Starting a collection....

[bananaman]

Welcome to the FORUM! Yes, that is a great start! (what else can I say?)
I have a 625JM in 45ACP, and a 25-15 in 45Colt. I would prefer older models, but enjoy both of them. Keep us posted with new additions. Bob

That's a very impressive start.

I've never been a "collector", just an acquirer.

After my pre-27, 57 & 58 arrive I'll be done and more than happy with what I have. .357s are my favorites.

I prefer barrel lengths around 6" but have a couple short ones too. The pre 27 is a 3 1/2". I'd prefer a 6" but I'll keep it anyway.

I have one .45 Long Colt, a 25-3 but its going too.

That is one fine start on a collection! The gentleman had excellent taste in revolvers. Do some research into "pinned and recessed" which all of yours are except for the 629-1.

That is a $4-5,000 collection right there.

Welcome to the forum and the slippery slope. For what it good it may do, tread lightly or you'll be like the rest of us.

...If it's not obvious I love the longer barrels. I reload and shoot a lot, the long 8 3/8 barrels are shooters and an absolute pleasure at the range!

I too love the long ones. Welcome to the forum and what a beautiful collection. I look forward to future photos as it grows.

Again, thanks guys! I'm aware of pinned and recessed. The only reason I picked up the 629-1 is it was NITB with paperwork. I'm ashamed to say it is no longer New....I'm a shooter before a collector! This is a shooters collection, one that will be well cared for but enjoyed!

My "crackhead" collection is starting to grow as well.
