The last s&w nickel plated n frame revolver my LGS had on the sale was a s&w m24/6 1/2" barrel 44 special. I have no clue why I purchased it, but the nickel caused temporary blindness. It's still growing roots in the safe unshot. I didn't want the ring inside the chambers that forms from shooting 44 specials in a 44 mag. Lol plus one more nickel smith.
