Several years ago I was really wanting a model 24, but could not find one in nice shape that I could afford at the time. So I settled for a 624 with a 6" barrel instead. Seemed like a good fit for me since I already had a 29-2 with a 4" barrel and a 29-3 with an 8 3/8th barrel.
I`m glad I decided to get it. Turned out to be one of the most accurate Smiths I own. It will hold it`s own against my model 14-2.
Still would have prefered a blue model 24, but I`m very happy with the 624.
It`s a great shooter and fits in nicely with my other N Frames.
