A while back I purchased a brand new s&w model 24 in 44special with a 6 1/2" N frame revolver in that world famous s&w nickel finish. I went back to see what was left on my dealers sale and seen the brand new m24 being in nickel it was all over.

So what was your last brand new s&w purchase??

The Governor. I'm having a blast (pun intended) with it!
 
I'm not a fan of the designs S&W has been putting out as of late, nor will I buy a revolver with an IL and MIM parts, so I treated myself to a NIB 686-4 4". A picture of it is below w/ Ahrends Cocobolo grips.

About a month ago, Top Gun Supply had a sale on 586-4s that were dept. trade ins. My 586-4 I believe was never used as it didn't have one scratch on it, no wear marks, or cylinder ring marks. Both were great finds for me.

First new S&W I've bought in 8 years. Couldn't be happier.

624 purchased new in 1987. Wish I could say I still have it. But I do have it's immediate predecessor, 4" 24-3 purchased in 1985.

My latest purchase was in the closing months of last year when I found a NIB 686-1 offered for sale. Very glad I bought it. Profoundly accurate. A delight to handle and shoot.
 
Last November.

Black Friday special at local store on the .38 Special LCR with the red front site. $299.00. It's my daily carry now.

Before that? It's been many, many years since I bought ANY new gun.
 
I have only bought 2 new revolvers. A Ruger single six in 1976 and model 19 in 1977. Everything else has been pre owned.
 
I have new s&w n frames from two 1/2 years ago I didn't shoot yet. I hope to shoot them soon.

I was never interested in a model 24 but with all the other nickel guns gone and the m24 was the last one I figured what the neck.
