One other factor, no issue if you only plan to buy a few nice S&Ws (that's all anyone plans at first), but can be one if you become an "avid" (there are other words that can be used here) collector/aggregator. When you look around and discover a 100+ S&Ws, maybe another 100+ Colts, a few Brownings, Lugers, Hi-Standards, and Rugers and a couple dozen old Winchesters, some hunting rifles, maybe a couple dozen shotguns, storing the boxes becomes a challenge. Some will laugh and ask "how could storing a few cardboard boxes become a problem" but, trust me, it can. Good luck.
