As Weatherby says above, you need a higher front sight. I would try a lower rear sight leaf first. Did you call S&W for help?

Too numerous to mention. And I dont like crying.

Some of the 44 Special models have a shorter cylinder. Not sure when it was changed.

For many years, the WW free info showed 4.3 gr with the 158 gr lead bullet as a standard 38 Special load. That load shot to point of aim with the fixed sight revolvers. Low recoil and very accurate.

I have heard them called "The Alien Grips" because they dont fit any human hands.

Need a class action suit naming every state that does this.

CCI used to make a 200 gr JHP 44 magnum Blazer load. I chronoed it at 1200 fps in a 5.5 inch revolver. Very comfortable load. Sometimes you can find it. Steinel makes a 200 gr Gold Dot 44 Special at about 1100 fps.

A.E. Nelson Leather makes some nice old style shoulder holsters. One is very much like the Lawrence No. 7.

Had one many years ago. Very accurate. There is some variation in the action smoothness. Check for that.

Be careful if you handle them. You might get a visit from Sam and Ella.

Looks like a cut down 4 inch barrel. The markings are not centered. Not bad for a shooter if it works OK. The front of the barrel may have been damaged so they cut off 1/2 inch and reinstalled the sight.

I wish they would make the mini revolvers in 32 ACP. It would give them better bite.

He does offer certain bullets in oversize.

The main problems would be misfires, hang fires, bullets stuck in the barrel and case splits. Be careful.

I would try WW231 with the 158 gr GC. Use the start load and work up. Your 38 Special load has been my target load for many years with 158 cast. Loading without a gas check is OK for light loads.
