You do need help - that blanket needs ironing  .
Any 3" in there? Can't tell if the short ones are 2.5" or 3", or both. Enjoy!

No you don't need any help , your doing a great job collecting all by yourself . You could always take up a new hobby , maybe collecting J-Frames

If you did this on your own I can only imagine what it would look like if you had help!

We all joke around about having oh so many guns. I get it. I have a bunch myself, but what if she really seriously, with tears in her eyes, told Philw49 she thought he needed help. I hope Philw49 is just joking and that he isn't spending the mortgage money on 30 guns, many of which really do look the same.

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. It looks like you keep adding 686's...yep, you need help.

Yes, I agree that you need help. You need help to continue to find more excellent specimens of such fine guns.

No argument here! You DO need help. Somebody needs to help you find a few 586s to join the herd.

I think your wife means you need to diversify your portfolio. You have a great start on the L-Frames, but how about a few 617s, 69s or 986s too? Remember to keep at least 1,000 rounds per gun.

I agree, let us help you shoot and care for them. If you are accepting foster parents, I can take in a few of those snubbies.

Well don't fall off a boat with your ''bug out bag" full of handguns!
A little 'diversity" might not hurt......you do know there are also J,K and N frames??????????????????

I kindly remind my wife of her shoe and handbag "collection" if/when she ever talks about how many firearms I have... All conversation stops at the hint of that!
Nice set. That might be the most impressive assembly I've seen yet!

Agreed. There is more to S&W than just L-frames. But there is nothing wrong with L-Frames.

Have mercy! That's officially "a bunch". I really like your hog legs, especially the silhouettes & the PowerPort. Do you have a favorite?

Looks to me like you may need some help...help finding the boxes, tools, and paperwork for each of those guns. And then you probably need some more help organizing, tracking, cataloging and storing that herd.  
...but then again, what do I know...
My name is Richard and I am a Smithaholic...

Get a gym membership so you can carry a bag to sneak them in.
Of course, if I told my wife I was going to the gym, she'd know something was up.

I've saved a copy of your attachment. Next time Mrs. 5-Shot complains, I'll show it to her. Thanks. You've provided a public service for the rest of us.

I am with the wife. You need help. You need a 586 collection. For me my 28 collection is having babies all the time. Now I am worried since my model 57 come home cohabitating with a 58 within a week. It is terrible. Pre lock anynomous.

The one who dies with the most toys wins, tell her I said your way behind. Lol. My neighbor is a judge, his wife says she admires a guy who collects everything he wants. Can't have just one.

Your wife is correct. I want you to get rid of all but the most choice 686's and pick up some colt snake guns, some custom NAA mini revolvers, a Ruger Super Blackhawk, Some old military revolvers, one of those Rhino 357's and a S&W 500. Heck, go head and throw in a Tuarus Raging Bull while you're at it.
Then I want you to send your entire collection to me. Just Send me a PM, and I'll give you my name and mailing address. We're going to get through this buddy.
