Default Hello..New to collecting Smiths
Hello,
New to the forum from Oklahoma and Texas. I got interested in them when I saw some videos on the Model 10 and 13 and was instantly attracted to those heavy barreled versions. The Model 10,13,65 and the newer 619 with fixed sights to me are some of the most attractive revolvers made by S&W. And so I caught the bug bad. So here is what I've managed to find in the past 3 months. Just getting started I think. I've learned and researched a lot on the forum and I hope to keep on learning and sharing. Have a good one!

Top to bottom in the pictures, estimated manufacture dates from serial numbers:
Model 10-10 .38 Special (1997)
Model 13-3 .357 Mag (1984)
Model 28-2 .357 Mag (1978-80 range)
Model 25-5 .45 Colt (1986)
Model 327 TRR8 .357 Mag (2016)

Oh I'll definitely be adding to it! I've been cruising the stores and watching auctions. Trying to focus on just a few, but I have Gun A.D.D. I see one I like and it's off to the races sometimes..
Thanks!

Thanks to all welcomes.. On the list next is a Model 29, 6.5" barrel. Seems like a nice medium length from the 8 inches and the snubbies. I don't own a 44 yet, so that is another reason to add it. But the 619 is the one I'm looking for the hardest. The ones I found were abused or one had been cerakoted.
On the hunt. Thanks again.
