You might be too young to think in these terms, but would you call them forever guns? I own several revolvers too, but I can only think of one, possibly a couple more, that I would call forever guns. One is my Ruger Security-six, which is the firearm I've owned the longest. Funny, in looking for a photo I see my caption actually identifies it as a forever gun!

Image Info: I've owned this gun longer than any other gun still in my gun safe. It is the last gun I'd ever get rid of. Built in 1981.

Probably another forever gun is my Ruger GP100:

Two more I might keep forever are my Ruger Speed-six and my blue Security-six:

Image Info: My six-inch Security-six .357 Magnum that probably dates to 1980, at a guess, although I only acquired it around 2017. It is shown wearing Sile stocks.

The last one on my maybe list is my Colt Official Police:

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Yes. Why yes they are.
