Hooked!
It all started when I went to a small town gun show in Southern Indiana the 1st week of January. I saw a Model 66 no dash and it was love at first sight. I left with it. Now I find myself going to gun shows every weekend, joining forums like this, etc. picked up my 4th today. Clockwise from the 66 are a Model 10-8 w 3 in barrel, Model 19-5 w 6 in barrel and today got my hands on a Model 649 no dash. I know they are not all from this forum's era, but I like the 66 the best, so I posted here.

Oh man you have been smitten. You can expect to be buying many more guns. I had one revolver and a Ruger 22lr Mark II before I got my CC license. In a little over a year I had 22 handguns. LOL After buying each one I said that's the last gun I buy, I don't need anymore. What a laugh that was. I expect many guns in your future, Enjoy them.

Model 66 is a fine firearm. Competed with a round butt 2.5 inch successfully many years ago. Fast, accurate, easy to conceal. I bobbed the hammer and thinned down the trigger guard a little. My son has it now and I carry a 325 AirLite 45 these days. Prefer the moon clips and the light weight. S&W's are fine addictive firearms. Enjoy!

Expect your billfold to be lighter and to see your loved ones less (unless you are one of the lucky ones that has loved ones that also loves guns) while you are hunting that next gun.
One thing though, you said you have joined other forums like this one. THERE IS NOT ONE LIKE THIS ONE! This one is the best.

Friend, you aren't so much hooked as hosed.
Nice group. I love the J's and K's.
By the way, bamabiker is right, this is the best gun forum I've found. Glad you're with us.

Welcome, your story is Deja Vu all over for me again
I stumbled across a 66 no dash and fell hard for the k frames. I now have two 66 no dash revolvers and have gone through a 64, a 65, and a 627 in just a short period of time.

My addiction also started with a 66 no dash 2 1/2 in. Still is my favorite to
shoot. In the past 2 years have added 4 more K frames, 1 J frame, and yes, 1 N frame in 41 mag. You will be getting an N frame soon, it is just the way it goes.

Do not, I Repeat, Do Not look at a nice N Frame ! All will be lost as your collection grows!
Welcome to the forum and those revolvers are a great way to start your love for S&W revolvers!

Hahahahaha! I think you all are right - this is the best Forum I've been a part of, so far. And either you all are clairvoyant, or this disease follows a predictable course - because I've been searching out a Model 27 as next on the list!!!

Welcome to the FORUM! N frames are nice Smiths. I am surprised that nobody mentioned L frame. 586, or 686? I myself gave up on J's. Not my thing. S&W 1911's are pretty cool. I picked up 1 in December. A Beauty! So many nice guns out there........too little time! Bob

That Model 10 is a nice catch. I just love a 3" K-frame.

collecting may be a disease.
With any disease there are meds and treatment.
With meds there can be side effects.
The only cure for the side effects is, buy more, buy more.
Welcome to our clinic. The Doc will be with you in a few. In the mean time
lease peruse these ols SW brochures.

Keep searching for that Model 27, but scoop up the first Model 28 you find at a reasonable price and in good condition.

Iggy wrote "We'll wait for you at the bottom." With all due respect to Iggy, there is no bottom!! You'll hear talk about someones grail gun. Everyone has a different prospective. Me personally it's a list (getting longer the more I hang around this place) as one get's checked off the next on the list becomes that must have gun. The road goes on forever and the party never ends............ Congratulation on joining us. hardcase60
