I think i have a new sickness..revolvers!

[Brew]

I have been getting into revolvers lately. I never had much intrest in them, even with my 627PC sitting at home. Recently i picked up a 66-6 2.5 inch, and completely fell in love with the thing. Ever since there has been an obsession in me for revolvers. Of course, i thought i was done until a freind of mine offered me his 686 4inch for a killer price, so i snagged it too. When will it all end.
Anyway, I dont see a gallery thread on here, so i thought i would post some pics in here, and see how you guys thought i did.
First up, is the safe queen. (sorry crappy pic, i havent had time to shoot it with my new camera)

Next up is the 66. I added the Ahrends grips, and it came with a Mitch Rosen 5jr holster.

Last but not least, is the 686. This has been the best deal so far, i got all sorts of ammo, reloading equipment and supply's and it has the most beautiful trigger i have felt on any revolver. Infact, both of the other ones were sent out on the spot to have the same gun smith work the triggers. (sorry she is dirty, i just go home, and wont have time to clean her today, plus i kinda liked the used look)

(PS, if this is in the wrong section, let me know and i will move it!)

Then many more will follow, im a bit of a photographers and pistols of all flavor are my favorite subjects.
I post alot over at sigforum but they have a designated gallery, so i was hoping i was doing the right thing here.

I have a special spot in my heart for my 686 as it was the first handgun I purchased. Yours has more soot than mine does at the moment, but she'll clean up good!

Welcome to the obsession of the revolver. I personally owned mostly semi autos and 2 revolvers. I got into Law enforcement and discovered the beauty of the revolver and how much more accurate they are..So I ended up selling all my semiautos and buying all revolvers...LOVE THEM...they have so much power and beauty...congrats on the obsession and the beautiful pieces.

It's a curse I tell ya!

Well, Brew, if the first picture is "crappy" I'd be pleased to produce crappy pictures.

Nice guns and nice photography. Don

Not a curse but an incurable addiction. Every time I buy one I say to myself (and my skeptical yet incredibly patient wife): "this is the last revolver I'll ever need". That's usually good for about 6 - 8 weeks and then I inevitably start rationalizing why I need another. Up to 5, so far, not counting the three that I've sold relatively recently.

Revolvers ain't a sickness....they're the Remedy...the only therapy for this kind of chronic condition is to continue the therapy...

Quit drinking 2 years, 5 months and 28 days ago, but who's counting. Best thing I have ever done. Now spend my booze money on S&W's, my collection is up to 14. They are as addictive as alcohol but less side effects and a hell of lot more fun collecting and shooting! Down to three semi's. A SA .45 that I have modified for CC, a Sig 228 and my favorite a 77 Browning HP (they are the only semi's I trust my life to). Happy shopping and welcome to S&W Anonymous! You'll have plenty of fellow addicts here to keep you on the straight and narrow and monatarily challenged.

Great looking revolvers! You are doing well. Really like the 66. You need a 3" to go with it. My 66-2 is my all time favorite. Sorry guy's, have to put her pic up again.

 

[deanodog]

It's easy to quit. I have done it lots of times.

 

[twomoons]

deanodog lololol
right on brother

 

[Seaforth]

Neat! I have the S&W Proseries Model 60. Perfect bed side companion.

 

[texagun]

There is no cure. Once you're hooked, it's a permanent affliction. Wait until you you become addicted to the really old ones..........

 

[Revolver King]

I know the feeling and these are just a few.

 

[pred]

And then the little ones!

There is NO Cure....sorry...your terminal.

 

[ENH]

Welcome. Lots of us here feel that all your revolvers should look like that 686 at the end of a hard day.

 

[who dey]

Wow...those are some beautiful guns guys, all of them! Quite impressive collection you guys have also.
