I'm not a collector. Here's my Smith and Wesson inventory. Can't think of anything else I need:

10-5 4"
10-5 2"
13-4 3"
28-2 4"
60 2"
36 2"
64-2 2"
66-2 4"
317 2"
637-1 2"
640 2"

Not into multiples, and not into larger calibers. I look at that list and it makes me smile.

Nope, because I have a 28, and the 27 is too similar. Plus, if I had a nice one, I wouldn't shoot it, and I won't own a gun I won't shoot. . .

Come on, is anyone really ever done....

Nope. The revolvers I have are similar enough to the above (14, 15, and 19), or I am just not interested (17).

trust me --you just think you'r done........

I am. Every few weeks I'm done.

Nothing wrong with a proclamation of contentment.

Though, like most here, my take is; there are too many beautiful models and variations to ever quench my thirst for wheel gun.

Happy shooting to all.


Best,
Mark

Then I guess you are ready to call it a day and go shooting! Enjoy

Where is your model 18? And what about a 48?

I have a LCR in .22 mag. Never saw the need for an 18, and still don't. Not a target shooter.

Nice herd you have there, but that's how you feel now. I used to delude myself about what I had but came to learn not all addictions involve chemicals!

It is a respectable collection. Stand your ground and don't let these guys bully you.





And if you ever change you mind. We told you so!

Early on I wanted the teen collection 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 then I'm not sure what happened I went nuts and well it's all down hill.
Mark

Model 63 3"? Or a 686 4"?

Seriously, that is a good collection, one that you can show off with pride.

Famous last words!!

"Nope, because I have a 28, and the 27 is too similar."

Um...no.

"Plus, if I had a nice one, I wouldn't shoot it, and I won't own a gun I won't shoot. . . "

I have a couple of nice 27s and I shoot all of them. Don't understand your logic. Don't buy what you won't shoot...I guess...so avoid a "nice" 27 and get a shooter. Sounds crazy even when I say it. If I buy it it's a shooter.

If you're happy with what you have that's fine. But I don't see any calibers that start with 4. Sacrilege.

Dude, where are your meds.

Still missing,

M27
K22
K38
M48

Yes and a 6" N frame.

Thought I was done, and put three guns on layaway in one day!

BTW, you need a 15, 19, 27, and 65.

I hope I never get to be like you. I look at the list and I feel sad.

Who says you gotta be a target shooter to enjoy a K-22? They're great field guns, fun guns, plinkers and the perfect understudy for cheap practice for your centerfire revolvers.
Some day, some where, some body will let you shoot one and you'll think "I gotta have one of these!"

You say you're "pretty sure I'm done". But not absolutely sure are ya?
We know better.

Go ahead and ring the bell quitter.......;-).

Wish I had the ability to stop. Additionally, "need" was over at the 3" Model 13, you have really just stopped wanting...:-)

"just when you think you're out, they pull you back in." famous line from godfather 3

Yep. You keep tellin' yourself that.

Nice collection. Good luck with the quitting.

It's interesting how interests vary. I have a number of Smiths, but only two that are on your list. My collection is mostly N frames.

Done? We all thought you were healthy! Nice start on the enviable... Just keep on acquiring... There is more to love! Get well soon! Kyle

I'm finished too! Unless I see something else I like, I've quit several times.

You don't have a:

L-frame
.22 Mag
5-screw
4-screw

Can't tell if you have a nickel revolver or not. If not, add that to the list.

Wait just a darn minute, mister! If you don't have a model 17, 18, or 19, you need to go sit in the corner for a time-out. Shame on you!

Model 12 and then one really good shooter with a half moon front sight, Indiana Jones look and era about it. Toss in a flap holster and done…or try at least. Nice collection!

I always think that I am done! Who am I kidding? I do not have any multiples. Have only 1 revolver that is not a Smith. Look at Armslist daily. Have something for sale/trade on Armslist most of the time. The hunt for something new/different is a rush for me. A .44 is my next conquest. Bob

Ok , you have a nice herd.

The obvious gaps :

A full size .22lr. As noted , you don'y have to be a bullseye competitor, practice , plinking , or even small game are plenty of reasons.

Somthing with 6 or 6.5in bbl

You didn't specify , but if you don't have somthing in old school Nickle , you need one.

And are you really, really sure about avoiding big bores ? They needen't involve heavy recoil if you don't wish. .44Spl , .45acp/ar , and .45Colt are inherently mild . And .41 and .44mags cam be mid range loaded.

That's always my problem. I don't have anything I'm "looking" for, but out of the blue I spot something I want. When my wife asks me why I want it, I just tell her, "Because I don't have one."

Aw, Colt just puts a different spin on things. Don't be a hater.
What about your signature line?

Heresy I say

Different strokes and all of that.

The Model 17 is the No. 2 most important handgun on the place. Gotta have a quality .22 revolver.

Glaring omissions:

a K Frame .22 (17, 18, 617). These are some of the best plinkers ever created. Hopefully .22 lr will one day become readily available again.

an L Frame gun - the 686 is most common, but how about a 681 or 581?

a big bore N Frame - I am partial to the .45 ACP guns (1917, 25, 26, 625) but any big bore will do.

If you include autos, you should get a Model 41, too. A couple of 3rd gens would also be nice.

I have never owned an L frame. Or an M frame for that matter.

I don't currently have a revolver with a lock.

Or one with an unpinned barrel.

Never had a factory engraved S&W.

Um...I think I'm out at this point.

Oh, and I have numerous multiples.

Muss, glad you have made your decision. Takes courage to stand up and say, "I am done". Good job. (ok, one less guy to have to compete for Smiths)lol
