One of the advantages of the two-piece barrel design used on these was supposed to be an end to improperly clocked barrels. The tab on the frame is supposed to fit into the slot on the barrel shroud for perfect alignment. I wonder how they already figured out how to mess that up.

After reading this thread, I pulled out my S&W revolvers to see if any of them had the "unsightly gap" between the top of yoke and frame. Only one did - my oldest, an early 1980's 25-2. No problem sliding a business card into the gap. I still love it regardless.

Just ordered one from Scheels. Still showing in-stock after my order.

Jo Ann passed away on March 27 (as noted on Missouri Bullet's Facebook page). Fortunately, she and Brad had made plans for the company to continue.
