Purchased my first Smith & Wesson this spring as part of an estate purchase (highway Patrolman 357). Brought it to the range and liked it, was not a revolver fan prior to this. Once they announced the handgun ban, the fear of missing out hit me hard and I decided to significantly add to the herd.
I have always liked older firearms from the 50’s, 60’s & 70’s. The S&W below are all 12.6, the pricing was right and they were hard to pass up. Where the pricing on many pistols went through the roof, I felt the 12.6 actually went down. Due to reasonable pricing, decided to get spare pistols instead of spare parts.
Top row 357’s, second row 22 lr, remaining 2 rows 38 Special
Have not tried them all yet but my favourite shooters so far are in the second photo. Model 36 2” barrel with rubber grips, model 36 3” barrel with target grips, Model 13 357 3” barrel and the model 19 Combat Magnum 4” barrel. Model 19 was manufactured in 1950’s and is excellent condition, came with original box.

Absolutely stunning collection!!!!
My new Steel Challenge revolver optics division tool.
Taurus 838 in .38SPL.
Good trigger job, extended cilinder release, picatiny rail, Vector Optics Frenzy red dot, custon wood grips.
Very happy with the final results, especially with the great trigger job my gunsmith did, almost on pair with a good S&W Performance Center.
Weekend we will have our first 2023 big match, in fact, our Brazilian Steel Challenge Nationals.
Wish me luck boys!!!!

A couple recent arrivals
Is there a reason for the different hammer spur geometry?
