Default My New Most Accurate Revolver

I have in the past declared that my pre-war (are there any other kind) S&W 32-20 was my most accurate revolver. Lately I have been putting more rounds down range through my 6" M-57 and now the 57 takes over as the most accurate. Possibly it has to do with break-in, but for whatever the reason, this gun has amazed me for its ability to amaze. Factory 210 grain JSP or what ever I put through it, it will do what it was designed to do. I need to get a really good handgun shooter to try it out so I can confirm what I believe to be true. It is also one of the most handsome guns of its era. What a combination, killer accurate and drop dead gorgeous.

Not so sure the 32-20 is considered super accurate either but mine is.

I would have to say...That's a Beauty! I have a 28 no dash 6", and a 686-3, 6". I will have to do a comparison (side by side accuracy) someday at the range! Bob

Looks as good as it shoots. That's a winning combination.
Congrats on a fine handgun.
