Welcome to the forum.
Sounds like you have a couple nice guns. I know that S&W model 41 is a very highly respected gun. I see them sell for $600-750 around here.
Is your Automag the .22mag version? If so, how do you like it?
The biggest factor in a collection is it's value to you, so, if you're happy with what you have, it's a great collection. By the way, I beleive a gun collection is only good if you can go out and enjoy them. There is nothing worse then a gun collecting dust in a safe.

thanks for the reply

The AMT .22 mag is the magnum version......
its fun too shoot, loud, big muzzle flash, not much else. Never have been able to be accurate with it.
