I've owned at least 21 S&W revolvers over the years....all made prior to 1994....9 were N-frames...

just picked up a beauty of a 66-3 from early 1993, 2 1/2 inch barrel...but most of mine have been from earlier decades...

I only own 11 of the S&W's I've acquired over the years, but I still have at least one of every frame size I thru N...(I developed a fondness for the ponies in the 90's, so my Smith's have lagged behind ever since )...

I only buy revolvers when it comes to S&W (no autos) and I'd have to say J-frames are my least favorite...

I'm always tempted by any pinned barrel K frame snubby or P&R N frame w/ 6 1/2 inch barrel or less, if the price is right...
