I have the complete battery of needed revolvers covered with spares for all the categories which matter to me.
Model 10 Heavy Barrel
Model 17
Model 29
Colt Detective Special
There are additional selections of revolvers that can and do stand in for the above but those four see the most frequent use.

My ideal package would be a 640 and a 4 inch Heavy Barrel fixed sight K frame. If I wanted it all in one package, it would be a 3 inch fixed sight K frame.
I like the 442 or the 642 AIWB coupled with an NAA .22 WMR in my pocket.
As always, I just need one more . . .

While I’d love to have a few more wheelguns (particularly vintage N-frames), as far as shooting goes I’m squared away.

My planning evolution has gotten me to this point. I don't feel a need to evolve any more.

6" 617ND
2 1/2" 66ND
6" 686ND
8 3/8" 629-1
All I need to do is sell the 4" 66ND and pick up a 6" 686ND and everything will be as it should be.

Past 25 years or so I have gotten by quite well with:
1. S&W Model 34, 2", .22LR
2. S&W Model 64, 2", .38 Spl.
3. S&W Model 66, 4", .357
4. S&W Model 29, 4", .44 Mag.
5. S&W Model 629, 3", .44 Mag.
Those seem to take care of all my camping, fishing, hunting, and recreational needs. Doesn't mean that I will be letting go of:
6. S&W Model 19, 6", .357 Mag.
7. S&W Model 1950 Target, 6.5", .44 Spl.
8. S&W Model 29, 6.5", .44 Mag.
9. S&W Model 10, 3" HB, .38 Spl.
10. Colt Single Action Army, US Model 1873, .45 cal., 7.5" (1885)
11. Colt SAA Frontier Six Shooter, 5.5", .44-40 (1914)
12. Colt SAA, 5.5", .44 Spl. (1979)
13. Colt SAA Bisley, 5.5", .32-20 (1915)
14. S&W Model 37 Airweight Chief, .38 Spl.
15. Remington New Army, .44 percussion (1864)
16. Colt Model 1860 Army, .44 percussion (1862)
17. Colt Model 1851 London Navy, .36 percussion (1861)
I could probably spend some time rooting around the safe deposit box and find a few more worth hanging onto. Some are very useful, some are lots of fun, some are great investments. They're all good!

Although I have a good number of K frame, one L, and one N, my carry revolvers are a 2 1/2" 66-5 (carried often), a 4" 686-0 (woods carry) and a 2" DAO 64-6 (carry rarely, coat pocket in cool weather for quick trips to the store). I have some older classic K frames that I would not like to lose in the event that I had to use one. For the same reason plus capacity, Glock pistols have taken over the home defense role at my place.
