I don't have too many left on the wish list. The S&W revolvers I'd still like to get are the 696ND, a 5" K frame, a 2" or 3" NY-1, and a Victory. The other handguns I'd like are a Colt WW I 1911 repro and stainless CCO. I'd also really like a 1928A-1 Thompson and a BAR, but I'll need to win the lottery for those.

Other than needing to find an old "tackle box" 2" model 34, to use as an everyday working /utility gun (just can't bring myself to putting any finish wear or marks on my pristine examples), I'm pretty content with what I have now.
While I'm not looking forward to the time when I'll have to start selling things off, after reading all of the previous posts, it is good knowing I have several of the firearms that others are searching for and may be able to help a few people fill their empty slots in the future.

Let me know !!
My mildly-ruggedly-loved Brazilian is a freaking great shooter lol.
I came close to getting one of those a while back. But in my mind they wanted too much for it. Especially for poor shape.

I have one that I got cheap due to crusty spots on the blueing. It's my best shooter. I believe it's on the k frames that the long barrel most shines.

None. I have more than I need, but not a many as I would like to have. Remember I am a shooter not a collector..

I've wanted a Model 19 2.5" for a long time but didn't want to pay $1000+ for a nice one. Stopped in my LGS for no particular reason last week and there it was in excellent condition $742 OTD. I think I'm done now. No more room in safe & 75yrs old in a couple weeks.
Original nickel 3rd model 44
Hah!...Nothing but a kid...Buy another safe...
...BenI mourn the passing of the 8 3/8 inch Smiths, Colts, and of course the Velo Dog bicycle pistol mounted on a swivel mount on the handlebars to gun down dogs that attack you.

This won't help but I bought one of those back in the late 1970s or early 1980s brand new for $144. While on a motorcycle ride, I stopped at a hardware store/gun shop and spotted in the counter's display case. A guy had ordered it but never paid for it and it had been there for a while so I paid for it and returned later that day in me car.
I bought it thinking of it being good to carry while hunting groud hogs my in-law's farm when the hay was too high for prone rifle shooting. It shot great with 148-grain wadcutters but the sight wouldn't adjust in such a way that 110-grain hollow points could be used. Remington changed the sight blade with one that allowed zeroing with both loads. Foolishly, I sold it a long time ago.
Good luck with your search.

My short list includes two snubs, a model 15 and a model 686. They're, buy on sight if priced right.

I'd like to find a model 57 in blue with 4 or 6" bbl. I've had several over the years, but I'm currently without. I picked up a NIB Colt 1911 70 series in 38 super in a trade that I was hoping to find someone with a 57 who is interested in doing a swap. I just keep putting the word out + hopefully I'll find that person. The definition of good business is when EVERYONE in a deal is happy.
