What says you? The one quintessential S&W "Revolver" every Smith collector must have in their collection?

[CQB27]

Ns, Ks, I,s and J frames.......Ain't no way to pick one.

Show me a guy with one S&W revolver in his collection and I'll show you a guy who don't really collect S&W's.

But if I could have just one.......28-1 Highway Patrolman or the Registered Magnum (with certificate) shipped to some Army General who's initials are GSP. It ain't much to ask, I know, lol.

10 for a selection, 19 for a collection

Registered Magnum may be the most important though. The original 357 Mag.

Fixed it for you, lol.

The Model 27 is the original .357 for the poors.......Like Me!

My first revolver was the K-38 Combat Masterpiece, first 357 was the model 19. The 686+ I have now is a combination of both.

Early Model 60 snubby for the win. I have more than a few, but could always use a few more!

29 or 29-2. If you don't have one, why bother with a Smith at all? jk

I say the quintessential S&W revolver is actually a police revolver, blued steel,
4 inch barrel, and in .357 magnum
(a round the company developed in the late 1930's).
It could be a K-frame or the N-frame.

I've had a model 15 before. I think I'd like the same thing in 357 mag, so that would be called a model 19 "combat magnum."

To many great revolvers to pick one. I have to sit this one out due to no tacos today..

Model 36....still looking for a snubby!

Me, too.
Still looking for a home for my latest set of stag grips.

Gotta lotta J-frames, want a slightly worn 36 for these.

So you decided to list a 686 instead of a 586, you just like that model in stainless better unlike the others in the list?

My choice would be a 19, have had a few over the years, always keep one in the safe.

I carry a 60 on occasion
