NEW 629 and 686 NO LOCK MOUNTAIN GUNS ANNOUNCED!

[gto364ci]

Well, S&W is going to get my money on a new revolver for the first time in a long time. Almost gave up hope on ever seeing a no-l*** L-frame again.

Ordered the .44 yesterday. I looked on Tyler's website. He has the grips available. About $299 a pair.

Anyone heard of these touching down yet at LGS’s?

 

[Invictus357]

There is no longer any reason that SW cannot offer all of their revolvers with a no-lock option.

I own five IL Smiths.

I will replace every single one when the no lock variants appear.

 

[PHS327]

I had heard they were suppose to ship the first week in February. I wonder why I haven't seen one yet.

 

[Barbarosa99]

I got an email from Closner and he said 686’s will start shipping in March.

 

[Timbo22]

This really REALLY good news!

I have a 4" 624, a 629-3 (Mtn. Revolver), Mtn. Guns in 45 C & ACP, and a slim barrel 686 plus (7 shot w/the lock) so I already have revolvers like this. BUT I would also like a 657 Mtn. Gun in 41 Mag.

These remakes are a great step in the right direction. Kudos to Lipseys and S&W!

Up to you, but if any of those 5 are nicely sorted, accurate, etc, replacing them with a new one that may or may not be seems odd.

My 686-6 is just about perfect in every way, save for the hole (disabled). It ain't going anywhere.

 

[SLT223]

I just called Smith and Linsey’s this afternoon. Smith didn’t know, and Lipsey’s said they were supposed to have them two weeks ago.

I hope everyone with a lock model sells them in order to get the newest latest and greatest.

I know how to put the plug in the lock model. That little circle won’t bother me much if I can get the gun for a bargain basement price.

 

[CALREB]

All steps in the right direction. Andrew said at the symposium, that they were more projects coming. I will probably never think of a revolver as a fighting gun, unless I have to. Even though I carried one, or more, daily for 15 years plus. I have a 5" 686 set up as my field gun when I am out on the property. Stuck a Dawson F/O front sight on it for the dark woods, so I probably won't be getting one of these. Plus, I'm an old guy with a bunch of revolvers.

I do like the one piece thicker barrel, detent lockup, stronger and frees up the cylinder a bit, like a PPC gun. The other custom touches are nice. I will have to see if I can get one or two of those front sights, they are nice.. The grips uuhhh not so much, but better than what they have now.

I am really glad for new shooters that want a nice revolver, finally something that looks good and should shoot good. They need to come out with a 617 version so new shooters can really afford to practice. I might even have to check one of those out. Maybe after SW sees how these things sell, they will come out with some on their own.

Still a great job S&W, Lipsey's and Andrew.

My LGS said don't hold my breath about ordering any new S&W No Lock in California. 2026 if ever...

 

[Zimm]

I emailed Lipseys and their reply was the 686 will ship in "March".

I posted some where above that I Emailed Lipsey's and they said they are working on getting these rostered.
Still, it is California so the dealer may be right. Hopefully they aren't discontinued before that happens.

 

[M25max]

When will these Mountain Guns hit dealers?

When will these Mountain Guns hit dealers?

Post #153 says March

 

[Gotboost2jz]

The wait is killing me. I haven’t been this excited about a new release pistol ever. Placed an order with my local lipseys dealer the second I heard about them. I really hope a March release date is correct.

 

[Mike SC Hunter]

Don't know if a 22 can qualify as a mountain gun but I would really like a 617 with a slim barrel. The full lug barrel on mine is needlessly heavy for a 22.

They made a few mdl 617 mtn guns.........All gone before I could get one.....BD Greene a member here has several and has posted pics in the past.

 

[The Norseman]

357 Mtn Gun

Today I got my name on the list for the
2025 S&W Mountain Gun 357 S&W Mag.

First on the list. We’ll see how that goes.
March 2025 you say.

Lipsey's stated that these are not limited run guns.
