If you walked into your LGS and he had brand new s&w N Frames of all barrel lengths marked $599/$699 tell me you would pass them up?

I purchased every N frame he had in the nickel finish.

I don't want to hear any lock bashing or crying just a plain answer.

Yes, that would be pretty tempting, but I'd probably pass too. $600-$700 could get me a really nice classic of some sort or another that would please me better in the long run. Also, I haven't bought a new gun in about 20 years and I probably never will. There's just way too many great buying opportunities out there in used, excellent or even ANIB.
 
I've tried to like N-frames for decades and have owned quite a few in .357, .44 Special, .45 ACP and .44 Magnum.

But I just can't.
 
I don't own a nickel handgun of any make or model, and I'm not about to start. But I do like N-Frames, and have probably 5 for every non-N-frame Smith (big hands). Haven't had to buy a S&W with a lock though...
 
I don't think I could do it. As it is, I'd need a derrick to help me lift and hold one steady enough to shoot.
 
Even if I wanted to stretch my budget I wouldn't do it just for N frames. I have no interest in .44 Magnums, I already have a Model 27 Classic, and I already have my grail gun, a 25-5 in .45 Colt. I like .38s and .357s, there are other K frames I'd like to have, and even L and J frames. N frames don't excite me much. I don't dislike them - they're just not my primary cup of tea.
