SW 1st, 2nd & 3rd Genneration fever

[mbliss57]

Someone posted recently about crossing over... from the Wheel guns to semi's.
I must say I haven't crossed over but seem to be equally enamored with both Wheel guns (Especially N frame and model 19's). I bought 15 wheel guns in the last 5 months. But.. I have have also become "addicted to the older S&W semi auto 1st -3rd Gen guns. MY 1st purchase was a model 59. It was NIB so I wanted a shooter so I picked up a 5906. Then I wanted a .45 all metal gun so I traded my M&P for a 4506-1. Then I wanted a CCW so I found a 3913 at a pawn shop last month. Then I wanted a 1st gen 9 mm so I found a NIB 39-2. Then I realized I had (2) 1st gen and (3) 3rd gen guns but no 2nd. So last night I bought a 459 off the forum...I am in serious trouble here...
That is 20 Smith's in 5 months...
Hello my name is Mike and I'm a Smithaholic..

Nice collection!!

You need to add a 6906, the best double stack compact pistol has ever built IMO.

There is no known cure for your addiction though, that's the bad news.

Wow, impressive collection. These were all bought in the last few months?

Craig.. Yes I bought my 1st SW just before Thangsving 2011. A .45 M&P semi. Already traded that one for all steel guns

Nice collection!

I too am a Smithaholic, however I just started and am a little behind. I am torn between the revolvers and semi autos. Just when I think I am going to go straight autos I see a revolver that I have to have and vice versa.

Finding this forum is like having a support group for my problem, except they keep encouraging me to buy. Which is ok since it helps me make good buying decisions.

Blessings and curses

Yes this forum is a blessing and a curse.
A blessing to the understanding of how to buy quality Smith & Wesson handguns and many related things. Also some great friends have already been made in the short time I have been involved with the forum.
A Curse: To my wallet
