Please Reintroduce Mountain Gun
Please reintroduce the S&W Mountain Gun
Series of Revolvers. I think this would be
a great addition and bring back the Romance
in S&W Revolvers
Calibers in 41Mag, 44Mag, and 45Colt should
be considered.
Thank you S&W for reading this.

Don’t forget the 617 Mountain Gun. It’s the closest thing to a model 618 that was never produced.

I know it will never happen, but I’d love to see a 5 shot N Frame 454 mountain gun. Something to compete with the Super Redhawk Alaskan. 45 Colt is one of my favorite rounds to shoot and to reload for, due to its versatility from cream puff to full on wrist breaker. I like the ability to shoot some super hot loads on occasion, and that’s just not possible in the 25/625 like it is in the Rugers.

Typically it has a four inch barrel. No more than four, but, I am not sure if there were any shorter.
The barrel is tapered right off the frame. Not a 'heavy' barrel.
And, the billboard on the side of the barrel that says, "Mountain Gun".
Here is one of my S&W Model 617-6 Mountain Guns.
enjoy,

A Model 610 MG would be just the ticket for me.

Great defender against bears and back home loaded with specials, two legged varmints as well. Classic gun.

What about the 386 Mountain Lite L-frame with the alloy frame, titanium cylinder and 3 1/8 inch barrel? 7 rounds of .357, easy to carry and the grip frame just the right size to handle the recoil. Not a target gun for sure.

Here is my 686-4 Plus 7 shooter Mountain Gun
A perfect pack'n revolver in 357 Mag. Needs an SDM fiber optic front sight though.

Does anyone know the weight difference of a 4 inch 29-3 and a 4 inch 44 magnum Mountain Gun?

I do not have either to weigh, but as I recall, the 4" Model 29 is about 44 ounces, and the stainless Mountain Gun was around 39 ounces. My guess is roughly 5 ounces difference.

A blued MG chambered in 45 ACP would be nice. I have the fixed sighted version, the Model 22-4.
