Limiting it to .357s, my oldest would be the 27-2 and my newest would be the 686-6 Plus model. For S&W revolvers, period, my newest is my 629-6, while my oldest would be my model 1 3rd issue. Up to 150 year span. Not bad.

Yea, now we're talkin'. I have lots of good memories of Galveston Island, especially out on West Beach. The funniest was when I parked my van on the sand one night and went to sleep. Some fisherman woke me up to say I better move. The tide had come in and the water was almost to the floor. I made it out just in time.
