"Group Shot" Photo Thread - If You Have More than One...

[OldDominion]

Nuthin' fancy here, just a bunch of plow horses. All '52s except the Pre12 (Far Right) which is a '53. According to SCSW the M&P Airweight started around C223999, this is C224203.

Love the Group Shots so far...

I keep waiting for GLL to post his herd of 38/44 Outdoorsmans that seem to fade into the distance for as far as the eye can see. So, while I'm hopefully waiting, how 'bout a few pre-war target sighted 38/44's to complement Bill's HD group...



...and some closer-ups:





Thanks for letting me share,

I love the guns, but there is some mighty fine wood in that pile-o-guns as well (I especially love the smoothies on the 27-1).

Thank you sir....yes, nice factory wood really is another addiction of mine. I can see you have the addiction too...lol!


I do like the unrelieved smoothies...


Rosewood on the 29...

And GA on the 27-1

Not S&W, but a nice group shot of some old friends.

A motley group of S&Ws and one sneaky snake.

My first group shot, when I started collecting over a decade ago.



At the time, I considered myself an "accumulator", or an "enthusiast" but certainly not a "collector". I was also only interested in the Combat Magnums and I thought the big N-Frame guns were impractical and way too large... Times Change. It has been a fun ride from my CM 357 beginnings.

Thanks for sharing the ride with me.

Not much in quantity, but I love the quality!

 

[RKmesa]

I have always considered myself a collector of K-22s, 357's and 38's. What I did not realize until I had all of them out, is that I should probably include 44 Magnums as something that I collect - I had more than I thought...

I don't have that big a "family" but here is shot of square butt J frames.

I really like the square butt grip on J frames.

It fits my hand well.

From top to bottom: 36-1, 37-0, and 31-1

My brother is an "automatic" kinda guy. So his son, my nephew, grew up shooting autos. Had never fired a revolver.

The poor boy. I felt for him. So I took him to the range. Looking at this picture, I see that not ALL of them are Smiths. Hell, some of 'em ain't even revolvers. But most of 'em are.



Going from the bottom up, there's a 29-2, a 65-5, a 544, a 22-4, a 28-2 that's been converted to 38/40, a New Departure 38 (5th Model? - last model, anyway), a 625 Model of 1988, and a Victory. Hmmmm. That's only 8 out of 17. Guess that's not really "most". But pretty close. Along with one Springfield, two Rugers, one Colt, one American Derringer, one Beretta, one Walther, one H&K and one Erma.

Any more info on the 28-2 converted to 38-40 available? Interesting choice.

This old photo is of a well known collection of Ropers. I was able to wrangle 3 or 4 away from him. I always loved this photo.

 

[357magWheelGunner]

Not all of them...but here's a few...
The Smith's...

And...
Smiths on the left...Colts on the right...

I'd say this table contains too many, but a few more would fit, so, no, it's not too many yet.

 

[Nimrod44]

Wow! Some really impressive groups here. Here is my little group of pre- 27's.
