My name is Chris. I too am from California, but please don't hold that against me. I did not vote for the fools that run our state government... but I digress.
The portion of my arsenal consisting of Smith & Wesson products is small, but growing. I'll add a photo in the next day or two but in order of their acquisition, they are:
1. S&W Model 3000, field grade. 30" full-choke vent rib barrel. Two years ago I was fortunate to find an 18" POL. CYL. beautifully-blued (like the rest of the gun) from Don Corson in AZ.
2. Model 60-15 "J-Magnum" frame .357 3" barrel. I purchased this one to shoot .38s and have found .38 Special +P a near perfect load for it. I have dies and will begin reloading for it soon.
3. Model 351 PD - Bill Jordan's brainchild? Who knows! 10.8 ozs (empty) and 7-rounds capacity .22 WMR is a real popper.
4. M&P R8 - 5" barrel, 8-shot cylinder, scandium N-frame... the Triple Lock for the 21rst Century?
I've [Edit: a deal pending] on a Model 696!
Thanks for having this great forum and incredible resource for S&W.
