Hello, I am new to the forum and was wondering if anyone was familiar with the SPECIAL edition 44Magnum "The Attack" Smith and Wesson ?

I just recently purchased one that came in the original box with stamped serial # matching the one on the gun. It also says special on the label.

The only thing is that the label states a barrel of 8 3/8 inch but the barrel on the gun is actually 7 1/2 inches.

Was wondering if anyone out there knows if all of these LIMITED SPECIAL EDITION (500 made) had 7 1/2 inch barrels and if they all came in boxes that stated a 8 3/8 inch barrel ?

Thanks in advance !
