You All Have Cost Me a Lot of $$$

[Matt40]

After joining the S&W forum in March, primarily as a pistol owner, I learned a lot about revolvers and how much fun they are to own and shoot. In fact, many of you cautioned me about getting the wheel-gun fever. Well, since then I've purchased a Model 10-14 and a Model 60-16 pro. Even though I'm very happy with those guns, I decided I needed more. So, as my fever peaked to a new high , I rounded out my holdings with a new Governor and a Model 627-5 (see below). I hope this will carry me to the end of the year!

Check out some of the older S&W 's.

A 10-5, 29-2, 27-2 or 28-2 are all good places to start.

You'll enjoy the craftsmanship.

We're all really sorry about the money thing.

Nice revolvers - congrats!

I feel your pain man. I joined this forum while I was off work for a while doing some recuperating. It has cost me a few bucks as well.



fun huh?

Ha! That's just the beginning.

You remember that song "We've only just begun?" Well ol podner, you're in deep doo-doo.

Oh blank. It's on now. U gots da fever. B T W there aint no cure. Welcome to the club. Great group. Great products. I would rather tie up my money in them than waste it on stuff I can't put in my hands and appreciate. Quality , craftsmanship, comroderi what's not to like. Good luck on your future acquisitions. Now you need to join the S&WCA & NRA if u are not a member already. Great group or people.

On the bright side, you can always sell them if you want your money back. In the meantime, enjoy them, and don't forget to introduce a few others to them.

My goal is to empower the wallet's freedom. I think; therefore I spend. Well done.

Your story is nothing new here pal. Most of us suffer from the same affliction and love every minute of it. Just embrace it and enjoy.

 

[Jim PHL]

You're off to a great start! Three excellent choices.

Actually, Matt40, you're a bit behind. c'mon, man, keep up!
Nice collection of bits and bobs you picked up; I especially like the 627!

I signed on in Jan, since then... 360PD, 60-14LS (that was for Barbara, but she liked the 360PD so...), 31 flat latch, 34 flat latch, M&P 340, WWII Victory, post-war K22 Masterpiece, 617 no dash (oh, yeah, and the baby chief I traded for the 617), 640 Pro. I'm finished for the year, too, unless....

I no longer have the 60 or the 34.

Hey Matt40, I bought a new 627-5 a year ago. I never could hit very well with it so it sat, mostly forgotten till I took it out of its rug this week. I needed a rug for another gun. Mine had some roughness in the action and the grips didn't fit my hand well. I was actually about ready to sell it. Early this week I decided to pull the side plate to remove and clean the insides. I left the factory main spring, replaced the trigger return spring with a 13# and lightly polished the rebound slide. A light lube and some moly grease made the action so much smoother. Then I put factory Hogue rubber grips from a new 629 on. Took it to the range two days ago and couldn't believe the difference! Sort of like getting an expensive new gun for free. It's very accurate rested and the (for me) much better grips allow a solid high hold which makes it fun to shoot it double action off-hand. I'm usually not very good with N frames in off-hand shooting but this 627 is a revelation. Recoil and muzzle rise are minimal for a 357. Enjoy that gun!

Wait until it expands to .44 fever. Good luck with that.

When I joined up in 2002... I think I had 4 S&W's to my name. Now look... you're only just warming up the band... and these aren't even current pics, I have a "few more" that need to be added to bring them current.

You've fallen in with a bunch of unrepentant, reprobate enablers here... God help you
