Favorite S&W

[John P.]

My choice would be my trusted old duty firearm - a 4 inch 686.

 

[ma deuce]

My 4" 19-4. It can do just about anything in a pinch.

 

[CatboatWilly]

Hmm........Tough question. It depends at what point in time you are asking about. First it was the K-22 then the Mdl 14, Mdl 19, a B.H.P. in 9mm (my service weapon) then the Mdl 36, the Mdl 60; Then the....Hey's what next ?
Must be ADD about Smith Revolvers, ya think ?............Then there's the Ruger MK II Competition Target (Trigger job and all) for NRA Matches....Then there is...oops out of room..........

 

[Martya]

If I could have ONLY one S&W, it would be dullh's 65....



If I could have only one of MINE it would be my 4513TSW....

But if I grabbed my 60-10 as the rest were departing me I would have no regrets.

Yeah, wishy-washy, I know.

I hate these posts....

I'd want to pick my 2-1/2 M66 no dash but the new kid on the block will push that to the curb. Earlier this year I picked up a 3" 625-4. As I shoot a revo in USPSA, reloading with moonclips causes it to come out on top.

 

[hittman77]

17-2, in the box.

 

[feralmerril]

Probably my 5" 29-2.

 

[The Highlander]

Mod 41 maybe
627 Pro Series more likely

Boy tough......."the why" would play a big role in the decision........

In the world as we know it...... my 3" 66 or my 3913NL

ITEOTWAWKI.........my customized round butt 686-0 or my PC DPA 5906...both are built like tanks w/ lots of mags or speed-loaders...LOL

Model 65-2, 3" barrel. Mine has action job, hammer bob and wood boot grips. If I could figure out how I would post a pic...

Yep, or the same one in blue, the Model 13, same barrel length and round butt. That's my daily carry, so that would be my choice. I have a 65 just like it, though.

PS I've found over the years that a blued revolver that's carried daily doesn't rust, and I live in a high humidity state, too, i.e., Florida, and have on occasion been caught in the rain. I just blow the dust and lint off it daily with a can of C02, every once in a while wipe it down, clean and lube it after range trips, and no rust develops.

I think rust mainly develops on guns that aren't in daily use, thus the greater need to leave them with a coat of oil and check periodically.

One exception would be blued guns with rubber grips. Moisture tends to accumulate and get trapped under them and cause rust, which is why I won't carry a handgun with rubber grips.

 

[mg357]

S&W Model 617-6 4 inch barrel 10 shot cylinder.

 

[A.O.]

My 500 with out a doubt!!

 

[nechaev]

My model 15. Extremely accurate, and manufactured to a standard that I rarely see in more modern revolvers.

 

[Brian41]

Since this is the carry forum my 686+ snub. I'd say my 66 snub but do like that extra shot.

 

[feralmerril]

I have a lot of fine smiths and its hard to say what my favorite is. The fact is I dont carry my favorites often as some are fairly rare high condition old ones that I hate to take out and scuff up. I therefore carry mostly a couple of cheaper but still nice models that money wise are lesser but more available. We ride our Rzr on the dusty trails a lot. I am not about to take a $2,000 favorite but do take a old M&P or a old HD I had converted to .44 special as opposed to my 5" 27-2 with my name factory gold engraved or a almost virgin 1950 target.

 

[feralmerril]

These are favorites but dont get packed much. A 25-5 and a 24-3.

 

[gwpercle]

Model 58, that's it in my avatar. That's the favorite!

[jlanecole]

The 60-7 always seems to be with me, but if there could only be one, probably the 13-1.

 

[elm_creek_smith]

It would have to be my Model 13-3. However, I carry my Model 37 more.

It's my duty backup and my every time gun.

Like everyone else, this a really tough choice. If I had to, I'd probably keep either my 15-4, 2" or my 67 no dash, 4" (sorry no pic of that one). They both shoot better than I am able, the 67 has a better DA pull, the 15 carries much nicer...

-Klaus

Added pic of the 67

 

[Jim1392]

If I could get my hands on one it would be the 640 357 Pro.

 

[Xfuzz]

A S&W I favor and it can handle most chores...

 

[OIF2]

Tough one. Probably my old LAPD-issued 67 would do. I carry the 649 daily, though.

[feralmerril]

Today its my 66-3 3" one of 300 Lew Horton special. Tonight or tomorrow it might be a different one. (ported, triljon sights etc. performance center whatever that is)

 

[PALADIN85020]

Settling for just ONE S&W is impossible. It would be akin to eating just ONE salted peanut - which would be the acknowledged criterion for a true Spartan.

[jtcarm]

The 24-3 (far right)

 

[Chris642]

If I could have only one S&W, it would be this:

A real beauty still somewhat concealable for carry and potent with the .357mag option.

 

[KSCowboy]

24-3

I always pack this one when out and about. Got a pancake holster for it should I need to be a little more discrete about going heeled. It'll be the last Smith I part with.

 

[matt2009]

I guess out of what I actually own I would have to say my Governor simply for its versatility.

Ammunition would be easy to find and not so expensive (at least for .45 acp) and it's a hand held shotgun.

A Smith I don't actually own that I would rather have if I could only have one would be a 617 ten shot just because I like target shooting.

So like a previous poster, if I could only keep one of my own guns I would have to say it would be this New Model Single Ten.

 

[45doubletap]

The 6906 holds a special place in my heart...have to go with that (sentimental reasons)
