I own two - selling my spare I bought an extra off my friend, barely used as his personal carry off duty. No scratches or noticeable wear anywhere. I added rubber grips off my 342 and still have like new stock wood grips. He had a trigger job done. Hammer trimmed down to first knurl line for...

I have a stainless 624 44 Special Round Butt with 3" barrel - red dot was on box(gone) bought new June of 1985 serial AHTxxxx - Less than 50 rounds fired. I have smaller hands and put new Pachmayr compact open strap grips on. Gave stock wooden set to a friend. No scratches; clean almost cherry...

Thanks for all input - I now have the best of both; a new Perf.Centr. 629 44 Mag & 624 3" an old favorite that is confirmed safe.

Hi, My 624 does not chamber a 44 Mag in the cylinder, only 44Special. Can 44Mag's be chambered in your 624? Thanks for your thread; the reason I will not send mine back to them. Thanks

New plan; Will not send my 3" 624 back to S&W - Remember now: when buying box had no red dot sticker. Upon return, after rear sight repair a red dot was on box. Cylinder will not chamber the 44Mag only 44Special. After reading threads; that seems to be the issue. I will be buying a new 629 44...

Do you mean the actual recall was for cylinders bored to chamber 44Mags; that were installed in 624 44Special revolvers by a S&W mistake.

Jim, I also remember now when buying my 624 new the rear sight was actually bent off to one side. Did not take possession at that time; gun shop sent it right back to S&W. Think it was about 3-4 weeks later, when available for pick up and rear sight was perfect(not just pulled back in place) My...

Jim, I called the S&W phone number you provided. Spoke with a rep. concerning the cylinder recall and she requested the Serial No. I gave her purchased new date with serial no., had me hold while she checked if was within suspected revolvers sold. Next told a prepaid label would be sent, and to...

Hello Jim, Actually now I am wondering about the recall - being only purchase date and Serial number confirmed Recall List. It will not chamber a 44Mag though. Guess is best to be safe and not sorry. I will ship it back when the label is received, will track and call for status. If the cylinder...

Jim, I just called and got lucky making contact by phone. Now a prepaid shipping label is being sent with instructions. Also was able to obtain information about my S&W Model 342. Thank You, Victor N.

It will not chamber a mag - actual though back then of contacting them about boring completely through for the 44 mag ability.

Thanks, I found my receipt: Purchased new 6/14/85 S&W 44 Model 624 3" RB - Serial No. AHTXXXX Guess I'm alright, and appreciate the information. Regards, Victor

S&W 624 44 Special RB Okay thanks, It was likely back in the 1980's when I bought it new. Now trying to remember if there was a red sticker on the box - concerning cylinder replacement. How do I go about confirming whether that issue is no concern. I probably fired about a box of rounds at...

Still remember being told my 624 was N frame with K frame round butt. So long ago when I replaced the stock wood for Pachmayr rubber grips. They sure do not look like N frame. Shall update, when confirmed. Thanks

I think you're right(what I heard back then) and replaced stock wood with Pachmayr rubber grips. Guess I'll just take them off and go to some gun shops. Thanks
