If you bought a new S&W recently and love it... tell us!

I bought some Ahrends grips from a member here and got to take them for a test drive yesterday.

25 yards offhand, 2 handed 1 cyl + 1 one handed offhand/target. New grips made a huge difference for me. Could do without the half mile of overtravel in the trigger but I think I'll keep it.

My only new ones are a Model 21 nickel 4 inch which is WONDERFUL. Extremely accurate and finish is great. Plus an M&P 45 Compact which has just about caused my Glock 30 to become a safe queen. Very pleased.

1911 Pro Series 9MM. In my 50 years of shooting, this may be my all time favorite. Good looks, fantastic fit, finish and function....amazing workmanship, and best of all....it is ACCURATE
 
I picked up a new to me 340 SC that was shot only 10 times. This is my first J frame and I love it! I have two holsters an Uncle Mikes for pocket carry and a Mitch Rosen from Dillion , very comfortable hoslster. I also like the pocket carry option. This is my second Smith my other is an older 629 Classic which I would never part with.
 
Found a new Model 63 3" that followed me home...my first j frame...looking for a 60 pro now.
 
Most recent for me are:

S&W1911sc black...fantastic shooter
686SSR perfect right out of the box

They join a:
686 midnight finish 4"
642 with trigger lightened
unfired 25-2 W/presentation case

Still looking for a 625pc............ ;)

Bought a 617-6

Just bought a new 617-6, 10 shot, a couple months back and I'm extremely happy with it.
Kept going to the LGS and walking out with nothing then suddenly got the ***'s and plunked down too much money.
Now I have something I can use to get me better with my 629's without spending a arm and a leg.

Very happy!!!!
 
Picked up a new 642 this weekend. I've decided to ditch the little semis for the summer and go snubby. So far very impressed. I had no idea how much easier it is to carry a snub. Paid too much for it in a gun store but I've had such a hard time finding one I just pulled the trigger when I actually was able to put my hands on one.
 
637 PC

Just bought a new 637 for my wife, her hands could not grip and work a .380 semi-auto slide. Beautiful gun, even better trigger! I've had to download some ammo for her, and stocked it with Hornady Critical Defense rounds for carry. The SA trigger is scary light, strictly range use only, but the DA pull is butter smooth and light (for DA) also.

Then I had to go and spoil its looks with Crimson Trace boot grips.
 
My Model 60-14 is the latest S&W to follow me home. 3" barrel, adjustable sights, full lug. Very nice gun, typical Smith & Wesson quality, slick as snot, smooth, excellent workmanship. And it puts those bullets where the front sight says they're going to impact.

I've been collecting, selling and trading Smith & Wessons since 1979 and never seem to have enough. Love 'em!

Had to send one back two years ago (a 642) because the cylinder did not line up when you peered down the bore, you could see a crescent moon shape of the cylinder's face instead of a straight through bore. That was on initial inspection after purchasing new. If I had shot it-OUCH!

I later figured out just why this gun was the way it was. There was a young chap working at the gunshop counter with the bad habit of slamming revolvers open and shut like he saw on TV. Explains why S&W had to replace the crane and fitted a new cylinder as well, just in case. They turned the gun around very quickly and she's an accurate shooter. I have to agree S&W CSRs are great!
 
I picked up this 1974 model 28-2 6" a couple months back (original box). My first "old S&W".

The watch is my first automatic. A Seiko from the same year and the knife was my first purchase from LL Bean, 1978+/-.

M&P22 Pistol

Recently picked up an M&P22 Semi Automatic Pistol and I'm really impressed with it. I've always been a huge fan of Smith & Wesson Wheel Guns but was never really into their Semi Autos aside from an older piece chambered in .22 that I no longer have. Picked up the .22 to take the kids to the range and I'm pleasantly surprised with every aspect of it.
 
Bought a new M&P pro C.O.R.E put a delta point on it, bought 2 airweights for my wife and daughter-in-law, a M&P 22, and just bought a way cool 686 plus 2.5 snub from a board member. Lot of smiths for a old school colt fan !

1 st 2 rounds from the cyl were a 'little' low, spotter helped walk me up with them. 100 yards, 629 w/ Ahrends, irons, from a sand bag shooting reloads. I love this gun!

Within the past couple of months I have went revolver crazy, I purchased a 627 Pro, 686 Plus 3 inch, and a 340 PD. I can't say enough about the quality of all of them. The accuracy is unbelievable. I have always been a semi-auto guy. These are the first revolvers I have owned and I love them. I shoot them much better than my Glocks and 1911's for some reason. I have officially crossed over LOL
 
Brand-new 67 - purchased April, 2013

What a wonderful shooter and a gorgeous-looking gun to boot! Only one time at the range so far, as we've been out of the country for 6 weeks. No QC issues, it feels and shoots perfectly.
