Hey members,
after reading the forum for some time, I finally signed up.
Took the opportunity after winning an auction for my fourth Smith&Wesson yesterday. Oh yeah.
Can't wait to get my hands on it:

That is a gorgeous example of my favorite classic revolver, sir.

Congratulations!
 
Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new revolver.

Welcome aboard from the great state of Pennsylvania!
 
Glad to see some countries in Europe can still sell firearms at auction. I guess your laws are a little more lax over most others.

Fine piece you have there.

And a warm

from "wild and wonderful " West Virginia at least that's what they tell us.
 
@gdnagle:
I wouldn't call it relaxed.... it involves tremendous paperwork, patience and even psychological exams to obtain a possession license (still not good for carrying).
But we can own a limited amount of firearms.
In my case: some fine Smith&Wessons pieces [emoji106]🏻
 
I Like The M36, Tell Me What You Think Of The M15.

I like it, I had a Model 15 for a brief period, what do you think of them?

BTW: It looked like this one, it was nice.

Welcome from Texas simultan4. Great forum for all things S&W, have fun, learn lots, share what you know.

Always grand to have a new member of the S&W family join in from across the Eastern pond.

I carry a 2" model 36 as a second gun on duty. I am assigned to CID (Criminal Investigation Division) and work plain clothes as the pawn shop detail. Mine is no where as pristine as yours but it has the character of being a working sidearm. It is worn and a few dings but serves me very well.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Hopefully there is soon something, that I can share with you.
I'm nowhere near as experienced as most of you.
I started shooting 4 years ago, because my boss talked me into it.
And do competition shooting for 3 years now.
So, I'm quite new to that field. [emoji6]

@pawncop:
I wouldn't mind signs of wear on an honest gun. In my opinion, it gives them character.
My model 66 shows those signs and wish, I knew more about its history.
I will never pass any magnum rounds through it and have it well padded in my safe. It's a retired 66 now.

Btw: anyone an idea, why frame and barrel on my 36 look like 'different blueing'?
The revolver is still in transit, being shipped to me - could that be wear?
Or is it aged?
 
Hello Austria

Just joined the forum a few weeks back myself. Born in Salzburg. Left for US wih my dad (US Army and mom, born Salzburg) in 1956. Don't own a single S&W but love guns and the forum.
