52

I think the 52 .38 wadcutter target can come back. The 29 certainly did.

Im not going to be an ***. If you have had 52s and have one now, pull it out and shoot it and look at it. I dont know how the factory could make that gun today. They made the 952 in 9mm, less than a 1000 of them
made. Selling for $4000.00. 38 ammo is a little hard to find, but out there . I have a 52-2 that I keep on the desk, and still marvel how those guys put these together. Nice ones are still out there at a fair price. Make it again? I dont see how.

Production was stopped due to the cost to fix/replace the broken machinery used to make the 52. So unless you want a polymer version I don't think S&W will be repairing that machinery

you are correct. Also sales had fallen and cost exceeded expense of manufacturing. Plus the old guys that fitted them were retiring.
And they never broke.
