I hate you.... j/k nice collection and nice photography.

Thanks...I'd actually call it an "Accumulation", rather than a "Collection", for TWO reasons...FIRST, OTHER THAN the Model 26 GSP Commemorative, none I have are too RARE or too VALUABLE to be fired...I'm still "Up In The Air" on the GSP gun, gotta' be HONEST about THAT, 'cause it's still UNFIRED...

The SECOND reason is that, unlike the really SERIOUS "Collectors" I know, my "Accumulation" doesn't seem to follow any particular Direction or "Theme"...some of the SERIOUS guys SPECIALIZE in pre-WWII Hand Ejectors, some in post-WWII "Five-Screws", heck, I even know a guy who SPECIALIZES in JUST the "Dash One" Variants...I just pick 'em up if they "Tickle My Fancy" at the time, LOL....mikey357

FWIW, I just picked up a Model 30-1 because 1. It tickled my fancy and 2. I like .32's. This will make my third S&W in .32 caliber. You are corect in your terminology. Accumulation is a good word to use. I've been very fortunate to accumulate some very desirable and in some cases collectible S&W revolvers. They are all shooters though.

Mikey that is quite the collection man, nice pics.

 

[mikey357]

Yeah, the lil' .32's are a HOOT to SHOOT! STRANGEST one I ever had was a Ruger SP-101 that some YAHOO had sent to Jack Weigand for his "Tame The Beast" Package, COMPLETE with his "Hybra-Porting"--on an all-steel .32!!!

I will say that it shot REAL WELL, with his "Action Job" and all...but I like the Smith & Wesson I-, Improved I- and J-Frame .32's better, so the Ruger "Went On Down The Road"...

Wheeler, when you have a chance, "Post Up" some Pics of those .32's!....mikey357

 

[Wheeler]

Ask and you shall receive. I think I posted a couple of these before. I need a better camera.

1903 Hand Ejector I frame. This one was probably made in the 20's

Model 16-4 .32 Mag. I picked this up in 1990 or 91 for $225 with only 6 rounds through it.

My newest toy, a Model 30-1. I haven't had the opportunity to shoot it yet but I'm sure it will be as much fun as the others.

 

[mikey357]

Those are some NICE .32's, Mr. Wheeler! Let us know how the Model 30-1 shoots, when you have a chance...Thanks!....mikey357
