Nice array of Revolvers. I'd add a couple 1,2, or 3 Generation Smith and Wesson Autos. But I'm a radical.

looks great
Nice collection you've got going.
You need a nice set of stocks on the "naked one"
What model is it?

I would add some pre WW II revolvers- a 1917, a .44 Special, a .32-20, a .38 M&P target, etc.

It seems like yesterday that I posted a similar pic of my Smiths when they would all fit on one table. 15+ years later and they barely fit in two large safes. :-) I could probably cover the floor in one bay of my garage now.

Might I suggest that you start with grips for that nickel revolver 
Seriously, it depends on what you like.
With the revolvers, I mostly like the 357, 41 and 500 Magnums. But then the 10MM revolvers are pretty cool as well
Then there are the auto loaders. That is an entirely different animal.
There are also the Performance Center offerings, revolvers and autos. I am quite fond of these both for their performance as well as their beauty
If you have not already learned from this forum, the acquisition and enjoyment of Smith and Wesson firearms can be an endeavor that is not completed in a single lifetime

Im 33yrs old. I have the stocks for the nickel 57. They need refinished i just havent had a chance to get to it. I have owned an early 39-2 in nickel and im not font of the early smith auto loaders. The earliest gun in the group is the pre29 and pre15. Yes the 29 with cokes is pretty fun. I also have a lettered first year 57 close to it. I did miss one more in the safe another blue 19 4in.

You look a little light on J Frames and I don't see any I Frames at all. That is a whole different line of Smith's.

Nice group ya got there.
I don't think a collection would be complete without a 3 1/2" 27.

I think you have too many blued guns with target stocks. You should probably send some my way since it will help even out your collection
Are they all 22's, .357/38's and 44's or do you have other calibers mixed in like 45's and 32's? Either way it looks like a real nice layout.

I remember when mine was 1 piece, M41 that I bought in 1982. Total Sports stopped selling evil firearms. Retail on my M41 was almost $500, paid $324 OTD with sales tax, new in the box with whole package.
