Back in 79', IHMSA was just getting started in MI. I was using a 6" Mod. 19 S&W..purchased an 8 3/8" Mod. 27..shot this for a couple of years..got up into AAA class & then went to an 8 3/8" S&W Mod. 57 .41 mag. Won a few state championships.
I had a Mod. 25-2 that went back (1979) to S&W and they made a .45 LC cylinder for it. So then I had a "convertible". Then in 1982 I traded it for a Mod. 57 8 3/8" that has taken 7 Mule deer (all with the issue sights and cast bullets) and entered a lot of IHMSA matches with it. Two years ago I finally found the Mod. 58 I have been searching for. These are my two favorite revolvers!
Great guns! I believe my favorite is the 29-5 in the Classic with the heavier barrel - it has all the endurance features and the cylinder throats are just the right size for the bore and it sure does shoot good!

RE: N frame SW's any fans here?
Never had one of those Classics but got to shoot a few rds from one. They are nice shooting. Last 2 years the 29-3 around here is getting most of the action. bobw
MY first handgun was a S&W M28 6" Wish I still had it. I started IMSHA with it. Owned a 625 Miculek for a while. and carried a M24 3 inch for a while for work at times. All I have a M29 4" Mountain gun now. Would not mind finding another M28.

RE: N frame SW's any fans here?
I regret that my camera is a bit obsolete and no longer capable of first quality shots. It is a bit like me. I simply wanted to share a view of my pets. Their factory stocks are preserved separately from the guns. I can't stand Smith factories.
