Going for the 'New York Reload'

bdGreen · Jun 2, 2020

Don't hafta remember which pocket has which gun.

They are the same.

S&W Model 632-2 Pro Series chambered for the .327 Federal Magnum.

Just recently acquired these two.
They are, to me, the epitome of a pocket rocket.
Two inch barrel, (technically 2 1/8"), fixed sights, round butt, and chambered for a myriad of 32 calibre offerings up to and including the toasty .327 Federal Magnum - X6.

And, all stainless.

Load 'em down, load 'em up. Good to go.

enjoy,

Let me be the first to say that I am incredibly envious!

Nice revolvers, the Centennials are (IMHO) the handiest revolvers made. You need the Bell Charter Oak “New York Reload” holster to go with them.

Very, very nice. The .327 is a great cartridge. Gotta love a NY reload.

Very nice! And I would also say, very effective if needed. Which grip configuration do you prefer? And did they come that way? I can see benefits to both, like the open back would snag less, but the fully enclosed frame would be more comfy to shoot.

Are you running the factory springs, or have you lightened them?

I can see me carrying them and feeling safe in doing so. But I don't need another cartridge to reload,......... hmmmm

I didn't realize the J frame 327's were six-shooters.

Wow!

Wow! I’d feel fortunate to have one of those .327 beauties, but two, very nice! Big .327 Federal Magnum Fan.

Now there is another caliber I need to buy a gun for! Thanks - Very nice.

Nice guns. I too, have two Centennials. One is a S&W 342 AirLite in .38 Special. The other is a S&W 351C in .22 Magnum. Both easy to carry.

Very nice!

Now that's what I'm talking about. Great pics too. Well done..

I'm not usually a fan of the Pro Series Centennials but those are a coupla handsome revolvers in a very underrated chambering!

Double-O-Dave · Jun 3, 2020

To the OP: durn your hide! I didn’t know such a revolver existed, and then to find this model is out of production - oh, that’s just not right. I’m a big fan of the NY Reload but I carry a Model 638-1 and a Model 38-0.

On the plus side, now I’ve got something to add to my grail gun list.

Regards,

Dave

Both of these guns shipped in the same month of the same year, September, 2011.

They each sport a different style of grip.

I actually had thought of getting a matched set, but, the config of each one offers a different interface between the gun and my hand and I kinda like them both for that reason.

They each have a mildly different 'touch' on the trigger pull.

Don't have any idea if anyone has been in there before me.

They are both really good, just a tad different.

I have not opened either of them up.

I have owned them both for 'days', not weeks or even months.

And, I do concur with your assessment of the value of each set of grips.

The NY Reload is not a bad concept

Now you need some leather

Lou_the_welder · Jun 3, 2020

Well, in keeping in line in this thread, if I did a New York reload, it'd be with these two.
Just need a holster now for both.

ContinentalOp · Jun 3, 2020

A pair of J-frames is certainly nice to have...

JackM · Jun 3, 2020

A spare gun is still a pretty good place to keep spare ammunition.
