Your Last S&W Revolver Acquisition???

[Birdgun]

What was your latest, most recent, S&W Revolver purchase or acquisition?

This was mine.

I received this fine revolver in April, 2018. It replace a Model 17 that I had given to a good Army buddy of mine upon his retirement from the US Army.

Earlier in our military careers, my buddy and I were visiting an uncle of mine in the panhandle of Oklahoma. One of those days, we went hunting prairie dogs and I watched my buddy take my Model 17-3 and kill a prairie dog at a 97 paces (almost 100 yards). My buddy assumed a sitting position, two-handed hold, with arms resting on his knees. Shooting single-action, his first shot was just slightly high. The second shot hit the dog but didn't kill it and it started crawling back to its hole. His quick third shot dispatched the critter.

That was the best shooting exhibitions I have ever seen with a .22 LR revolver!! Ever since that day, my buddy had coveted my Model 17 and we often talked about that day he killed the prairie dog at 97 paces. So upon his retirement from the US Army, I gave my buddy my Model 17-3.

So after several years, I replaced the Model 17-3 with this fine Model 17-4.

S&W Model 17-4 "K22 Masterpiece" in .22 Long Rifle

This revolver is also a Tack Driver! It's much more accurate than I'm capable of shooting it.

Thanks for looking at my last S&W revolver purchase.

God bless,

I bought a S&W Model 27-6, six-inch, from the buy/sell area of this forum. It is "shooter grade" and has some visible wear, not pinned and no recessed chambers, but it is from the era of my formative years in shooting. (late 80's/early 90's) I have a fondess for S&W revolvers from exactly this period of time.

Last S&W revolver acquisition

Last week I picked up this 38/44 OD. It has the limited production 6 1/2" barrel and left the factory in March of 1932. All numbers matching. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

Technically not my latest acquisition (bought it as a basket case about five years ago), but I only recently sourced the parts and repaired it. Got it back from being refinished about two weeks ago. I know this type of "resto-mod" isn't for everybody, but it still shoots every bit as well as its more traditionally finished siblings .
Good shootin',

Model 38-1 like new, no box!

My latest S&W revolver purchase was a couple of months ago when I picked up this S&W Model 36 Square Butt for $250 AUD. It had been previously owned by a security company. I had been after one for a while to fit into my New South Wales Police Force issued Handgun collection. These were issued to Detectives who wanted something smaller than the standard issue 3" HB Model 10's.

 

[pharmer]

well, I sold the 642-1 (middle right) along with the 64-2 on top left. I replaced the 642-1 with an identical 642-1 so technically I still have all the guns in the photo except the 64 with the funky Bianchi grip. Although I think I still have the grip, new owner wanted stock RB's.

The money I got for the 64 (minus $125) was spent on an equally frivolous 640-1. Joe

Wow! I can't remember. It has been quite a while. But this one is the last one to become special to me:

Customized Model 64 with Model 12 2" barrel, trigger work (necessary!), Naval engraving, Cerakote.

I had to think what my last revolver purchase was and it was this Model 631 Lady Smith. Its been awhile since I bought it . My more recent purchases have been non S&W or Second/Third Gen semi autos.

Got it for $550 OTD with two, twenty round boxes of Hornady JHP personal defense ammo. All in all, not a bad deal.

 

[Kurusu]

A model 1955 25-2 With 6 1/2 barrel.
And a week later a model 27-2 with 3 1/2 inch barrel.

Bought them from Germany. I'll be lucky if I get my hands on them before February.

Dont you just love red tape?

Picked up this 657-2 Classic Hunter a few months ago. I replaced the factory Hogue grips with factory combat grips, which I think elevated it to the next level.
