I'll start off with this hand cannon.

S&W Model 629-1 .44 Magnum (pre-lock). This was my later father's gun. As far as I can tell it was manufactured between 1982 and 1986. It is and is not fun to shoot. :D

Do you always run factory 44MAG ammo thru it or do you run 44 Special as well? The latter would tame it down and make it a little more palpable, or handloading softer 44 Mag rounds could split the difference. It's a very nice piece, no doubt!

Does anyone know if the full size slide (5” barrel) on the m&p 2.0 will fit the full size CA compliant version ?

New M&P 2.0 (CA roster version) with a few added goodies: new slide, EPS, Sig Foxtrot 2R, and some Howie's pro grip hockey tape on the grip, love the M&P grip but it's a little rough for appendix carry. Removed the magazine disconnect and will probably remove the manual safety after I've added it to my CCW. It's OK for my County but my CCW cert class doesn't allow any mods to safety mechanisms. LOVE this gun. My new favorite.
Picking 4" compact out of jail in a few days, did you get your slide milled?

The next time someone gives me a hard time about my smith revolver collection I’m going to send them here. That’s next level. 🙌
 
S&W 351 PD. This is my camp carry.

S&W 627 4 inch. I'd been looking for the 4" version for a long time and finally found one a few years ago.
