6" S&W 19.

Owned many different revolvers (and autos) over the years but now I own 2 revolvers and one is a 4" 19.

First revolver was/is an early 1950s Smith K22 Masterpiece my dad bought new and gave me in the early 1970s. Was reblued in approx 1963 as it had some rust on it. He left Cuba in late 1960 about 6 months after we did on a self built sailboat and was able to smuggle out his 4 firearms. The other firearms (rifle, shotgun, another handgun) all survived with no problems, but this one started rusting. Still shoots great though!

First revolver was given to me by my Uncle as a gift and it was a Smith Wesson 28-2 Hwy Patrolman. I'm still regretting the day I sold it. I have picked up another one but the sentiment isn't the same. I shot that old revolver so so well....

Almost no one has their first revolver, almost always to their regret.

Half and half. My very first revolver was a model 19, the only handgun that ever jammed for me. Don't really miss it. Another revolver, which I bought around the same time was a Super Blackhawk in 44mag. Wish I still had that one.

I just this week got my first revolver. S&W Model 610-3 10mm/.40 cal with 4” barrel. Stainless steel shoots my .40 cal ammo with moon clips. Always been a 1911/semi-auto guy.

One hell of a gun. I had a 610 years ago and--drum roll--regret selling it!

This was the last gun I was looking to get. I now have acquired every one that I want.
