.357s that I sold.
I'll start with the oldest to the newest.
3.5" pre-27 shipped 8/1955
4" pre-27 shipped 4/1957
8 3/8" M27 shipped 5/1959
6" M27 shipped 6/1961
4" M19-2 shipped 1963
6" M19-2 shipped 1967
6" Nickel M27-2 shipped 8/1968
M520 shipped July 1980
8 3/8" Nickel M27-2 transitional shipped 1982
4" M686 shipped 1984
5" M627-2 shipped 8/1998
6.5" M27-7 shipped 2000
5" 1/2 lug M686-6+ Stocking Dealer Exclusive
They were all really nice and I'm sure that they found nice homes.
I am more than happy with the ones I decided to keep.

Fortunately you still have some great ones Kenny. I sold an AR and used the funds to buy another .357. Have a nice Thanksgiving. Jh

Thank you. I kept the ones that had the most sentimental value and the ones I just liked the most.
This is the closest thing I have to an AR.
My DS Arms SA58 FAL.
This one is a keeper too.
My 28-2 is what started my love for .357s. I hunted rabbits with this for a few years and then in 2014 my brother gave it to me.
He told me I might as well have it because I was the only one who had ever shot it.

Thanks for looking.
I do question my decision to sell a couple of them.

Selling a 4in pre-27 is a rare bird to get rid of. Also love the FAL

You can actually sell a gun? But...why?

I too have sold a few 357 magnums. An S&W Model 27, an S&W Model 60,
a Ruger Sp101, and a Taurus 605 come to mind. Maybe more that I can't
remember.
Why? To get money to buy a gun I wanted more than the one I had.
It's a viscious circle, but no regrets.

I recently acquired two more .357's, a 65-1 and a 686-5 Plus, both mechanically sound and both original but filthy from neglect...The idea was to use them as tradebait for more blued S&W's as I find them, but now that they're cleaned up and sparkling, I find myself wanting to keep them...This really is a disease just like the alcoholism I overcame decades ago...At least the results from this addiction stay with me to enjoy, while that other addiction got flushed down the sewer and wrecked my health...
I think I'll name this one SAS (Smith Accumulation Syndrome)...🥴...Ben

Rare indeed. I did like having it while it lasted.
The 3.5" and the 4" pre-27s were the two I got the most money for and the 27-7 came in 3rd.

My 686-6 is one of the two that I probably should have kept.

I sold quite a few to acquire the 4" pre-27 and the 1959 8 3/8" 27.
When I sold the ones I had I actually spent the money on other things and added to my savings account.

I still have some great rifles. The one I sold was a 9mm Colt which is a little rare. Not a lot around. The funds allowed me to buy a 2 1/2 inch 66-1 and put some cash in the bank. And I hadn’t shot it for a few years. Happy Thanksgiving.

These are the two I kind of wish I'd kept. The 627-2 and the 686-6.

Selling .357 Magnums is a very hard thing to do... especially the N-Frame ones. Something that I have rarely had the will power to do.

rubiranch,
You sold some fantastic guns, as you well know. I am sure you bank account knows it as well!  Did you buy something special to replace them?
