New guy from WI
Hello my name is Beau!
I've joined this forum to hopefully gain knowledge and advice regarding older model S&W revolvers. I recently garnered interest in owning one, or several, of these historic pieces. So hopefully I can learn the market, the design, and the history of these older models to make an informed purchasing decision.
Ice breaker: My favorite gun in my collection is my Staccato P that my wife gave to me on our wedding day. What about you?

Howdy Beau,
Welcome to the forum, fellow cheesehead here from the Fox Valley. You've come to the right place to learn about S&Ws. This place is a gold mine of information when it comes to buying, selling and all things S&W.
Favorite gun in my humble collection is this Model 29 no dash.

Welcome aboard from coastal North Carolina. My favorite revolver is one I carried for more than 24 years - a nickel 4" Model 19-4.

Welcome to the Forum from Pennsylvania, Beau.
You ask about a favorite, and I am torn trying to pick one or the other. It depends on the day perhaps.
Anyway, you like older S&W's, so here are a few that have been around for a bit.....
Baby Chiefs Special that shipped in 1951 and a 1917 shipped September 1918..... Kind of a 'father & son' picture.

Welcome from yet another Wisconsinite, just west of the Fox Valley. My favorite is the same it's been for years: the next one!

Welcome from northern NYS.
Favorite Smith. I got a few for different reasons, so I guess my Model 547 is high on the list--

I'm going to guess it was a duty carry gun. Wish I could've been working during that era, rather than the one we're in now.

Welcome to the forum from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Favorite? I suppose that would be my first contact with S&W. A model 10-5 department issued revolver. I still have that old beauty, a bit worn, but still a beauty in my eye.
