If you could only own 1 S&W revolver?

[panamajack310]

this one is a no brainer. 3" 625 of 1989

 

[bmcgilvray]

My old Model 10 Heavy Barrel.

 

[jimmyj]

Model 25-2 .45acp (M1955)

 

[SW357Addict]

First Choice: 4" 625 in .45ACP.
Second Choice: 4" 627 Pro Series in .357Mag.

Self defense guns are a dime a dozen. Considering that, my one and only S&W would be a 1956 5 screw .44 MAGUNM in the clamshell, with everything it came with from the factory, UNFIRED.

 

[Nightowl]

Sorry. Cannot own just ONE Smith & Wesson!

 

[Calaveras Slim]

M21, 4", 44 special

Not even gonna go there

 

[HAWKEYE10]

MY MODEL 19-3. Mine is a 6" I might have to
say a 19 4" barrel. Don

 

[Bullseye Smith]

Without hesitation...

A 686 Plus with 3 inch barrel (first choice) or 4 inch barrel (second choice).

You'd be hard pressed to find a more durable or versatile revolver.

Well, it definitely wouldn't be the Elvis model...

 

[biggs357]

Anything with the number 686 would be great.

 

[Gun 4 Fun]

Factory 5" 29-2. No question about it. Don't have it yet, but that's the one.

 

[VAdoublegunner]

A 4" 629-4. Max versatility loaded mild to wild, everything you might need and nothing you don't!

 

[danski]

Any K-frame 4-incher 6-shot built from 1957 to 1982; name it for me if you like.

 

[Wickahoney]

If I knew I was going to actually huint with it, deer, bears, elk etc and everything smaller including self defense, it would be a 4" Model 57 or Model 647. The 41 Mag is a great compromise.

If I never intended to hunt big game and the "biggest" thing that might be encountered is people as a Self Defense gun and on down, it would be a Model 19 or a Model 66 either with 4" barrel.

If you could only own 1 S&W revolver, what model would you choose?
Mine would be a 4" model 66 with "Coke Bottle" grips.

Depends on the use. Best all around use is probably still a medium frame stainless revolver chambered for .357 Magnum, such as the Model 66 or 686 with 4 inch barrel and round butt.

 

[Black_Sheep]

IF I could have only one...

1989 Model 625-2 w/5" barrel

I love how it feels in my hand...

 

[flash60601]

The second S&W I ever purchased, would be the first choice - Model 19, 4" bbl. The ultimate, all-around winner for me, and so it seems for a LOT of you others, as well.

Or the last one, a 66, 2-1/2". Or maybe the one before that, M27 - 4", with Pachmayer grips. Or, maybe the 6" M19, or the 6" M27 , , , or - - -

For me, a Registered Magnum.

Realistically, a 686SSR, and I already have it.
