My last revolver purchase is a new S&W m24/6.5” 44 special in nickel. It’s the last nickel finish revolver my dealer had. The blue case was covered in dust it was there so long I think it grew roots. I need to post pics.

642 pro. It’s the only thing I could find without a lock.

Just picked this 329pd up but also have a 629 heading to my ffl. I’ll post a picture of the 629 when I pick it u.

442 sans lock. Now my EDC.

As much as I love Smith and Wesson, I don't see me purchasing any new guns from them.

Barring wholesale removal of the revolver lock or the reintroduction of metal frame center fire
pistols.

My last purchase of a new revolver was in 2003, a 325PD with a hole in the left side. I fixed it. Many years later, S&W replaced a problem revolver with a 22-4 1917 reproduction made in 2007. It, too, had a hole in the side which was promptly fixed.

Other than that, I haven't gotten my hands on a new revolver since 1995, although my 1983 Model 37 looked like new when I bought it in the 21st century, except for the few rounds I fired through it to check POI.

Unless I change residence and buy a Casull in .22LR, I'll probably never buy another new revolver.

I just bought a new 4" 686-6 plus 2 days ago. I prefer the 6 shot but
It was the first new 4" I've seen in months. I also picked up a 6" 57 classic and a 6.5" 29 classic a month ago at the same store. It was nice to see them hitting the shelves again.

A 6” 686-6 last year. Great shooter!

My purchase of a new S&W revolver was in 2014 when I purchased a 642-1 (no lock). I stick mainly with used pre-lock models. I recently bought a M-36 made in 1963, that was in excellent shape.

I bought a new 1956 Pre 29 in the black box about four years ago

Just sitting here scratching my head and asking myself if I've EVER bought a brand new revolver. Pretty sure the closest I've ever come is the Ruger Blackhawk in .327 Federal that was advertised as "new" on Gunbroker but definitely had signs of having been fired. Regardless, I'm still not sorry for buying it, though.

I will admit that it's been difficult NOT breaking down and ordering a new 640 Pro, though!

I’m waiting on my new 442 no lock to arrive from S&W - warranty replacement for my cracked frame early 642. They wanted to replace with a 642 but I wanted the black finish.

1975, Model 15 Combat Masterpiece. Sold it a year later at the behest of ex-fiancée. She didn’t like handguns. Probably six months later we parted ways.

My latest brand new S&W revolver purchase was model 13-4 in middle of 1990's



I have had bought one new Taurus 941 .22 WMR also in middle of 1990's, but I sold it because it was wrong brand

Just picked up a 586 6”. Really good condition except for a bit if rust near muzzle. I hope to shoot it today.

I would post pictures, but how do I do it?

I was minding my own business when this caught my eye. Did I mention I have a weakness for three inch revolvers?

I don't recall, but nice shooter.

I bought a 586 and a 686 about 12 yrs ago never shot the 686 ,and fired the 586 twice , sent them both down the road 10lbs trigger, IL I tried to warm up to never could.

I honestly can't remember........

My newest isn't S&W, but rather my first Colt. It is a 6" new model Anaconda. But it has a companion in the pic with my 629-3 Classic. And I already have an order in with John Culina for some better grips to replace the rubber.

My last purchase of a brand new in the box Smith & Wesson revolver was my Model 624 Combat 3" in 1985 for $383 delivered.

A 6" 586 no dash in great shape and a Ruger Vaquero in .44 magnum are my latest 2

The only new gun I have purchased was a pre ban 92fs, best I can remember it was a bit under 600$ in the early 90s.

My last "new" S&W revolver purchase was in 2021. It was a "new in the box" 27-2 with a 5-inch barrel made in 1975. My previous "new" buy was a 29-2 with a 8 3/8" barrel made in 1978.

Just today bought a smith 340 m&p. No internal lock.
It’s the first smith I have bought made after the mid 90’s

Two months ago I bought a Ruger Redhawk 4' barrel that fires 45acp and 45 Colt (Long Colt). Have to use moon clips when firing 45acp. Fun pistol. That matches up with a 4" S&W Model 625 that eats 45acp. Interesting pair of revolvers.

My first at 18 years old a S&W 13-2 357 magnum in 1974 Brand new! About 40 revolvers later they are all used since that purchase. I am not a fan of new models and am interested in older models.
