Nice collection. Me?, I got a thing for 1911's and N frames. I like calibers that have 4's and 5's in them.

I know everyone has heard this before but I might be at the end of my collection.
It will depend on the M19 I'm going to look at. If I'm not interested this might be it.

That's really nice.
I looked at soo many guns in the last year I can't remember much about the M19.
I can't remember if it was blue, SS or nickle or how long the barrel is.
There must have been something about it that didn't catch my fancy. I did hold it in my hands and look it over.
Maybe too much radiation to the brain. LOL

"Some" Nice group.
I don't have one snub nose. I don't know if my 640-1 or my 642-1 Airweight are considered snub nose or not..

I have one Ruger - a 1022 rife and one Colt - a 1911A1 and a DSA FN FAL. Everything else are S&Ws.

I have a couple of 2 1/2"19s, one nickel, one blue. Just beautiful guns. Problem is, you start focusing on 19s, with the many model changes and variations and all, you've dropped into a black hole!

Mine haven't been model specific but rather ones that I held in my hands and liked.
The 28-2 was a gift. The 640-1 was the first gun I ever bought.
The 60-14 I recently added was offered to me at such a ridiculous price there was no way I could say no.

There isn't one gun in your photo that I wouldn't happily take off your hands. Especially that 27. Just beautiful.

I'm pretty fond of that one too. I just had the rear sight blade replaced and haven't ever shot it but I am looking forward to slinging some lead thru it.
I think its nice having the M27-7 to compliment my M27.

Of my ( too many) S&W revolvers; my favorite ( not-for-sale safe queen) is this "Model of 1953", ca. 1955, early Chiefs Special with genuine India Sambar Stag grips.

Yeah I got a Thing for 1911s too. Unfortunately I sold off most of my Fine Vintage S&Ws to get the 1911s

THAT'S A VERY NICE COLLECTION. OTHER THAN ON A M686+ MOUNTAIN GUN, I CAN'T RECALL EVER SEEING A M686 WITHOUT A FULL BARREL UNDER LUG......
ALSO, EACH OF THOSE REVOLVERS SO EQUIPPED, HAS A VERY ATTRACTIVE SET OF WOODEN GRIPS.....

Thank you. The 686-6 is a Stocking Dealer Exclusive and there were less than 400 of them made. That's probably why it has a 1/2 lug.
All the grips are the ones that originally came on the guns.
I have Pachmayrs for the 686 and the 28-2.

My favorite shooter is my 15-3 in nickel with standard magnas. Using 158 grain LRN pills makes this thing tight and fun to shoot. I've always liked the sights on it also.

I have a small selection of calibers.
I din't even own one .22 pistol. Yet.
1 .38 Safety - haven't shot but plan on shooting it
One .38 Special - my 642-1 - this is my EDC.
1 .44 Mag - that I'm sure I'm going to unload.
A 25-3 that I will never shoot

That's a nice looking gun.
I'm thinking I would like a M66 with a 4" barrel.

I only have one 1911. This Colt Government Model Series 80.
Its never been shot and I'm not so sure I ever will.
I've looked at and held a lot of 1911s and other .45 autos over the last year. I might pick up another one but I'm not too sure just yet.

I can see why its a safe queen. I have 2, at least one for sure.
This one for sure and my Colt 1911A1 will most likely remain unfired for as long as I own it.

Everyone of those are nice looking.
Your pictures are proof that I need to step up my gun photography.

I still have only one of my favorites, the dashless 640 I've carried for years. My all-time favorite was a blue four-inch 15-3 bought unfired from an estate consignment. My son has it now. Sweetest trigger I ever shot on any gun.
My other favorites included a four-inch 10-5, a 469, an immaculate pre-B CZ-75, and <blush> a Glock 19.

I don't have one snub nose. I don't know if my 640-1 or my 642-1 Airweight are considered snub nose or not..

You have 2.
