I'm a new guy from west central Illinois. I have been a long time revolver fan. But have never owned a Smith and Wesson. Started with my first Revolver 21 years ago. It was a Taurus 689. About 6 years ago sold it and bought a Ruger sp101 and then later a gp100. The past few months started taking an interest in S&W. I would eventually like to add a few to my guns.
