Default The definitive "unfired" S&W thread!

We all know that guns are meant to be shot, and most of us do so with the ones we own. However, some of us have a select few that are "safe queens," preserved as pristine, unfired since leaving the factory, and we intend to keep them that way just to drool over and pass on to future generations "as issued." I thought it would be fun to start a thread of these gems with some eye candy. While I can't be 100% sure, here are some of mine that show no signs of ever having been fired before I got them. If you have some, post 'em, and let's all try to not drool on our keyboards!

John

First, a Model 66-1:



A 40-1:



A 39-2:



A .32 Safety Hammerless:



A 27-2:



A 10-5:



A 10-2:



And finally, a 629 "no dash":

Wow, those are beautiful.

I don't have any unfired ones - safe queens make me kind of sad, like nice cars that never get driven anywhere.

Those are certainly some very very nice guns, though. Congrats.

Excuse me while I mop up the drool. I don't have any unfired Smiths but have several 99+% guns and don't fire those because I have others that get used often.
I see your point, probably wouldn't shoot them either.
