My nickel N frames. They all have the N now.

Hope you get old also.

Meeeeeesterpaul, and the younger folks on this forum. I sincerely hope that you all get to the age of 83, as I have, and can't enjoying getting out to shoot my guns as often as I'd like. Then if you still have your guns, you will be able to get some enjoyment from them as I do by getting them out, and looking at them, showing them to others, that appreciate them, and the like. And, YES, to me they are really guns.

I agree with Chubbo 100%. While "only" 66 I do get out and shoot ALL my guns whenever the weather permits, or indoors when it doesn't. The two 3.5" 27-2 revolvers I have are in the shooting rotation as they are the most pleasant .357 Magnums to shoot that I have... even including my 8" Python I've had since '81!

I just hope my two grandsons will get near the fun with them when I'm gone.

I never gave nickel or not nickel much thought. I heard that nickel was just a good way to for the factory to fix a blemished gun too. My dad had a M10 that was so old the nickel was peeling and I got him a stainless .38 Spl, I forget the model number but it had fixed sights, because I couldn't find a Model 66 357 Magnum for him. My first N frame was a six inch M57, pinned and recessed cylinder. I still have it and still remember my first handgun deer I took with it back in 1979. Thanks for the memory jog folks!

That's cheating.

That's cheating.

Yeah, but it's the only way I can afford one:

Wait, I needed the coins, so I no longer own a nickel S&W:-(
