My Modest Collection
Here is my small collection: two 65-3s (one 3" and a 4"), a 66-7, a 60-14 and a 640-3. The wood grips are Ahrends Tacticals. The grips on the 640 are the orginal Uncle Mikes.

GF, I have a Desantis 001-13 which fits the 3" 65-5 perfectly. I have Galco, H819WC - SM112, for the 2 1/2" 66-7. Those were the hard ones to fit -- there are plenty of good holsters for the 4" K-frame and the J-frame snubbies.
Sportsterguy, how right you are about these S&W wheel guns growing on you. Once when I was teaching the shooting portion of a basic handgun class a lady asked why anybody would ever want a revolver when semi-autos were easier to reload and had more ammo capacity besides? At the time I had a bunch of semi-autos but only one revolver, my model 60 (more as a demo than anything I really shot all that much). Even though I was clearly a semi-auto guy I wanted to give a thoughful answer. I pointed out that while some of the folks with semi-autos were having failures to feed (mostly limp-wristing issues) or little snafus involving trying to shoot the gun with safeties still on, the two people with revolvers -- just kept pulling the triggers and their guns kept going bang -- it's simplicity versus ammo capacity.
That was it -- I talked myself into it. The next time I saw a cop trade-in at my local gun store I bought it -- I lucked into the 3" 65-3. I have been a big revolver guy ever since.

And you have to be very carefull keeping them away from each other in the safe, ------ they have a bad habit of multipling when you aren't watching. Before you know it you need a bigger safe. Nice start to a really great habbit.

Nice collection of stainless .357s. My 2" 60, 3.25" 66 and 4" 686 agree with your tastes. Now if I can find a suitable 627 5", I will consider my stainless .357 collection complete (J, K, L & N frames in 2", 3", 4" & 5" respectively).

JDW250: I'm a budget buyer -- cop trade-ins and used stuff that I can shoot. I would love to get a 627 but I never see them -- or at least not with a price tag I thought I could explain to my wife!!
