I received your PM, but don't seem to be able to respond in the normal manner. Thanks for the consideration.

I'm in search of a recessed Model 57 cylinder, preferably with a nickel finish. Thanks.

Thanks to all for the input. I guess I'll search for a used part for a while, and lacking success, let Smith and Wesson put a current cylinder on.

I recently acquired a Model 57. While shooting with it last week, I noted that one of the fired cases could only be ejected with some difficulty. The same difficulty exhibited on the next two reloads. Taking measurements of the fired cases indicates that charge hole was bored out of round and...

We are a nation of over 300,000,000 people. Nationwide, there are around 500,000 in law enforcement. If we never ate another donut, took vacation, attended training classes or were actually on another call, the math don't work well.

I'm siding with the Model 27 crowd, but I'm not parting with my 624 or 629.

Thanks to all for your input on this thread. I did not know any of this until reading the forum last night. As a result, I called S&W just now to check on my recently purchased 624. It's okay, so I'm pretty happy now. Thanks again.
