What would you consider to be the top 5, must have, S&W revolvers.............

[farmer56]

top 5 i have

 

[Decker]

Prefacing with the idea that my top 5 are "shooters", not "collectors", I'll list my top five as being:

Model 66
Model 63
Model 686
Model 60
Model 617

Barrel lengths as per one's personal preference.

Naturally, being "my" fave five, I have all of them. I'm real partial to stainless for pistols I shoot.

Oh, sorry you said you wanted 5. I have a problem your honor, I have this addiction and I just can't stop. Please, what ever you do, don't lock me up in that room with all of my S&W's. I just can't stand being there.

[hummveecop]

1. 3 inch Model 36 round butt
2. 4 inch M29 - duty gun
3. 8-38 inch .22 Magnum, blued
4. 6 inch M29 - "Dirty Harry"
5. one of the new titanium or polymer framed hammerless .357 snubs

Stainless guns preferred for ease of maintenance, but I like the look of blued guns, esp. S&W's bright polished blue.

You guys and gals have given me quite a list of favored Smith and Wesson Revolvers to sort through. I have been humbled by the number of "Reads" and responses. I haven't forgotten to compile the information and see what we might learn as a group. Been very busy lately but I haven't forgotten it. I should be able to start over the weekend to start the official count but keep adding in the mean time if you wish. Thanks.

[mattallamerican]

44 mag mountain gun,4inch 28.17-3,67,and a 337

 

[RobC2]

From largest to smallest:

Model 29 - 6.5"
Model 27 - 5"
Model 19 - 4"
Model 13 - 3"
Model 36 - 2" (approximately)

Obviously, many similar guns could serve as substitutes, such as stainless variants, etc. If I were to add a sixth, it would be a Model 17 6" I guess.

Model 617 (or any K-22)
Model 36 or 60 (1 7/8ths or 3 inch)
Model 29 or 629 (6.5 inch!)
