You guys make me feel better about my purchases. Lol. I think I've bought 13 S&W since the first of April.
I think I'm up to 54 now.

The 9422s come in 22Mag.
Not cheap, but, IMHO, a cut above the others.
Saddle ring, not in pic.
Then there's the Big Horn 460 lever rifles, to accompany the 460 in your future.
Remember, #9 is cheaper by the gallon or drum.

This is my first post and a good place for me to start even though I am a year behind I am a man of few words, and I do more listening than speaking. I bought my first S&W magnum in 1994 a 629-4 classic 8 3/8th inch. I live in PA, and I have taken several whitetail deer with this revolver using open sites. I have researched the development of the magnum cartridge with D.B. Wesson, Elmer Keith, Bill Jordan, Phillip Sarpe, and Skeeter Shelton. Certainly, an eventful cast of men. Since, 1994, I have acquired several more K,L.N frame frame 357mag, 41mag, and 44mag revolvers. In 2023, I got a C&R FFL03, and started collecting K22s and all N frame Magnums, pre model through -2s. As for the original post...... How bad does the sickness get?.... for me, all barrel lengths and 3Ts if made.... pretty bad!
I got to 4 coffin sized safes safes stuffed full before I slowed down! 
Nice Picture!

29 revolvers since January? I wish I could say that, I got 2 this year so far and thought I'd went over board. Don't discount the 3 inch guns especially in 357, very handy all around guns. I love my 3 inch magnums! A 3 inch 13 or 65 is at the top of my want list.
If you'd like to donate some of those to the "broke people need guns too" fund I'd be happy to take one or two off your hands haha!

I would like to have an example of about any gun. Enfield, Mauser, .30 carbine, Luger..... the beat goes on.

Wow, after reading through this post, I thought I was bad buying 6 S&W revolvers and 2 S&W autos the past 6 months.
OP
I know I have it bad right now but I’m just happy to read that there are folks worse than me.

Very bad if your pockets are deep enough and you have a place to keep the "medication" (more of them).

I'm pushing 75 and feel the same as you. I used to enjoy shooting full-power .44 Magnum through my 629 and 29. No more. Pain is not fun and I do not feel I have to prove anything to myself or others. .22 LR has become VERY enjoyable!
Wrong choice of adjectives, sir!..."Bad" and "worse" are not properly descriptive of any activity which brings you enjoyment...And even being addictive as our activities certainly are, as long as we are in control, and not controlled, there is no problem...As for myself, I've used my Smithalyzer to keep track of my numbers since 2020 when I kickstarted my habit again...I just checked this morning's numbers and find my highest yearly number was 133 in 2021, and the lowest number of acquisitions was 37 in 2023...So far this year the count is 16...Take note that these numbers do not reflect dispositions...
As long as you're not denying the necessities of life to those who depend on you, you should have no worries...

I'd say you've got it. It's difficult to cure. 80% of it is mental. The rest of it is in your head. The only known cure is Taoism.

I bought two S&W's last week and am looking for another one right now. Eight in the last 3 months. My objective is to get the guns I want before I semi-retire. Then I will just need to buy ammo & minnows!

Colt, Ruger and now Kimber makes revolvers too.
Sargent,
I know this man, I speak with him often, he has without a doubt, the highest Smith & Wesson fever you will ever witness……….
Plus, don’t give him any ideas
