I tried being a "collector" a number of years ago. My "theme" or goal was to have at least one example of every chambering S&W ever made a revolver in. (Condition wasn't really all that important.) I did pretty well until I ran up against the .44 Henry RF, the 38-40, a couple of obscure British chamberings, plus a few others I can't currently recall.). (I seem to remember that there were about 5 guns I needed and there was no way I was going to afford them.)
