You folks sure do have some nice revolvers.

I have a fondness for Model 28-2s.

@ Geezer, I had a few more, Pythons and such, but when my mother was diagnosed with cancer I sold a few to raise extra funds. What are a few guns when it is your parents. They cared for you when you needed it, now when they need it, do the same.

I have a JM 625 on my wish list.

I am wanting the S&W 610, do not know if I will get it though.

 

[SQLGeek]

That is also on my list.

Sounds to me like your parents raised you well.

Thank you, I try to be the best person I can be, but I am FAR from perfect.

Sorry to hear about your Mother. I understand your situation. My son-in-law is a Marine Veteran and he is currently battling his second round of brain cancer. He is 31 with three children (10, 8, and 4).
My daughter teaches school, takes care of the kids, and tends to her husband. Strongest person I know.

Back when Obama was Pres I bought and sold a lot of S&W revolvers. The older pinned and recessed S&W revolvers are great. I have since sold off most of my revolvers. I retained a 4" M57 no dash and a couple of 6" M629s. I am now too old to play with the 44 mags, but I enjoy short stints with the 41 mag.
The workmanship on older Colts and S&W revolvers is amazing. Considering the time and the tools, the craftsmen were also amazing.
I am a 1911 guy. A 1911 will always will be my first choice, but there is no comparison between a 1911 (even my Wilsons) and an old Colt or S&W revolver when it comes to fit and finish.
Enjoy your revolver.

Kudos to your daughter for standing by her man! Great post

The doctors in Austin were/are very good. She has been cancer free for 4 yrs. now. She also had stroke, lost some memories and minor function, but otherwise she is doing well.

Damn, sorry to hear that. I hope for the best for him and his family.

Glad to hear your Mom is doing as well as can be expected. My son-in-law has been in chemo or proton therapy for over 12 months. His condition has gotten worse, not better. My daughter still believes he will pull through once all of the treatments are completed. His current chemo treatment is so strong, they can only give him one dose per month. We pray for the best, and plan for the worst.

Had the 357PD, I think that was the number in .41 mag about 4 inch barrel, was actually pretty mild shooter.
It was one of the ones I sold, though.
