Hello from Tucson, AZ

[SE31193]

Hello. New member here from Tucson, Arizona. I've been a S&W collector for years. In fact, my first pistol purchased (as an adult) was a 686 6".

Well today I rejoined the ranks (after having no S&W revolvers) by purchasing two: 586 4" (no dash) and 19-5 4". Both were estate purchases, coming from a former police officer.

As you will see from the pics, these examples are pristine.





Honestly, I don't think he ever fired the 19-5; it's still wrapped and in the box.



I love these older examples; the bluing is absolutely gorgeous.

I'm looking forward to participating in this forum.

Welcome from Dewey AZ! Nice wheel guns. I like ones rough around the edges I can shoot and carry without worry. Compared to when I lived on the east coast, it seems S&W revolvers are hard to find around here!? Is that your experience also?

Welcome from Texas! Those are some very nice looking pieces. I really like that 586. I need to get one for my 686.

Welcome to the forum and those are two nice S&Ws. If you are going to hang around here, watch out, they will probably multiply.

Two very nice revolvers, welcome from Gilbert, AZ. I was just in Tucson for a gun show last month.

Thanks. Sorry, that gun shows in Tucson suck.

Welcome! Those are some really nice acquisitions. I lived in Tucson for about three years. Until COVID. There are some great places to shoot down there. It's easy to spend all day at a range even when the temperature hits 90 but no humidity.
