You guys are making me feel bad for trading off my 696 years ago.

I love my old school S&W, never buy anything made today.

Check out the old timers in this family attachment, the youngest is a 1937 Brazilian.

Quote from: Spencer

HHEEEEYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! Not fair, it seems a couple people stole my idea about a K .32 magnum. I would suggest a K frame .32 magnum in the mountain gun style (4" tapered barrel, shrouded ejector rod) with the old style deep blue, no lock, wood grips. they could even make it a 7 or 8 shot if they wanted.

That is my dream S&W

I'd buy one, but I'd prefer a 6" barrel.

Also, how about a blued centennial model, in .38 special.

Other than that, I'm kind of partial to the blued mountain guns and the new model 25 .45acp. The 25 would match my old model 10 :grin:

Whoops, I think I meant model 22.

I saw a 625 with an 8 3/8 barrel this week that I sure would like to buy.
I'm out of work now so it is just a "Dream"...........Jim

I've got lots and lots but I think I've found what I've been looking for in the 500 4"!

It would be this one. My 5" pinned and recessed full lugged M29-2.

In no specific order.

Model 27, Nickel, 4" barrel, pinnned and recessed, TT, TH, diamond target grips.

I believe it would have been a Model 52 with matching numbers. It was an experimental N fram chambered in 22 Hornet. Only several produced for testing, never sent to full production though because of gas cutting problems. There are several floating around though that are matching numbers from the experimental stage. There are also some put together from parts that were made but never assembled. Those won't have matching numbers

Model 53 6" barrel, TT, TH, diamond target grips. While the 22 Jet is only good for varmints I think it would be fun to have and there are not many out there since it never really caught on.

I have a 2-1/2" 44 mag that mag na port did in 1992 for me. has ss metalife finish, crown barrel, rounded K frame butt an semi bobbed hammer and action job. It is a pretty sweet set up. I raelly like it best of all my smiths. They sure have made alot of nice guns over yhe years. I agree with an earlier post, a 10mm in a model 945 would be great too.

I've got most of the factory offerings that I wanted, though I would still like a Triple Lock and 5" 27. But, for modern offerings, I'm not waiting on S&W, and am going to try building what I want at the moment. I want a .44 Special L-frame without a full-lug barrel. I haven't decided on whether to use a 686 or a 681 (would have been 586 or 581 if I could have gotten a carbon steel 5-shot .44 cylinder for it) as the base gun. I hope to find someone with a 686+ Mountain Gun barrel for sale so that I may have it re-bored to .44, and, if I go with the 681, I will probably have the rib ground off and a Weigand Combat interchangeable front sight base put in with multiple half-moon inserts tailored to the loads of my choosing. I still have not decided whether I am going to cut the barrel back to 3" or leave it at 4", though. I'm leaning towards 3" since it will be a field carry, as well as a concealed carry revolver, and I just like 3" S&Ws. I would be quite appreciative if anyone has a Mountain Gun barrel they are interested in parting with, as that one piece has been the snag in my plans thus far! If I build it on the fixed-sight frame, I think I'll call it a 691 Mountain Gun. :grin:
