does some one know of a good pic reference of S&W revolvers?
as I browse through g**broker, I about go blind, I can see revolvers in my head but I cannot remember the model numbers!

Possibly the Smith Wesson web site? Google images may also be helpful.

ahhh...experience comes in good time, Grasshopper. Or, if you are in a hurry you can get the Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson (4th Edition) by Supica and Nahas from your favorite bookseller. It makes a lot of people around here look really educated.

Just looking at a shelf of 4" S&W revolvers, they nearly all look the same, except for adjustable sights, and without knowing the caliber could be a 32, 38, 44, 357, 22RF, 22Mag, etc. Very few could tell the difference without seeing the caliber mark. But, study the difference of J Frame, K Frame, N Frame, or X Frame. Then within each of these sizes are dozens of different models, Then there are the models that have been added and dropped over the past 160 years.

Get the "Book", Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson.

I was able to get my copy of the S&W Catalog, 4th ed. from Barnes and Noble. Probably the best overall reference book for all S&W firearms.
