Couldn't get it to function reliably with my WFN-GC 200 grain reloads. So I sent it down the road. Tried all sorts of cures to no effect. Just me?

Mine was a 657 not sure of the dash. It was the 6" Brand new in the box, probably 1980 or so 41

I'd imagine the new Mt Gun will handle up to 45 ACP plus pressure like the older ones do. Have an older Handloader article by Brian Pierce that blueprints the loads & what's safe. The higher end cast Keith type bullet loads were plenty powerful. 41

They were asking $1199 for this one in Townsend MT, think that's right at suggested retail

Got a look at the new MG in 22 yesterday, they are nicely put together. The grips felt a bit odd in the hand other than that a nice k frame with the expanded ammo onboard 41

So who here would give up (as in sell) their vintage S&W Model 18 to finance a new Mt Gun in 22 LR? Mine is a keeper, it shoots CCI subsonic HP into tiny groups and kills grouse & pesky Montana Turkeys with headshots aplomb. I'd look at a new manufactured Mountain Gun in 45 Colt for sure, but...

GFU, great picture! You look like a reloader, what loads that thing like??

Pretty sure they will

Interesting little revolver, personally I'd have to swap those grips out

Nice looking & like the porting as well. I had one of the older pre-lock Mt Guns in 41 Magnum. It was a nice piece.

If they come out with this one next I'm going to pick one up. Hopefully they'll have all their production issues ironed out. And will have the correct cylinder throat, forcing cone & bore diameters to shoot cast bullets well right out of the box Have a tote full of 45 Colt ammo and components...

I was looking at the website, looks like my kind of place. 41

Nobody?

cowboy, thanks for the comparison. I've looked at a new 4.25" kk a few times locally and have come to the conclusion it's too much like a J frame for me to really like. At almost 1k and needing bigger aftermarket grips it's not really a fit for me Appreciate the grip & trigger info on the older...

Anyone have both, thoughts on differences or similarities?
