Just need the 8” nickel and I ca. put this set to bed.
Anyone have a spare?
I know where one is but it has a blued front sight. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
25’s. One missing…

That's quite a collection! You've been a busy boy during the past year or so. Good luck with your hunt...I don't know if I've ever actually seen a nickel 8-3/8" Model 25.
OP
I missed out on this one about a month ago.
I couldn’t. I was already buying two or three and I had to pass.
I would jump on it now… but I have to at least be reasonably sensible about budget
There will always be another!
Where's the fun in that?...

OP
I would if I could, and I do when I can.Where's the fun in that?...
I have a list.
I have a 6” and 4” 57 in blue…
This means I will be wanting four other 57s.. right?
Since I’m not going shorter than a 4 inch barrel on any model.., this should be doable in the next year or two.
I’ll be looking for a 6 inch nickel 28..,
It’s all about finishing sets, as I’m sure you are aware.
The tough one will be getting nickel 53’s.
I have not seen many of those, and they go for higher prices.
I still need an 8 inch 53 in blue!
It is like collecting Russian dolls.

AWESOME collection brotha!!
Every time I feel bad about my sickness, I come here and see that I am not the sickest kid on the block. Y'all make me feel great!!
I was trying to complete my HE & RP 32 Long's when I realized that the 6" HE didn't look right to me, so I am not pursuing those 2, but still need the 3 1/4" RP models. This is such a fun sickness.

When you are done gathering all the 57's you
will have to start on the 58's. S&W made it easy for you. 4: barrel only.

You know I’ll be going there.
Spoken like a man who's never cradled a 3 1/2" N frame in his hands, and felt the warmth and love emanating therefrom...And then you'll find that no matter how many of the .357's you surround yourself with, you feel incomplete without a .44 Special...

Hey Truckman,
I don't see an 8 3/8" NICKEL 27-2 in that photo. Are you implying that you have completed the 27-2's??

I hope you'll let me know if you ever come across a Nickel 6.5" Model 24. (You guys here are probably so sick of me harping on that.) SorryI would if I could, and I do when I can.

I already figured out that once you have everything you want, you don’t have everything you want.

Yup, that was me with my M-29/629's. All 3 finishes. Picked up a blued 24 which led to a 624 and now the ever elusive Nickel 24.
I get that then I'm done.....
