How about a new school N frame beauty contest?

[GF]

Here's a coupla' 625's for the mix.

I do like a .45acp in a full moon clip!

A little humble compared to some of these beauties posted already, but nevertheless, my favorite N-frame of all time. I once had a 1918 built M1917, but was forced to sell it (a rather tragic story, but I had no choice) and I decided to replace it with this 22-4. I really wanted one of those case hardened versions. I've thought about sending mine to Turnbull to have mine done, but can't decide; I really like it as is

Its beautiful just like that. I like the case hardened look on hammers and triggers, I haven't made up my mind about case hardening on an entire gun. I am on the fence.

Your Smith, looks the way a blued Smith should look.

Thanks Tom, I concur!

Does 80s qualify as new?

 

[Cal44]

Here is my 657-3 Classic Hunter.

Does it quality as "new school"?

 

[r3captain]

Think this'll qualify for new school. 25-13 Mtn. Gun

The new ones get little love here, so if yours looks good to you or there's a nice picture of it, let's see it.

Looks like you will need to explicitly define what you had in mind for "new guns". I took it as post ILS introduction under current management...the series that "can't get no respect" but might actually be great guns of which owners are proud.

 

[at_liberty]

I'm proud of my new school 627 Pro, even though it comes with the lock, MIM parts and an unconventional slab-side barrel. Some call it an abomination, but I love it and will never part with it.

Nice! You should be proud.

 

[Rick_A]

The lock, non pinned, non recessed, frame mounted firing pin, MIM, and stainless guns all get a good amount of disregard on this site.

But, anything that fits in this forum (80's and up) is fine by me.

629-4 Backpacker .44 Mag

657 .41 Magnum with square butt

610-2 10mm I recently traded off (I can't do moon clips)

The rare 657-4 Lew Horton .41 Magnum

 

[M2MikeGolf]

Just for the record, the N frame I was forced to give up. I guess this qualifies as old. I'm a big fan of it, but I'm a big fan of "new" as well. I am as fond as my 22-4 that I replaced my M1917 with, but I still wish I could have kept that old warhorse!

 

[Redlegvzv]

How could anyone call this beauty an "abomination"?


Or this beauty...

 

[NOTREDAME]

Here is a couple of the new ones I like, a pair of 45's

OK, I'll come in and play.

Here are my S&W revolvers:

First up is my old 27-2. It doesn't actually qualify for this thread except that the stocks it is wearing came off of a 29-3 I no longer have:


Next is my 50th Anniversary of the 357 Model 27-3 I bought a few months ago. It is still unfired except for the 3 test rounds that S&W fired in it. I have it hid from myself in the top of the closet to help me resist shooting it:


Finally, here is my 629-3 I bought off GB on 10/31 and got in last week. I am quickly falling in love with it. It's not dressed up but I do foresee some nice Ahrends Retro Targets in the near future for it:
