Smile Model 19 or Model 66 2.5" Barrel
Hi:
I do not have any "Safe Queens" or Collectables. All my firearms are working/shooters.
Having a firearm just to keep in a safe never made any senses to me. This is like having a top hunting dog and never keep it as a house pet or marrying a beauty queen and never touching her. ( I married a beauty queen and we had six children).

My Dad said if you don't used or shoot the firearm, the next owner will.

I also have several 2 1/2" model 66's and one of these will the LAST firearm I give up. The advantages of the stainless steel are just about impossible to beat.

So if you want a working revolver go with the model 66. If you want something to add to the collection that can be used from time to time go with the classic model 19.

Or better yet, buy one each.
