I'm curious...what is the "purpose" (not that you need one) of purchasing variations (or even duplicates) of the same model (e.g., M 19)?
Some of us M 19-deprived hopefuls might consider that "hoarding" rather than "collecting".
Do you buy and sell - or just buy?
I'm afraid my formerly blue eyes have turned green.

I like 19's.....what can I say, I see one and it must go home with me.
I dont sell, just buy for my enjoyment, only sold 1 gun in my life

Wow! lots of nice S&W wheelies. Now if I could get lucky and get one decent specimen from Smith... 2 for 2 have been lemons for me.
Twice bitten, thrice shy.

I kinda thought that might be the case...
I'd do the same thing if I could afford it - and I'd never sell, either.

KB: I'm curious about what you bought and what the problems were?
Using the Revolver sticky on gun check out might alleviate the problem of picking lemons.
It's not too late to find a good used Smith revolver.
Sadly, I only own two hand guns - both are classic S&Ws. It's a start.

Bob,
One was a new 637-2 that passed all of the tests in the sticky. However, it had a slightly crooked barrel that I failed to notice until I shot it (horrible accuracy, even for a snub). It was returned to the factory and "fixed". I got it back with the same barrel, over-torqued and misaligned. Also, the frame is now warped and has an uneven B/C gap at a whopping 0.010 - 0.014 as a result of the "repair".
It is now going back again with a request for a total replacement.
The other was a S&W built Walther PPK/S I bought for my wife. Bought it new as well. It was one of the worst performing and least reliable guns I have ever owned. Traded that back to the dealer at a loss after about 500 rounds with many failures.
Once they send me the new 637, I will likely get rid of it and be done with the company. Between the poor initial craftsmanship, and lazy repair service, I see no reason to waste any more time/money/nerves on them.

KB: Thanks for sharing (apologies for thread-drift). I am also not inclined to purchase a new Smith. Fortunately, there are many wonderful classics out there that are well-made and reasonably priced - as Landpimp has so amply demonstrated.

I found long ago, when you find something you like,but at least 1 more as they wont be there when you need another. Well thats true.....its no excuse that I have 7x HK P7 series, 10+ HK P9s...3x93, etc etc
well thats what I did with Land Cruisers, had darn near 2 of each model, I sold off the spares a few years back to friends at what my cost was, didnt make a dime. Kinda a karma thing I guess
favorite, I think there are 2, one is the nickle 19-4 2.5" and the other is a plain jain 686 4"........beacuse that was THE ACTAULL(his assigned duty gun) gun the deputy arrested me in 1985 was wearing that night.......there is more to the story, but it change my life and how i got that gun....well it was ment to be mine.

Extremely nice representation of the manufacturer's art.
Let me know if you get tired of maintaining all those irons. See under the new Administration we need to reapportion your wealth to those of us in need.

I always thought I was a S&W man. I guess I'm a S&W boy! That is a great collection. I like that you're a patient buyer. We can probably all learn something from that lesson!
