I can't stop buying cheap wheelguns...

I buy older Smith's thinking I won't be upset if someone breaks into the house and steals the "night stand" gun. Like you though, I clean them up and think, I would be very upset if someone stole this fine revolver and again the search is on for another. Will it ever end? Probably not...

Nice collection....Keep lookin and buy guns not gold....

36 FBI?

Great buys you got there.
The 36 looks to have a 2.5" barrel.
That was originally a special order for the FBI and the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police).
Any markings?

There was a model 10 with a 2.5" barrel that was FBI and (I think) Michigan State Police issue, but not a model 36.

Nice trio from the OP, the secret is out...

Screaming deals on those, Notarex! Nice.
Perhaps you live near a LGS that can't appreciate guns that aren't made of plastic?

Expertise is what makes money. My relator knows houses, the banker knows bonds, the broker knows stocks.
I know S&Ws and occasionally find a good investment opportunity that is MUCH more interesting and fun than most other investments.
Of course, gun collecting is a poor investment stategy overall (buy for $250 and sell for $500 12 years later...not a Fortune 500 plan), but it IS an area of expertise and so doggone much fun.

Nice thread. Great deals.. I read with great interest about dream guns on this forum. Then there are small dreams that come true with nice affordable examples like the ones you picked up. Enjoy shooting them

I can feel ya man!

I feel you pain, show me a cheap revolver and I can't seem to stop myself.

 

[Shuutr]

Been there. Bought that. Meet the Smith family.

 

[notarex]

I did it again. However, this one was neither cheap nor finish challenged. Pics to follow this week sometime- check back if you like minty N frames with long tubes....

I opened this thread thinking I was going to see Rossi, Taurus, Llama, Star, etc.

Nice finds indeed. There seems to quite a few model 18s showing up lately. I need to find one soon.

AAAAHHHHH I'm not alone. Good Deals seem to pop up all at onetime for sure. If we don't grab them they be long gone for sure. But i'm hooked on the older S&W revolvers plus the new S&W N frames too. A while back i purchased 5 handguns in two weeks. Four of them were 22cal. I got a perfect 100% H&R 923 thats in chrome the seller called it nickel. Two were S&W's.

 

[notarex]

Now I get the whole 27 thing. I want them all

Darn, this thread makes me sad. Here in the People's Republik hardly any LGS carries "used" guns because of the infamous "Safe Guns List." It makes it easier for them to sell new stuff to their patrons. And we never see "cheap, neglected" guns for sale.

VOTE them out of office.

Okay, old thread............but - what you really need is an out-of-state friend to come visit once a year or so. Nothing illegal about him/her bringing gifts!!

I need to be shopping where you are shopping.

 

[jtcarm]

You are clearly an addict and guilty of possession inexpensive firearms.

Just tell us your source and we'll let you off with probation

Beautiful Smiths at great prices! Here in southern CA, I can't seem to find a model 36 for under $400. One local pawn shop wanted over $600 for a beat up model 28-2! $750 for a model 18 in rather poor condition. It goes on and on.
