Which is your FAVORITE S&W revolver?

All of them?

Everybody likes their Smith better than a Python except the Python owners.

That said, if I owned a Python, I'd sell it to buy three or four more Smiths.

We had a 6" Python from the 80's back in the 90's... It was nice, well made, fitted well and accurate. That said, I'll take a 3' or 4" "N" frame pre-lock Smith any day of the week!

SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM

The next one?

My Revolving Rifle serial number 1, owned by Joseph Wesson. I'm the 5th owner.

Currently I'm enamored with my nickel model 49, but my 65-3 is right up there too!

Sister

Birdgun;

In looking back on old posts, the 6" nickeled Mod. 27, that you posted a picture of in post #21 of this thread, and still have, looks to be a sister of one that I purchased from a bank guard, in 1980. The guard had purchased this 27, for his wife. after one shot, she stated that it kicked like a mule, and wanted nothing more to do with it. the bank guard offered it to me for $275.00, including Wood case, all tools, and papers. I bought it, and still have it. It is the only nickeled modern S&W, that I own. It looks to be in the same age bracket, that yours is in. it is ser. #N49518x, and it looks like it and yours could be "sisters". Here's a picture of mne

...I did sell my first smith and Wesson revolver recently. It was a 4" model 66. Because I told myself, I was never gonna shoot it again.
And I lived happily ever after......

Heretic!

 

[TomkinsSP]

It goes by many names .38 Hand Ejector, Model of 1900, Military and Police, Victory, M10 (and really M64). THE quintessential handgun. Obviously in .38 S&W Special.

 

[BigBill]

586, without a doubt.
It ended my lust for a Python.

Don't give up on owning a Python.

 

[BigBill]

I only like s&w k & n frames. My first preferences were the ruger s/s and RedHawks. My Python I regret selling.

That little s&w k22 I purchased for the grandson really showed me how good the s&w are.

Chubbo, the Model 27 in Post #21 belongs to colt_saa. I must admit, it's a beauty.

God bless,

Of all the S&W revolvers that you own...or want to own...which one is your very best favorite?
God bless,
Birdgun

I have two. My 625-6 .45 Colt "Mountain Gun" (which I carry) and the 1977 cased 29-2 .44 Mag. I inherited from my Dad.

 

[notsofast]

I tried, really I tried, all I can come up with as a "favorite" is the one I'm going to shoot next.

I asked the same question on another website. You see the responses over there also.

What is your favorite Smith and Wesson revolver? - AR15.COM

I agree that it's a really hard question to answer. I've not shot enough to make an informed decision. And the two I have are so opposite, one being a 6" K frame and the other being a J frame, that they are hard to pick one over the other.

I would have to pic as to what I THINK is the best Smith revolver and I'm going to go with a victory model.

My vintage 1942 Victory is my favorite, as well. But I recently bought a seriously used shooter 10-6 that, not surprisingly, I like almost as well.
