What S&W's have you NEVER seen in real life?

[The Gila Bender]

S&W's that I'd like to see, and handle, and maybe even own:

New Model 3 Revenue Cutter.
A 5" blue TL that I can shoot and enjoy.
315 Night Guard that isn't thrashed.

Anyone seen an original Model 21 for sale lately?

A factory nickeled Model 45 that shipped that way. No engraving.

I don't know what I don't know, so if something rare turned up, I wouldn't know it if I saw it.

I've never held a Registered Magnum, that might be a good thing with the prices the way they are.

Photos of my NIB K-32

Thanks for the beautiful pics of that amazing gun! You're a lucky person. Congrats on owning an iconic revolver.

How about a Victory Model marked USMC and VM-155 which was John Glenn's squadron during WWII... Oh wait, I have seen one. Its in my collection.

Just braggin'

Alright, alright...everyone has to brag a little bit.

Cool gun, to be sure.

I guess the m38/44 would fill the gap between the k38/38 spec and the m27/357mag? The m38/44 would be the stepping stone to the 357 mag. Or does the registered magnum fit in there too. I guess a registered magnum and a 38/44 should be on my want list.?

From the pictures, the 3" Model 19 with the round butt and diamond magnas may be one of the coolest guns S&W ever made...but I have never seen one in person.

I've been told I have a poker face, but I doubt I could hold it if ever I came eye-to-eye with a .22 M&P (Model 45) or a pinto Chiefs Special (photos don't count).

I've owned a .22 M&P, but have never seen a Pinto (of any kind) or a K-32.

 

[Frank46]

Never seen a Registered magnum in person as well as a K32. And while I'm on a roll an engraved S&W revolver in any caliber. That pretty much covers it. Frank

627 6 inch .....

I have never seen a 5 inch 627 with the full underlug barrel and fluted cylinder. These were from the early 90s, I believe. I have seen two listed for sale, but I was too late. I have two 627-2s with unfluted barrels, 5 inch, but have never seen one with an unfluted cylinder with my own two eyes! I believe they were sent to Europe.

Dear Nightowl,

maiby attached picture is of your interest.
Eh, yes, it is in Europe, never would have expected that we have some rare Smith's

best regards

This is a Model 629-4 Classic with PowerPort that has some factory engraving and is also marked "001 of 100". I don't know if this is a rare variation, but I've never run across one of the other 99.

I have never seen a factory Pinto or the fixed sight N frame 357. Model 20 I think it is? I understand they were only made for a Texas Prison or some such?
i have seen a Dan Wesson in 45 Colt and have had a few "collectors" swear it was never produced.

The fixed sight N frame 357 was model 520, produced for NY state police ( I think).

Post #19 in this thread.
Was there ever a fixed sight, heavy barrel .44 configured like a 58?

It is a handful.
