Last summer, I bought my first S&W revolver, a 642-1. A few months ago, I bought my second, a 10-5. Today, I put a deposit on my third, a 65-3.
I am on a mailing list for a local gun shop. Most of the time it's about ARs, and AKs, and other military type rifles. On Wednesday, I glance at the new message and they mention S&W .357 revolvers coming in on Monday! Crikey, I'm out of town on Monday. I sent an email back to ask if I could put a deposit down, then come back next Friday.
I popped in today, they showed up early! Two 4" and one 3", I took the 3". These are no safe queens, but everything felt solid and I'm paying less than $350 out the door. I just checked on gunbroker and there are two 3" that look in similar shape for $450 and $599 buy it now.
I'll put up pics when I get it.

I'm on the tail end of the pay cycle, so I put a deposit. This wait will remind me of what the poor souls in California feel like.

I look forward to my next. I'm thinking a L frame.

Sounds like a very good deal for a 3" 13 or 65, and a steal if a model 66.

There is an end to the addiction, but it varies from person to person. Not breathing any more seems to be a common one...

It sounds to me like you're on a roll! First a 642, then a Model Ten, then a sweet 65.....I'd say you're batting a thousand! And yes, you need an L-frame next, then an N-frame or several. Isn't this fun?

You are a right thinking man.
