I've amassed a small collection of S&W revolvers over the past two years, all L or N frames. (28-2, 29-3, 586, 625-8, 686-1) Since I'm not a fan of snubbies, the J frames don't hold much appeal for me. However, I am interesting in the K frames after handling and shooting a friend's 10-5.
Priorities in order:
- blued!!
- 38spl (.357 nice but not necessary)
- 6" barrel
- pinned and recessed
- shrouded extractor
Unless I'm mistaken the model 19 is the only K frame to meet all of the above. The 14 and 15 were available in the longer barrels, but only after pinned and recessed had gone the way of the dodo bird. The revolver will strictly be a target gun, no carry or household duties intended.
I'm looking for thoughts and opinions on the models mentioned above (13,14,19) and any others that I might have missed. Actually, thoughts on the k frame in general and things I should look out for during my "hunt" would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
