New Heavy Duty N-Frame 357 Magnum Revolver

[TheSinfulSaint]

Came across this in another forum. S&W has this "SMU/BUNDLE SERIES" heavy duty 357, kind of retro look. The price is way up there and if it was more "normal", I would be looking into this.

Anyone has or handled one of these?

I think I created this in the wrong section.

Requesting admins move this to correct sub-forum?

Is there such a thing as a "light duty" .357 magnum pistol?

Styled like the .357's precursor, the .38-44 Heavy Duty. They were shooting modern pressure .357 loads out of those guns, in the guise of hot .38 loads. Many were rechambered to .357 by their owners, and continued on to this very day. Nice looking gun, but rather spendy.

Good looking revolver. Too expensive for me to shoot 38 spl because I can't afford 357 magnum ")

Really it's just a remake of the Model 520. S&W has figured out they can remake the less common variations from the past and sell enough to make money. Bet there's just one run of them.

Never cared for the small Nframe grip style.

If so, I 'm crossing my fingers for the 296, the 547, the 12, ...

I like it - except it still has the g-damn Hillary hole.

I once had this gun in the 6 inch model.

The rear sight broke, I had it replaced, then sold it.

Loved that gun for years, can’t remember how much I bought and sold it for.

Model 27 raffs at this thread.

 

[Geezer]

Model 28s are giggling, too.

And it likely has the same dreadful modern S&W trigger, too....

Upon further research there was an order for a 1000 model 20's in 357 slated for the Pennsylvania State police. The 520 is a pencil barrel service sighted 28 if research serves. The 20 is the next evolution of the 38-44 heavy duty. I have 520 and she is a beaut. The new model 20 Hillary hole+ mim parts= negatory ghost rider. Your milage may vary.

Love the lines of it but not a fan of the half moon front sight.
