Near Des Moines, Iowa.
After 2 years of looking, I finally joined. Love this place.

Bought my first S&W in 1990, a new 19-5 four inch .357 that I perforated many soda cans with at a friends' hunting property in Virginia. After a couple years I traded it for a forgettable auto-loader.
That was my last Smith until 2 and a half years ago, and now I can't get enough, limited by funding as usual.
I now have these:
#317 Airlite 2" no lock 22LR paid $300 used.
#18-4 K-gun no lock 22LR paid $500 used (my favorite).
#40 new production lemon squeezer .38+P no lock $500 new.
#442 new production Airlite .38+P no lock $400 new (carry).
#63 kit gun 4" 22LR no lock $505 used.
#66-1 P&R 2" .357 marked "Iowa State Patrol" within shield, (but not issued) looks new, paid $500 used today - had to have it, been looking for a clean model 19 snubbie, but I think I can make do with this...
Photos when I get around to it... See y'all around!

Welcome from Texas Jason68. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.
 
Welcome to the forum from a fellow resident of the deep freeze. (Which Algore says is caused by global warming, by the way). Your M66 marked Iowa State patrol is interesting. Somebody told me a few years ago these were never issued because they should have said HIGHWAY Patrol. Apparently somebody screwed up when they were ordered. Don't know if this add to their value or collectibility, but it's interesting.
