My birth year, 1970, special-ordered two-tone for a NYC Corrections officer...with a W/O, Yellow Ramp, and smooth Dark Rosewood Stocks

That's just beautiful.

The top two are 66 (no dash) from the New Hampshire State Police and Ga.Alcohol & Tobacco Taxation Unit.

The lower two are 66-1s from the Wyoming Highway Patrol & Minnesota State Patrol.

The two stragglers are 65s from the Ga. Parole Board & Puerto Rico Police

This is probably next on the pickup list for me is a Model 19.

Then I will have the gap between the 17 and the 27 filled in.

Probably in nickel as I have been going that way more. I had a blue Model 19 from the 1960s and it was very high quality. Smith and Wesson really had their work going well in that time period.

Some of these above on this page, and others, are just tops.

Another shot of the 2 Combat Magnums from 1956. New in box Blue Pre-19 and a scarce Nickel Pre-19. The 19 is quite possibly my favorite S&W.

First handgun I ever bought, it's a -3. I did a little research on it when i first picked it up and turned out it was a Kentucky State Troopers (a model 19 issued to an LEO, big surprise huh).

 

[Snake Plissken]

I picked this Model 66-2 and holster up at a local Gun show this weekend for a song

 

[Parker357]

My additions to this list include my M19-7, M66-1 4 inch and M66-1/-2 factory overmarked.

 

[Jdavis]

Here is a 66 (no dash) that I've had for around 30 years and has spend most of it's life in a dark corner of my safe.

 

[Fairlane67]

New to me S&W 66-4

I don't know much about revolvers but I picked up this fine example about a week ago for what I consider a great price $425. It's my one and only revolver.

Not for long though...I think I got the bug...

 

[Dueeast]

My Mod 19-4 Nickle

I'd like to show off my new addition.

This just in - M19-2 2.5"

I just got this home from the LGS. It took since Jan. 31 to convince the seller I was the appropriate owner of this treasure. He bought it new in 1968 and claims never to have fired it. I see no evidence of it. Original box, tools, papers, and numbered magnas. Wow! This photo is from cell phone. Better pictures later when I get the real camera fired up. I built a light box using instructions from elsewhere on the forum just for the occasion. Now ... do I shoot it?
