New to S&W; might have over done it... ?

[domyalex]

I honestly don't know what happened... one day I was enjoying my latest 1911 acquisition and before I knew it I had sold it, along with a varmint rifle and now sitting in my safe there are a 1955 K22, a 586 no dash and a 627-5. How did this happen?

K22 is just, well, gorgeous.
586 is a classic from the 80's
627-5 is the work horse that will see thousand of rounds at the local Steel Challenge practice; yes it has lock and ball detent, but in this particular case I don't really care.

In a sense, it's a small collection that spans the 3 mayor frames, across 60 years of history.

Yeah, yeah, I'm missing a Model 19, I know; I found a couple, but they are going for $900+...

nice job but quite while you are ahead.

 

[Ashlander]

Now you need some snubbies!!!

 

[Northwoods Trader]

You clearly need group intervention.

 

[Engine49guy]

Fish On ! ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[chief38]

Yup - addicting isn't it? Hope your wallet holds out!

 

[JayFramer]

Lookin good! Now all you need are some snubber bubbers and a five hunert magnum!

 

[nawilson]

First off, great guns! You'll enjoy what you picked out, and you chose wisely. Second off, those are two great books. Third off, you should be able to find a Model 19 for less than $900! Prices have gone up, but you should be able to find a nice one at $600-$700.

Now you need a J-frame. I recommend a 638 Bodyguard, aka "Humpback".

Collecting S&W revolvers is a disease. Some members here have it really bad

Hah, look at those three. He is clearly into real guns and a Shirley Temple-Smith would be totally out of place.

What he needs now are some of the real classics: N-frames with holes of .40 and larger in front.

nice guns, bet you can't stop at three--

A FINE recommendation from kernal Crittenden, but please allow me to also recommend the Model 649 Bodyguard, also aka "Humpback".

 

[DR505]

MORE N-FRAMES! It is a must. One in .41 magnum, .44 Special, .44 magnum, .45 ACP, and .45 Colt. Then come the X-Frames.

You have some beautiful guns there...nothing to apologize for...

Welcome.
There's no such thing as "over done it."

 

[Kadonny]

What he needs next is a snub K frame! He is already looking at a Model 19, so get that or a Model 66.

 

[wnc wheelgun]

Every collection needs to have a 2 inch model 10.
