My Smith & Wessons

[elm_creek_smith]

I wasn't sure where to put this, but, since three of them are from 1982, this was elected.

S&W Model 681, .357 Magnum (1982)
S&W Model 10-5, .38 Special (1970)
S&W Model 13-3, .357 Magnum (1982)
S&W Model 37, .38 Special (1982)
S&W Model 1½, .32 S&W (approx 1882)

I'll post a better picture when I get a chance. This is the first time I had them all out at the same time.

Nice collection! Good for you!

 

[Ashlander]

Really nice. I love guns with fixed sights - the 681 is one of the best. The 3" 13 is cool too.

 

[CWH44300]

Nice , that shrouded 13 is very cool

 

[Rapidray]

Nice!

A great collection you have there. J frame , K frames and an L frame. Very good!
Ashlander said it first, but I love fixed sighted guns also!

 

[fyimo]

Nice collection and a good start on a deversified collection

 

[JJEH]

Nice pices you have there. Congrats.

The 681 with Crimson Trace grips has been co-opted by my wife to be the "house gun." I carry the 13 and the 37 concealed daily, with the 10 substituting for the 13 when I'm really feeling retro. The 1½ pretty much stays in the safe unless I'm "cowboying," and then it makes an appearance for pocket pistol matches with BP loads.

My "collection" is for shooting. I never understood buying something to just put it in a safe.

In it's infinite wisdom, my agency issued me a Glock 22 when there was a perfectly good 686 sitting in the safe. I'm still working on my boss to let me qualify with it again and turn in the combat tupperware.

More of an "accumulation" than a collection. I like it a lot. I am working on one of every frame in .38 and one in every frame in .357. Blue only. This is harder than you think. Blue L-frames in .38 only are hard to find, and then overpriced.

 

[elm_creek_smith]

Well, squidsix, my brother and I describe ourselves as "accumulators" since we shoot everything we have.

Turns out the Model 1½ dates to approximately 1882, so you could say I have four Smith & Wesson revolvers from '82!

That's awesome. I only have one pistol I don't shoot, and it's a WWII Ithaca 1911 from my grandfather. I have shot it, and even carried it, but I no longer do that. All the others, ESPECIALLY the S&Ws, get shot all the darn time.

 

[kennyb]

very nice indeed

 

[Joe in SC]

looking good !

If shooting your revolvers makes you an accumulator rather then a collector, I've accumulated 6 S&W revolvers. Nice accumulation you have!

My Model 13-3 3" HB

These are some photos of my Model 13-3 3" HB. I purchased it brand new last March. I only shot 20 rounds or so in it. Wonderful revolver. I painted the sights, not a very good job though, but it makes a difference.

Wow

An enviable collection. Very very nice.
