These are my K38 S&W's. 1950 4 screw K38 masterpiece 6", 4" 15-3 combat masterpiece( 1975) very lightly used, and a 2 " 15-3 combat masterpiece ( 1973), which I believe to be unfired. All i need now is a pristine 10-5 X 6" for a 10-5 2, 4, 6 quality set

Nice collection

Very nice bunch there.

But don't you also need an 8 3/8 inch barreled K-38 to complete the set?

There has always got to be one that does not care how they spend another's money. But, you let me off easy. You could have said " Where Is the nickel collection?"

Just kidding of course

I don't know what I want more, a Combat Masterpiece like yours or a "shooter". Hopefully I'll stumble on a high end shooter some day.

So, stupid question...besides the un-fired CM, do you shoot the other two? They all look pristine but that K38 has gotta be fun to shoot.

I have not shot any of them yet. I doubt I will shoot the 2 or 4 inch ones. Just me. The 6" I will shoot, but I only got it Thursday. I got the grips in anticipation a month ago

What about a 4 in model 14?
What about a "dayton".

And, let us not forget the 5" variation too!
I just love spending other people's money!

Nice trio you have there! I have a 14-3, a 67 no dash, 66-2, 2.5" & a 10-5, 2" R.B. BUT ALAS!!!........ no 2" 15. Have looked for a couple of years, and it has not happened. I won't stop looking. Bob

I can tell you my FFL followed me almost to the car wanting to buy the 2", and this guy buys thee best and rat holes them deep into a private collection.

I have a mint 10-5 X 2"RB and the same in a 4". Both 1968. Both with boxes

I was not looking for a 15-3 X 2", it just happened along with box and dox

Those are model 14 guns. Maybe sometime, I may look at them, but the Dayton is pretty rare I believe. I had a 14 in the mid 70's. Traded it like a fool.

I did 2, 4, 6, in model 15, well kinda the K38 is pre 15. i think there eis a 15 @ 6", but not introduced till the 80's. I want older guns

I have a 2,4, and am looking for a pristine 10-5 X 6". I had one till a guy sent my MO back and backed out of the deal, and no he was not underselling it.

Them maybe 14's or 19's.

i could do 27's, but too much money for me to tie up. I doubt I will ever own a 27 while I have 28's. That is of course unless the deal is too good to pass up

I seriously thought your original picture was this old picture I took a couple years ago but only 2 are K-38, but the background looked close.

I love the Model 15. I only have one...a Model 15-3 with a 4-inch barrel. A real shooter, accurate as all get out and as smooth as butter. Doesn't get much better.



Here's my Model 10. A great gun, too, but for some reason, if I had to choose between the two, I'd lean more toward the Model 15.

I just sort of completed my hodge-podge M10/M&P accumulation.....
Haven't had time for pics yet, maybe next week -
2": M&P c.1950
3": M&P ship-date 1958 per Mr. Jinks (kinda unusual)
4": HE 4th change RB c.1930's
4": M&P 1954 tapered barrel
4": Victory c.1942
4": M10-10 HB RB Australian Police
5": M10 tapered bbl. c.1975
6": M&P c.~1941 (late pre-war)

Not much compared to real collectors here, but fun putting together over the years. They all get shot.

There a lot of people who would say you have three of the finest revolvers Smith & Wesson ever produced.

I'm afraid I would just have to shoot the 15's. The four-inch 15-3 I owned had an unbelievably silky trigger, and I would dearly love to own a snub 15.

Oh well, what the hell.

I have the 2" and a 4" versions....I would love to add a 6" & and 8-3/8" someday!

Very nice looking triplets you have there. Congrats.

A 1950 K-38 Masterpiece would be a 5-screw and would probably not have the heavy barrel?

I have never seen a 2" model 15 in the flesh for sale. All these years of S&W handguns and not one single example has crossed my path, or it would be in my safe right now.

Impressive!

Thanks for sharing them with us!

IMHO the 4" Model 15 is S&W's best effort to date.
