whats your latest brand new revolver purchase?

[BigBill]

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!

 

[snubbiefan]

1989 as I recall. 617 ND wearing a 6-inch barrel. Cost was $292.00. I have bought many S&W's since....none "brand new". Now....if I come across a brand new old stock....that may result in a different outcome.

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.

I'm the proud owner of a new Model 69...

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.

S&W .41 Magnum M&P in 1967.

NIB with a box of shells throwed in. $81.00

My wife asked for and received a 3" Smith & Wesson 60-15 Pro Series .357 Magnum for her birthday.

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.

 

[BillR1]

My 686SSR was purchased new earlier this year. It's already got me a few match wins!

 

[at_liberty]

Model 60 Pro Series 357. Nice little gun, but count me as another one unimpressed by the faint glow of the front "night" sights.

Can you say "recall"?

 

[hittman77]

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.

 

[jmace57]

I have only bought 2 new revolvers. A Ruger single six in 1976 and model 19 in 1977. Everything else has been pre owned.

 

[Shorty 45 MK2]

Summer of 2011. A 642.

 

[Jim1392]

A week ago Model 60-15 357 3 inch.

 

[at_liberty]

A week ago Model 60-15 357 3 inch.

Have you shot it yet? If so, what say you?

 

[BigBill]

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.

 

[Jim1392]

Have you shot it yet? If so, what say you?

I'm hoping to go this week. I'll let you know. Only shooting +p though. I haven't had a chance to pick up any 357 yet.

 

[Bill Douglas]

I bought this (previously unfired) model 36 a couple of weeks ago.

 

[gmiller0737]

1984 I purchased a Ruger Redhawk .44 Magnum Still Have it,I have other revolvers but all were purchased used,new stuff dosen't appeal to Me at all I would much rather have something older.

 

[ISCS Yoda]

Wow.....it's been awhile!

My last brand new revolver was my 642 and that's quite some years ago. Before that, as I think about it, and out of the 20 or so S&W revolvers that I have, I think only my Model 27 Classic (2009, I think) and my first Model 10 snubbie (1981) were purchased brand new. The rest all had prior lovers.....but, as opposed to wives, it's not a problem to have shared them with other folks, male or female!

***GRJ***

PS:

None of my other revolvers, non-S&W, were purchased brand new, either!

 

[Adk.IBO]

My last S&W was 21yrs ago, a 640 38spl. About a month ago I bought a NAA Wasp, really like them both.

Stay safe, John

617-6 last winter.
Such a pleasure and so accurate that my 17-2, 17-4, and 18-4 have not been out of the safe since.
In fact, I'm leaving with it shortly for the regular Tuesday match at my club.

9:30 PM update: 1st place in the match. 617s rule!

And, no, the IL doesn't bother me in the slightest!

 

[plat0]

Just bought a 625 JM. Can't wait to take it out to the range!

 

[gkitch]

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.

 

[BigBill]

I been very happy with my brand new s&w N frames. My m58 shoots awesome with the 210gr JHP. I woke up the range when everyone was shooting there 9mm's. It was quiet. I didn't shoot the nib m29-10, m57 & m24 yet. There are some awesome buys on brand new s&w revolvers.

The revolver isn't dead yet. I hope the N frames never die.
