Welcome to the forum from Florida!

Whereabouts in Florida? I met my wife in Ft. Lauderdale back in 1990.

Welcome to the FORUM from Michigan! I too have a 4" 586 no dash. Had a 6" 686-3. Added a 686-6, 7 shot Pro Series. Wish I still had the -3. Bob

Hello. New member here from Tucson, Arizona. I've been a S&W collector for years. In fact, my first pistol purchased (as an adult) was a 686 6".

Well today I rejoined the ranks (after having no S&W revolvers) by purchasing two: 586 4" (no dash) and 19-5 4". Both were estate purchases, coming from a former police officer.

As you will see from the pics, these examples are pristine.

Honestly, I don't think he ever fired the 19-5; it's still wrapped and in the box.

I love these older examples; the bluing is absolutely gorgeous.

I'm looking forward to participating in this forum.

Welcome to the fold. I’m in Kingman, Az, and I also absolutely love the older Smiths, (especially pre 1981), when guns were made with actual blue finish (not black !), and pinned barrels. Their actions were both smooth and crisp.

Yeah. I probably make a mistake selling my 19-3 2.5".

Welcome, from a point due east of you (in Cochise County). Southeast Arizona has over the years proven (for me, at least) fertile collector's ground. I also seem to find good stuff whenever I visit the Prescott area.

Howdy from Montana. Spent a winter vacation down your way about 6 months ago. A February day in the mid 70's is a treat!

Welcome aboard from Casa Grande.

Jay.... You don't really need two of those, can I have one?

Welcome from a recent AZ transplant. I'm another resident of Cochise County. Two nice pieces you picked up! Murphy's seems to be my downfall since I arrived here.

And a Hound Dawg Howdy to you from SC!

Yeah. Murphy's do get some nice pieces in from time to time.

Great looking estate buys.
After reading all the posts, I realize we just mite be in S&W country.
Welcome from Phoenix.
