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

I just bought a 67-6 that I haven't had a chance to shoot yet. But it seemed like the perfect companion to my 15-5, which I really love, so I expect I'll love this one too. FWIW, I probably shoot the 15-5 better than anything else I own. If the 67-7 is as good then what's not to love?

I added two new ones last month, a 686-6 and a 627 PC. Both were accurate out of the box and have excellent DA/SA action...smooth and crisp. The 627 has a slightly lighter pull (10lbs/4lbs vs 11lbs/4lbs) but I enjoy them both equally...in fact I enjoy all of my revolvers and will likely add more in the future.

That's a nice beautiful collection on S&W revolvers you have.

Got the 586 early January as a week late Christmas present, traded for the 4" 686 no dash a few weeks later, then bought the 3" 686+ 3-5-7 series a few weeks after that. Out of the three, that 586 is the best shooter with the better DA trigger (that old 686 takes the best SA trigger though). Everytime I go to the range, that 586 seems to be the most fired. Family members love it, and think I am crazy for using the 686+ as my truck gun. Only difference I have noticed between the two new guns and the 1984 made 686 is the tiny gap between the barrel and frame on the new guns that is not there on the older gun. Still trying to figure out how BOTH the new guns were EXACTLY the same price?

Hello All. New guy here. I lurked for a while and joined a few months ago. I bought a brand new 617 in February. I've put over 1500 rounds through it without (knock on wood) any of the issues I've read about. I feel like I have a classic wheel gun that my unborn grandchildren will one day enjoy.

Bought myself a 642-1 back in December as a Xmas gift. It does not disappoint. Great little / reliable, go anywhere gun.

Although I swore I'd never buy a Smith with IL, I now have 3:

627 2 5/8 PC
329PD
500 4"

Of the 3, the 329PD is currently the only one I bought for its utility (backpacking), the other 2 were impulse buys; however, I often ccw the 627. The quality, fit and finish meet my expectations. The only issue I've had was with the 500, whose hammer broke in 3 pieces while dry firing.

It was a March weekend in Ohio. There was a gun show. Had to go. Sold a couple of things, so some money was there. Saturday bought a 66-2, 2.5".Went back Sunday, and traded into another gun I was fondling Sat. It is a 686-6, 5" Pro-Series. Both have had their rubber grips removed. Shown in the pictures are current wood stocks. Both performed great at the range! Bob

I'm new to handgunning, having purchased my first, A Springfield range officer in 45 ACP 2 1/2 years ago. I then inherited a Taurus model 66 in 357 magnum along with a high standard 22. Both of these guns are great shooters especially the Taurus in spite of its lack of pedigree. I've wanted a model 29 for the better part of 40 years. I finally got one three weeks ago. These are my first shots ever of a 44 magnum from 25 feet. The first one almost hit the bull's-eye. The next five were low. Number 18 went right through the black dot. I move the target out to 25 yards and the gun did it's job as long as I didn't flinch. I bought a 686–6 a little over a year ago and absolutely loved it as well. It is my favorite gun to run a lot of rounds through. I don't know why the guns need to have locks but if Smith & Wesson deems it necessary so that they can produce these fine weapons I am all for it. I love all my handguns as well as my rifles and shotguns but my Smiths are my favorites.

S&W PC 327 TRR8 357mag revolver

I have one. It's great but I can't get the moonclip issue resolved. I use PMC 357A mag ammo and I purchased a BMT N38-8 moonlip loader. It will not load the PMC ammo into the moonclips that came with my TRR8. The moonclips have a TK on them and I bought some more from S&W and got the same type moonclips that came with the gun from PC-S&W. Must be made by TK Custom. So, how do I get these moonclips loaded? Do I need to try other ammo until it works or is there a tool that the S&W provided moonclips will work loading PMC 357A ammo?

My wife bought a new Model 67 right before Christmas. I don't like the hole but the gun's fit and finish is a lot better than I expected and it shoots like a dream. She has no complaints.

Who says there's no such thing as zombies? This thread is back from the dead isn't it?

It's not exactly new but neither is this thread so here goes. I love my M&P Sport 15. Doesn't jam and accurate as heck. What's not to like? It's my first AR but not my first EBR. And I've bought more guns since but they weren't S&W.

New 640 Pro and it's Great!!

Today was my third range trip with my SW 640 Pro and I gotta tell ya, I really like this fantastic gun. The first trip I had Moon clip issues, but got those resolved and now carry this little beast daily in a Galco Tuck and Go as mentioned by a member on this forum. I settled on Speer 38+p short barrel for SD and against my previous better judgement, installed a set of CTC LG405 lasers on it today. After initial zero, this gun, as a friend of mine says, is bulletproof. Great gun.

627-5 PC that I purchased a few months ago. Love this thing. Got some Ahrend grips on it now for a full grip.

I just won a New S&W 460PC 7.5" and I'm expecting to absolutely love it!! But won't know till it gets here later this week! Then I can follow this post up with pics and maybe a range report!

 

[03hemi]

Mot recent is a 1911SC "E" Series and while I haven't shot it yet I am extremely impressed with the fit and finish on the pistol, unbelievable detail for a gun that costs this much!

 

[mazer]

Well it arrived!!! New S&W Performance Center 7.5" 460S&W!
Going to shoot it today hopefully and see how it performs, it is gorgeous right out of the box.

I purchased a Model 27-9 in March. I do not like the fact that it has an internal lock. I don't think I will ever use that. The top strap is gorgeous. I'm going to shoot this one until I find dash 2. Maybe then, I'll keep both.

The SSR was new in Jan./ the 640 pro was new in Feb. Love them both. Fit and finish was good. Having action jobs done on both. They will be perfect then!!!
