What was your first Smith and Wesson??

[cololab]

M66 no dash 4". Bought it in 1974 and I still have it.

 

[Miltfarrow]

Inherited my Dads k22 and K38 6" bbl......started an affliction like few others!

I'd have my 1951 K-38 and my K-22 buried with me except I hope someone else will enjoy them after me.

It was a 32 caliber snubby that I got somewhere between 1965 and 1968. Have no idea what model that was or much about it except it was a bitch to shoot. I suspect that was because of the short barrel and the long/hard D/A trigger pull.....until then my only experience was with a 1911 we shot during navy boot camp. Don't remember much about it, not sure what I did with it; either sold it or gave it away.
Came a long way since then, buying, selling, trading you know how it goes. Now in my late 70s I have a couple full size 9s, two or three 357s, a few 380s, a 22 or two. My favs are Smith in the revolvers, I like all the semis; have a springfield, rock, beretta etc.

Mt first was a 6" blue 27-2 in 1980. Soon after as I started shooting Bullseye I obtained a Model 41 and a Model 52-2. I have all three

My first was a new Model 60, purchased from the gun shop I worked at while a part time college student in 1967. That one got away some years ago, but it has been replaced by one I carry often.

Nickel model 36. Not actually purchased, but was awarded for top honors in my police academy. Purchased many more since.

Model 19-3. I had to sell it when I got divorced and my ex-wife ended up buying it. Imagine that, she had extra money and I had to sell it because I needed the money. Fortunately, she sold it back to me years later. I think it cost me twice what she paid for it but, fortunately, I got it back and still have it.

Model 19-2 4" blue in box with everything. 100.00 + 4.25 tax.
Of course this was 1972. I was 16 and my mom not only trusted me, but also did the paperwork on it.
And it was missing the i the the Smith and Wesson on the R side of the pistol where it says Made in USA SM TH & WESSON.
Like most one time-or another, I was short on cash and a friend load my 150.oo he was going to hold the gun.
So I could get it back, but a month later I took him the money and he had sold my gun.
I was heart broken but it was water under the bridge at that point.
99% of all handguns I have owned since then Have been S&W's.
Now days I only have a few but I have always been a S&W guy. Here's the Smith Sisters as I call them.
60,617,625,627,686, and a Governor
Sorry the picture upside down.

4" 686

 

[Cwilly8]

586, 6" barrel, with holster, original walnut grips, plus Pachmyr grips. Bought at a gun show in Knoxville from an individual. Bought about 1988, believe it was an early 80s model.

My first S&W was the Model 28-2 my Dad gave me when I was 14. Thanks to Dad I was able to add a 36-1, K-22 and a 10-5 by the time I graduated high school.

The first S&W I purchased on my own was a brand new .45 Colt 625-6 Mountain Gun in 1996. It was $425, which was most of the money in my checking account at the time.

I still have all of those revolvers.

She made you pay.

Isn't it always the way....
