Ms. Katz has a small collection of pre-lock smithy wheelies.
Dang that hurt to type.

Love Ms. Katz. She looks like a dirty Cheeto. Also very fond of her gun collection.

I’m like Iggy, so ...

The ones on the left get carried, some more than others. The long barreled ones get babied at the range.

And I like leather holsters also.

Yup,
The leather was all made by a feller down in Texas, but he's retired his cuttin' tools for now.

A lot of that going around.

Howdy

I don't have any Smithies or Wheelies. I do however have a few Smith and Wesson revolvers.

I also don't carry and don't get out into the woods much these days.

However, if I wuz going to I would probably pop this Model 36 Flat Latch from 1961 into my pocket.






Or perhaps this Model 60 from 1975.






Or maybe this Model 63 22/32 Kit Gun from 1980. They called them Kit Guns because they were small enough to pop into your fishing 'kit' (tackle box)






Or maybe a 38S&W Regulation Police from 1924 (at the top)

Or a 32 Regulation Police from, also from 1924 (at the bottom)






Or maybe a K 22 Combat Masterpiece from 1953.






Or maybe it's big brother, a K 38 Combat Masterpiece, also from 1953.






Or maybe I'd get all nostalgic and grab an old Top Break 38 Double Action or 32 Double Action. The 38 is from 1898, I'm not sure when the 32 left the factory.






Or maybe I'd grab a Baby Russian from 1876.






Or maybe a 32 Single Action from 1889.






Or maybe a Bicycle Revolver from from 1909.






So many to choose from.

Thanks Driftwood! I am sure many were waiting for you to reply!

Far from classic- some day it will be. Smith and Wesson 337-1 Kit gun 3.2" barrel Hi Viz sights. 12 oz. 38 Spl + P

Having used S&W revolvers for a half century or so, I thought I'd heard them all. But I learned a name for them I'd never heard before, "Smithies". I'd heard Smith and Western, but Smithies is a new one to me

What about Smiffs? There is also Massblasta. I have heard Smiff and Western.

To those offended by the terms or who've never heard them, the old timers used them in conversation quit a bit.

I guess I'm pretty wet behind the ears, I've only been shooting S&W revolvers for a bit more than 40 years.

Years here too !
First one I owned was a Model 34 given to me when I turned 21 by an uncle. First one I bought was a model 37 3" I bought in Monterey Calif when 22 . I recently gave it to my Daughter in law a few years ago..

I currently have 3 Smiths, a 10, 38 & 58
All 3 will take off a Gnats behind at 10 yards.

Got to love these threads. I don't mess around with S&W revolvers.

Only the best for me or I don't buy them...I don't do locks. I don't do MIM parts. I barely do model numbers and if it doesn't have a pinned barrel, I have nothing to do with it.

I am available for adoption.

Smithies and Wheelies?
If I correctly translated that into English, I think it means Smith & Wesson Revolvers.

Yeah, I’ve got a few of those.

bc123- That's about the most pristine collection of Smiths I've ever seen.

I can live with that!

An outstanding (and positively stunning), collection of S&W revolvers!

Love the 1938 Registered Magnum!
