Back in November of 2013, I managed to finally achieve a small portion of my collecting goals, namely, a set of blued K-Frame M&P 4” revolvers in the most commonly available calibers (.22, .32 S&W L, .32-20, .38S&W, .38 Spl., 9mm, and .357 Magnum) https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/poor-mans-collection-the-m-p-family.342669/ . Well, of course that started me down a tangent to another deep rabbit hole; acquiring blued 4” Model # K-frame models from 10 to 19. Fast forward almost 12 years, and finally, success! – or as I like to think of it, “Smith and Wesson: From Middle School through High School”. I never thought I’d have the patience or opportunity (or funds) to get there…… Where possible, I tried to go for versions which were produced in lesser quantity. I shudder to think where I’ll go next – I guess maybe my next goal should be blue K-Frame 4” adjustable sight guns to finish that branch ( Model 48’s and 53’s are not inexpensive), but who knows?

That 11-4 is not often found around here. Plenty of BSR's, but the 11-4...not so much.
OP
You are very right - the Model 11-4 was the last one I needed, and it cost me the most 
, but it's not complete without it 
. Funny thing though, it's not one of the SAP-marked guns that were sold off by S&W at auction. Need to letter it.

I sure would like a pic of your 4" M&Ps!!! Great collection.
Adding a 48 and a 53 would be a lot cheaper than, say, starting a collection of every known barrel length Registered Magnums. It's all perspective.

Thanks! Here's a pic of the 4" M&Ps from the 2013 post. In a way, I guess I'm very lucky that I'm not a N-Frame fan - I can't even imagine how one can afford to collect those puppies without winning the lottery. I consider the blued 4" guns to be a working man's goal. Besides being a K-Frame fan, I'm lucky that they fall into the more affordable category .

I'd be proud to have a collection like that, RWJ.
