S&W Buy back Binge

[nipperdog]

A few years ago, I sold off most of my S&W Revolvers to buy High End 1911s. I disposed of some real choice Guns that I wish that I had Today. So now slowly but surely I'm buying some new Revolvers. I can't afford the prices for the old classic pieces, but I can be happy with the New Frame style guns. I'm more of a Shooter than a Collector anyway. So I decided to start by buying one of each Frame size. Next on the list is a X Frame 460
Presently purchased are

Model 63-5 J Frame
Model 617-6 K Frame
Model 69 L Frame
Model 629 N Frame

Very nice start..

I like the method to your madness! Nice guns.

I would skip the X frame and get another N frame, one with a 6" or longer barrel and in 44 Magnum. JMHO, of course.

 

[PilotRights]

Two 22s and two 44s? Did I get that right?

 

[RSBH44]

I like the method to your madness! Nice guns.

My thoughts exactly!

 

[BigBill]

Ok my advise is,,,,N frames in nickel.

 

[Scare-Crow]

No collection is complete without a 686

 

[Fishinfool]

Nice collection. If you reload, 22 rf and 44 mag is all you need...

Nice set, man I never thought that I would be saying that to a man.

Looks like a good start to me. But, you do need a couple 357s eventually.

I managed to hold on to this 66-3 that I found in a Pawnshop a while ago.

That will work.

Congrats! That's a nice looking group you have there.

Wow! Someone else who did almost the exact same thing. I missed having my S&W .357's for carry and range and traded off the 1911.

Yep. Another "seller" here that became a "buyer" in my later years. I've concentrated on slightly older, non-IL models that are more or less the same firearms I sold off back in the old days. Stainless? I like your style.

There have been very few guns I've sold and not regretted it at some time. Now I know that sooner or later I'll come back to the currently less-interesting ones. My solution? Never sell! Good luck with your re-revolvering efforts!

 

[S&W Fan]

You're on a good roll! I just got back a gun I sold a year and half ago that I regretted selling almost immediately! I won't do that again (4" 629-1, 1988).

 

[NZshooter]

It's funny (for lack of more appropriate word) that we all have such regrets.

It's NOT madness! Just some common sense. I too have sold guns in the past that I regret doing. If I had the cash today I'd indulge in some MADNESS of my own. Just sayin.............
