Default The .44 Special

It seems S&W revolvers in .44 Special seem to be getting a little scarce around these parts. I would like a five or six shot, stainless adj sights and 3" barrel. Like the 624 or 696. How about another run of them S&W ?

I been thinking of a charter arms bulldog with the 44 russian ammo for the misses to CCW carry. I'm just afraid of the feral & rabid animals when she walks the dogs. Plus we have yotes the size of a lab.

A simple re-issue of the 696 or 696-1 would sell a run of 5000
in a year or 2 methinks. Maybe less. Make those guys who want
$1200 for one now think twice. I want one for less

I just purchased my dealers last brand new N frame in 44 special in nickel she's a M24 with a 6 1/2" barrel. He only has a new M629 classic 4" in 44mag and a M625 4" in 45lc left out of the case full of N frames he had. If these two stay there a while i may save up some more mad $$ and grab them too. But its a big maybe....

My only problem so far with the M24 with the 6 1/2" barrel is the barrel is lighter than the magnum barrels. But time will tell i haven't shot it yet.

I'll take a 624 3 inch and then I want a 610. And yes, keep those hilary holes on other guns I don't wish to purchase.

Seconded.

Also, a J-frame .44 Spl with a 2" barrel, 5 shot, fixed sight, CC gun.

Sorry, but it'll never happen. Geometry is against you. The J and K cylinders just aren't large enough to squeeze in .44 chambers. Consider the L-frames, whose cylinder diameter is just barely large enough to permit five .44 rounds. That's as small a wheel as you can use.

I had a CA Bulldog.44 that was close to J-frame size, IIRC (but it shot awfully). That was the idea- I'd like to see that sort of gun made by S&W.

Come on Smith are you listening? A 4 inch barrel on a L frame would sure be nice.

Give me a new 4 inch (or maybe 3 1/2 inch) 1950 Military .44 Spl. to toss in my night stand. Make it with the a big tritium dot front sight, like the NightGuards, mated with a large U notch in the frame.

Default The 44 Special

Is this the type of gun we wish Smith would make ?
I got it partially done here on the forum from another member.
my local gunsmith finished it up for me and as far as I can tell did a great job.
I picked it up on way home from work so I have not shot it yet.
But , it sure seems like a winner.
It is a 686 no dash frame , with a five inch barrel that has been bored to 44 caliber.
The cylinder is a 696, and appears to have been NOS, as it does not seem to have been used.
So, I will shoot it in the next day or two and will report how it shoots.

I'd like a 3" L-frame similar to the 696, but in BLUE!
AND NO LOCK!
I'll also second the motion for a 5" Model 24.
