value sleepers
Anyone care to take a guess as to what models will be hot in the future? I'm glad I got my model 28 when I did. Good examples are selling for model 27 prices.

I think the good quality K frames in .38 special are good buys currently. They seem to go for less than .357s, but the k-38s are great guns. I am talking about high condition model 14 and 15's.

Glad I bought mine when I did also! I think anything with a pinned barrel wood stocks and no lock is money in the bank.

I agree. Pre-lock will be where the money is.

Earlier snubs are where it's at right now, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and speculate that long barrel models will make a return in the future, especially "target" model versions of guns like the 14, 24, 25, 27 and 29. The snub craze is hot because they are fun, CCW is an option, and even if you aren't carrying them because of collector interest it gives you a chance to practice with a classic short barrel at the range. Longer barrel guns are reasonably priced now, but as shooters find more fun in plinking paper at longer ranges, I suspect the pendulum will shift.

I think Model 13's will eventually go higher, as well as the Model 15's and pre-Model 15's. Model 14's. Model 28's.

...not to try and sound smart=alecky....
but I don't know of ANY S&W firearm that has decreased in selling price...EVER.
They all go up in price, and as a simple matter of economics, the older models will increase in price faster than the newer ones, partly because of features (read: no safety locks) and partly because they are harder to find.
And I'm not sure even caliber really matters: I was surprised at how affordable .32 S&W ammo is for some of the older guns. But I also found out to stay away from .32 Winchester! That stuff must have gold in the casing, cuz it is crazy expensive!
Best advice: buy all you can afford to buy if the price is good. If cash gets short, you will be able to liquidate for cash fast, and you can't say that about guns from many makers.

I think the 14&15's will continue their increasing trend. As far as products loosing value the older metal auto loaders have lost a bunch of value but I suspect they will be on the increase in the future, I'd stay away from the plastic autos for at least financial investments. Tier Internet has increased public exposure to firearms and I would expect prices to continue to trend higher long term.
