S&W(NYSP)Model 520: I'm proud of this acquisition!

[boa2]

Here are some pictures of a revolver that I was so proud to have fairly recently, acquired! It is an Smith & Wesson(NYSP)Model 520(.357 magnum)revolver. I was extremely lucky to have found this 520-but, I'd love to own a dozen of these(But, I doubt if I'll ever get the chance to find another one of these guns!)?:

You SHOULD be proud. She's a beauty.
Congratulations.

Beautiful revolver, congrats. Will it be a shooter or safe queen? If you shoot it, how about a range report? Enjoy it! Regards 18DAI.

 

[boa2]

No, this 520 is going to stay as a safe queen! It's just too beautiful to shoot it and to destroy it's beauty! I might shoot my model 28-2 instead? Thanks, for your compliment, 18DAI!

I heard those were made of radioactive steel and are dangerous to have around. You should send it to me and save yourself.

 

[18DAI]

I don't blame you for wanting to keep it like new. If I could find one of those, I'd be tempted to keep it in the safe too. That blueing is really nice. They sure won't make them like that again. Regards 18DAI.

You lucky dog! The 520 is one of my dream S&W revolvers. There's just something about a fixed-sight N-frame...


I'm afraid I'd have to tote it on an occasional basis, though...

I wish they still made em that way.

BTW, prior to adopting the 357 , the NYSP carried the Colt New Service in 45 Colt for many years.
