I interpreted the thread title to mean ANY brand new revolver, not just a S&W. <>
A 586-4 advertised as LNIB but more like NIB! That's as close as I come to a "new" revolver.![]()
Last brand-new revolver I purchased was a Model 29 in 1982. Newest revolver I have is a 696, I'm second or third owner on that. Or maybe the Aussie 10-11?
Same here.

I bought a Ruger Flattop 44 Special about two years ago. Great wheelgun at a very fair price. Most new revolvers one sees nowadays are in neither category.
