeing missing words, My post too. I think the pic size is messing it up, its not a matter of quick typing. Are you saying you found that pin and didnt push it in yet?

of that .22? 
Did you take the cylinder out? Shoot it? I tried Explorer instead of of my Firefox and could see all the words which I again, cannot. you werent bidding against me on GB.

Fixed, sorry I didn't find this thread earlier.
Quoting a post with a pic will mess up the thread for some reason...happens often. Removing the offending pic in the quote will set the thread straight again.

The post is much better, now,thanks. When it comes to grips, forget it, there are none. I actually spent all day with a drill press and dremel and sandpaper and was 99% done making a set and one split when I tapped it onto a little alignment pin to mark it. Congrats on getting these. My first one was Nib in '78 or so $105.

Not following here…Taurii ? Do you mean Taurus, or something else?
Hopefully Taurus didn't just work it's way into the HS realm. 
Regarding your links, yes, John Stimson is/has been an invaluable resource for the HS connection with the early DW involvement. He was one of the main reasons I pursued & (thankfully) quickly landed my MK II & III pair, as the evolution of this thread will show… LINK. I jumped into a lucky window in time apparently, because I rarely see clean ones offered for sale lately.
Next, I'd like to find a MK-V that speaks to me & that "just right" D-100 derringer...which is currently on GB, but I'm fresh outta fundage. Figures.

Yes I meant that as plural Taurus' Just last week, a friend showed me his new one that was spitting lead all over. They got it back really quick. IDK how it is, but its loose as all heck. I expect to see a MK II at the gunshow next week, its real beat up.

A word to the wise with this HS. There are many that become discolored, and it looks terrible. I guess I used something wrong on it because mine developed markings in a few weeks. These marks would not go away but I was very lucky to try some 2000 grit and a lot of CLP and it worked wonders.
