Greetings from Virginia
I just wanted to introduce myself here. I've been spending some time on the other S&W forum and thought it was time to sign up here and say hello.
For most of my life I've owned only one Smith & Wesson - the 1978 Model 63 shown below. After my dad passed away in November I found myself the owner of about 20 more Smith & Wesson guns (mostly revolvers from the 70s and early 80s).
I'm looking forward to contributing what little I can to this wonderful and knowledgeable community.
Best,
Matthew

Welcome to the forum from Texas, Matthew.
Nice Model 63. I also have a Model 63 from 1978.
Treasure the guns your Dad had collected.

Welcome from Virginia
Welcome to the Forum from Hanover VA. You have already learned one of the basic "rules" with your first post. The "rule" is no pics, then it didn't happen. Nice Model 63...when you get a chance post some pics of your inherited treasures.......we love to drool.

Welcome from North Chesterfield. Take your coat off. Stay a while. Pull up a chair, sit on the floor. Coffee is almost ready. Get yourself a cup out of the sink...NOT that one. That's the dogs, and he's funny about who drinks out of his cup.

Hey Matthew, you’re only an hour up I-81 from me. The next time you come down to Roanoke, we can do lunch and talk S&W!

Sounds good. I work in Fairfield, so I'm almost halfway there on a work day. I've been meaning to take the kids to the Transportation Museum one day soon.
