Couple more treasures from Reno

There were cheap S&W's at almost every table. Got these two cheap. For the 2", $375, and the 5" for $350. The grips do not match on the 2" but are correct period. The 5" is all matching.
C 169886 2", and C 133451 5". No XXX's on either gun. D.O.M.'s on both guns? Got a few more S&W's too.Thanks, Big Larry

Congrats on some beautiful guns for great prices. They would have come home with me as well...

Thanks guys. That Reno show marked my 1st year of collecting S&W's. I now have 32 of them. Got a long way to go. Thanks, Big Larry

That's going to be a really fine collection if that's your
normal take. Good Job! TACC1

When I started, it took me me a little more than a year to come up with 32 revolvers, your commin' along just fine.

Nice pair. I have been jonesing for a 2 in MP with the moon site for a long time. Looks so old school 50s detective

32 in one year ? Dang dude. Leave some for others. My state has a 1 gun a month law. Some months I don't buy my gun but I can't find any DA to charge me with violating the law

Couldn't make the trip this time...picked up a 5" M&P just like yours a year ago at that show....and I woulda been on that snubby reaaally fast!

32 in one year??? Either you hit the lottery or lived on rice crispies that year...

32 in one year? You're not married are you? Or, your kids are now all finished with college.

Big Larry has been selling off some of his long gun collection to fund his newest passion. He is quite knowledgeable on martial guns and M-52 Winchesters. Don't know him personally but from following his posts on another site I believe it's fair to say that he doesn't do anything half way.

Thanks Dennis. Yep, been selling off my US martial 22's and some of my M52's. Keeping the heavies, they are just to pretty to get rid of.
I am retired and have no kids to support. I get by on my Teamster pension and social security.
My wife and I split whatever is over at the end of the month. Hers for travel and mine for guns and other toys.
BTW, that snubbie was two tables from mine and it has mismatched grips. Usually a deal breaker for me, but they are high horn and correct, and the seller lowered his price and I could not pass it up.I will find a 100% gun and sell this one. Probably make a few $$$$ on it. Big Larry
