Let's See Your Favorite S&W from 2015

[Leatherhead23]

Hey Leatherhead 23,
Now that Md 29 with box, tools was a fabulous find. Congratulations. I love the fact that the owner protected the box by putting it in a plastic case. Wow.

Also, I wonder why the stocks were replaced. Aren't they exactly the same except for being non diamond?

Also, I have to ask. Did the jelly beans come with the package?

No ides why he didn't like the Cokes on it right off the bat...I wasn't there when he was there....I sure wish I was. Just hearing what he told the Cabelas employees...could've all been a lie! Lol!


The Jelly beans are priceless....my daughter says so.

Without doubt my Thunder Ranch 22 45ACP. Classic look and feel. Deep glossy blued finish. Dead on with fixed sights. Perfect balance makes it feel much lighter than it is. And I love making those big holes in the paper! Everything you need in a combat revolver and nothing you don't. Might be the perfect 4" N Frame.

20 rounds offhand out to 10 yards

This 625JM is a close 2nd for 2015. It is what inspired the TR22 purchase.

 

[Roy P]

my favorite is my model 69. I have always wanted a 5 shot 44mag and smith finally decided to make one.

 

[CH4]

2015 was slow for S&W revolvers, because I spent most of my efforts in the 1911 world; however, I did manage to snag this clean M60.

 

[Blackbarry]

My favorite of 2015 is my 66-4 F Comp. The cylinder screamed to be polished. Off to Trijicon for a new front lamp. Minimal muzzle flip and a blast to shoot. My dilemma is method of concealed carry: shoulder holster, IWB, or OWB?

Scored this old Model 1926 Wolf & Klar

this spring for $700.00 w/ old Heiser Holster.

Shipped March of 1927.

Ah man, you suck! And here I am a Cowtown native!

I, uh, went a little nuts this year and it's hard to pick just one, but I'll go with this 64-5 3"

 

[RSBH44]

I've been fairly fortunate myself this year and picked up a few fine S&W specimens, 3rd gen semi's and revolvers. But this one stood out from the bunch as soon as I got it in my hands !
Model 48

 

[625smith]

Tough to choose just one! Here is my 629-4 Trophy Whitetail. 1 of 200 made by the performance center for Zanders. S/N ZAN00XX. Forged parts and square butt frame. 6½" barrel with power port. And a special thank you to forum member SmithNut for the spec sheet!

 

[1911 45]

My one and only revolver purchased this year 625 JM.

Well, I didn't do as well as colt saa, but I have had a pretty good year also, and would have trouble selecting just one of my new family members:

First here is a really nice .32 Regulatiion Police 31-1 which is in about 98% condition, and came in the original box with papers and an almost full box of vintage ammo.



Then there was this (bottom gun) Terrier that I just couldn't resist:



Then I found this pre model 40 on GB:



And discovered the seller was a forum member who also had a smooth ramp Baby Chief for sale:



And then an old friend wanted me to take a WV State Police 686 off of their hands, and even though I've been concentrating on the little guys, I couldn't resist:



And then I picked up a new 340 PD (no lock, of course), which I haven't got around to photographing yet, but which has become my latest EDC. And there's the problem: which one is my favorite?....

 

[Mehutch]

Tough year for me, but I saw this and dropped the coins. The grips were a must add. From Boone Trading Company - Pistol Grips. I love the look and feel, and she is a damn fine shooter. Onward to 2016.

The gun world's equivalent to a leatherman's tool.

 

[at_liberty]

Has to be my 60-10, which shoots so well but requires my own "357 Lite" ammo and "Short Barrel" for SD carry.

 

[les.b]

Mehutch: glad you got those grips when you did; I just saw on Boones website that they had to stop selling due to Washington state law change. I have bought Ivory grips from them in the past, and they were a great company to deal with. Very nice looking set on your 25!!!

Thanks les.b,
I am slow to buy things, take my time, but this style of grip seemed to fit the finish on my S&W 25-7. Yes Boones were nice to deal with, sorry to hear of the changes. I have a friend who makes knife handles insert the S&W medallion, (actually it is a tie pin).
At 63 years I have few things left on my bucket list, I have checked this one off. Next is joining the 'Polar Bear Club and a pie in the face.
Thanks again.

One more look at my 'big pair'.

Might I be so bold as to say, you have an outstanding "Big pair" right there!
That 25-7 just trips my trigger.

 

[pharmer]

I bought 4 guns in 2015: a Colt 6920, "built" another AR, a Model 15-3 shooter grade and this 640-1. The 640 is best of the lot. Joe

 

[gnystrom]

Bought this Mod 60 new in 1993, sold it, and re-bought again it this year.

 

[M.Cunningham]

Model 10-5 from a local gun show.

 

[crsides]

I guess it would have to be this one.


and if I had not ran into the RM, then it would have to be this long bbl 57 (no longer mine)


or just maybe a wee little one

[1911-10MM]

Mine would have to be my 631, 32 Mag

Horrible year you've had. Lol

 

[MattNH]

My favorite acquisition this year is from this year too. Model 66-8, shown with my Beretta 92FS Compact L Type M Inox

 

[loeman]

Model 10-5 from a local gun show.

I really like those K frame snubs! Especially with square butts. And I'm partial to fixed sights, so I particularly enjoyed seeing your favorite of '15. Thanks for sharing.

 

[jtcarm]

Oh, so this is a total show & tell, ok:

3" 64-3:


586 no dash:


Couple others I haven't photographed yet.

 

[M.Cunningham]

Thanks a lot loeman. I am loving it.

 

[Bob1943]

Only one I bought this year, 686-6 Plus, 2.5".
