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

[Odinkar]

Got an M&P 15X about 3 years ago for a patrol rifle and love it. Last year I finally got my 1911e series w/ tac rail for a new duty pistol and about 6 months ago got a 2 1/2" 638 "J" frame bodygaurd for a BUG. Can't say enough about that. The extra 1/2" makes a lot of difference in sighting and ejection.

Bought a new 586-8 Classic.4". Love the gun, it is very very accurate and fun to shoot. Really like blued guns. Getting the 6" next month.

 

[VaRecon]

My latest purchase is a blued 4" pre-18 that handles like a dream.
I have been wanting a reliable 22 revolver since I bought my first S&W.
(A 681 with a buttery smooth trigger)
I have to say the gun surpassed my expectations.

New to me Smith's

this last year the have purchased 1 ea 642 with a Crimson Trace lazer, a 1980's model 14-4 w/6" barrel and just about three weeks ago I found LNIB 686 w/3" barrel. I did sell the 642 to small for my hands, The model 14 has a smooth trigger it's like glass. The 686 needed the trigger worked in a couple hundred rounds now its as crisp and smooth.I have had not problems with any of my smiths. I also have a model 60 w/ 3" barrel and a 4" 686 both great guns. The 4 " 686 did come missing the stirupp clip for the houge grip. contacted Houge they sent the part at no cost. It nice to be able to hear and say good thing about a company.

The other day I picked up a 4" 629 that came out of lay away at the local gun store, so who knows exactly how long it has been there. NICE GUN!!! The action is a little heavy but smooth. It shoots well. It is finished well. I rate it as a bit better than the 625PC I bought last year that was a little rough. The new grips that Smith used on the 629 do cover the back strap and were a little big for me, so I put a set of the rubber Hogue grips without the finger grooves, and the gun points great now.

In the hand, the 629 will feel very similar to the 625PC I compete with. Therefore, the 629 will remain mostly stock. I think it is big enough for home defense.

My most recent acquisitions are my 3913 and my 620, that I purchased just yesterday. So far I am quite pleased. Shot the 620 today and it is a keeper.

2 GNU S&W's N DA HAUS

I've bought a Governor & an L-COMP, this year. Fit, Finish & Action, are great, and what I expect from S&W, given the price & reputation. I've got an M&P, R8 lost in the backorder labyrinth. Sum-day, sum-how, some-when!

Bought a NIB Classic 4" Model 48 and glad I did.

New S&Ws . . .

In the past two months I have bought a 617-6" and a 686-4" Plus.

Love the 617; it shoots fantastic and am in the waiting period for the 686 (my shooting coach has several 686s and I often shoot the 6", 5" and 4" plus several 45ACPs including a sweet P220).

I also pick up a new Sig P220 Equinox next Monday! I really like the Sig auto as much as I like S&W revolvers. In fact, the P220 Equinox comes in a carry version and if I really like the 45 (which seems likely), I would consider getting a CCW and carrying the smaller Equinox - there're really beautiful and the P220s I've shot are all smooth and easy to re-target quickly with.

I'm also interested a S&W 38 Special and the 627 .357/38S, which I can see myself owning within the next few months.

Ahhh, cold blue/black/SS with great grips, smooth actions, and triggers that break like opera crystal from Bavaria . . . I'm so hooked!

 

[scruffy]

New 686 4" two months ago. Perfect fit and finish. Lock up is tight and the cylinder/forcing cone gap was .0045" right out to the box, (best of all my revolvers including vaunted older pre-lock models). Have 400 rounds through it at the range and it is extremely accurate and comfortable to shoot. I'm a happy camper with the new S&W.

44 Mag

Picked up a 4 inch model 629-1 and a 2 1/2 inch 29-10 the other day. Both have the great finish that I have come to expect from S & W. My guns are tools that get a lot of use no safe queens here.

 

[Skipw]

Bought a 686+P 5" and the gun is a nail driver at 25'. Love it. I have been waiting for a 460 S&W 14" since Aug. If my patience does not disappear. I also have a 629 6" Classic Hunter.

 

[Snake Plissken]

The other day I called my local firearm emporium and inquired if they had any model 27's indeed he had a 3.5 one but it just went on layaway, dang , but he said I have this really sweet model 28-2 like new with nice target stocks, box, paper and tool kit. Its in very excellent shape indeed. I know it will be a shooter for sure. Per the serial number its a 1967 DOB.

I got a 3" 3-5-7 686 version and it is great. Straight barrel, tight, perfect right out of the box. Heavy trigger but that was quickly fixed. And the lock flag had to go.

 

[slickracer]

I purchased a new 617 and a new 686+ in October and I couldn't be happier with either one. The craftsmanship is every bit as good as my 14-3, 24-3, 27-2.

One thing I really like about the older guns are the case-hardened hammer & trigger but the MIM parts are perfectly functional.

 

[dogngun]

The newest Smith I own is my Model 21-4, made in 2007. A beautiful very solid revolver. I really enjoy just having it - it has the look of the old .44 Spl revolvers, but it's stronger with a great trigger. I have a grip adapter on it, and I love the way it feels and handles.

VERY well finished...reminds me of several very old S&W's I have owned.

I was given a 642 a few years back and it has become one of my favorite guns and goes everywhere with me. I had a chance at a second one recently so now have a pair.

I haven't bought any brand-new S&W guns in years, but I did try my coworker's new Bodyguard380 last week. He loves it, and it has had no issues to-date. I liked it, too. It was accurate and reliable, and the integral laser was useful. The safety was impossible to activate unintentionally, although we would both prefer that this feature be made optional. Nice gun!

 

[BigBill]

I purchased four brand new S&W N Frane Revolvers in the past two years.

1. S&W M57 in 41mag w/6" barrel in nickel
2. S&W M58 in 41mag w/4" barrel in nickel
3. S&W M29-10 in 44mag w/6 1/2" barrel in blue
4. S&W M24 in 44 special w/6 1/2" barrel in nickel

Lets not forget there are some awesome used S&W revolvers that need good homes too. Its nice owning the S&W revolvers of the past and the present times too.
