You got me!
I'm not a True S&W Fan!
Just an old revolver guy trying to hold on to the past!

I guess I'll turn in my secret decoder ring. 
If you are starting out with those three, and one is a Mod-52, you are a confirmed S&W Fan. They are all beauties. Good start. Best.
I have quite a few S&Ws, but none on your list. They look like very nice guns.
I would vote for M19, M27, and M29 as essentials.

No M29 but does 6 HP get in in the club?

Just got a call from my FFL Phil Bozza - my 640 just arrived.
He called it a 'boat anchor.'
But he's a 1911 guy.

I'm not with ya, but I got a bunch more than you are showing. None of which have an internal lock. Perhaps I qualify as a S&W guy. Ya tell me.
Ah, darn, I don't have a model 52 or a model 547
I do have a model 53. Oh and a 500, some 45s, some 44 mags, 44 specials, a 44 Russian, a 41 mag, some 357s, some 38s, some 32s and several 22s. From top breaks, premodels, no dashes to dashes, scandium, stainless, blued. X frames, N frames, L frames, K frame, J frames and I frames. Stockers to heavily modified. No S&W semi autos
I am not looking for a 52 or a 547. Think I got my bases covered though. Guess I could find a 32-20, 9mm and 10mm revolver. But, I think I am about through gathering.

steelslaver, my circle also is now closed. Anything from here on is duplication. Nothing wrong with duplications, just that my "Gotta Haves" are inside the Gates.
...I have a model 53... but, neither of the others.
I was thinking it's hard to be a "True S&W Fan" without:
1) a 357 Magnum (i.e. Registered Magnum, Non-RM, Model 27, 27, 19),
2) a K-22 Long Rifle version (Outdoorsman, Masterpiece, Model 17, 18),
3) a 44 Magnum (Model 29, 629),
4) some version of the K-Frame Military and Police (1905, Victory Model, Model 10 etc...).
But then, I'm probably showing my bias just a bit...

For sure the OP is all alone. While I consider a .44 Magnum a waste of time that is quite personal to me. MANY MANY S&W aficionados require a M29 or M629 in their starter pack.
But, hey, I might be a S&W aficionado with this list or, as I think Col. Crittenden calls it, an aficionado in training:
M 32
M 649
M 642
M 10 (at least eight of those in various configurations)
M 12
M 15
M 19 (2.5" and 4" and a 2" on the way)
M 27 Classic
M 25 (.45 Colt beats .44 Magnum all day every day in my book)
M 64 (2 of those)
M 65 (coming soon)
.38-44 HD
M 586
M 686+ (3 variations)
I know. I need to get a life.....
And, hey, one of those new fangled .22 revolvers is headed my way, too.
Do automatic pistols count?

Every S&W collector needs a model 10 or 15.
