That's some good juju there... especially like that snubby!

Walked into the Valparaiso show on the spur of the moment yesterday and walked out with this.

Nice! I have always liked that model.

One 649 deserves another. I love 357.

I finally have something to share in this thread. Nothing at all special about it, but it's now mine.

When I got this for Christmas, it didn't dawn on me that I could post it here. But here is my long, long wheelgun.

Here's my Smith and Wesson 610-3. Great shooting gun.

 

[tcecil88]

I would love a Model 610, as well as a 1006. It would give me an excuse to shoot my current 10mm more.

Very nice! I like the black controls.

Thank you guys. I've been waiting on this to be released since it was announced before Thanksgiving last year, and passed by a few really tempting items here in the classifieds to stay the course. I'm really happy with it... fit and finish is fantastic, definitely the best of any S&W revolver I've picked up over the last few years. Silverbullet - the black controls are a bit polarizing on some of the message boards. Indiucky on here pointed out that it gives a sort of "reverse Pinto" look, which it kind of does. I'm more excited about the barrel length. I've been on the lookout for one of the older 2.5" or 3" models, but prices on older well-kept 66's, especially the 3" versions, are through the roof with collectors.

I know all too well about the through the roof prices. I've been trying to complete my collection if every barrel length (revolver) 10mm that Smith and Wesson made. There were 5 different lengths, I have all but one, the most rare one, the 3 inch that only 300 were made. Every one that I've seen lately are north of $2500!
Sadly, I may never compete this collection.
