Thanks Batmo for the great advice. Thanks everyone for the great advice.

Mine is one of the PC shop guns. It's been flawless. The easily switched frt sight option REALLY appealed to me as I like a few different sights, depending on what I'm doing. And I added a set of Herretts stocks, their Jordan Trooper models.

I'm not an Engineer or Metallurgist but from what I understand between the stainless used for these guns, as well as the newest N frame features, these guys may be THE strongest .357 mag that S&W has ever built.

A shot of mine after four of us shot several hundred rds of HOT .357 and +P .38's out of it one afternoon. It never complained either.

I like mine real well. I like the interchangeable front sight. I now have a fiber optic front and a V notch rear on it that is really fast for plates and such. You can still shoot with precision , but you have to find where you want the FO bead in the V notch. I put Alrends retro finger groove stocks on mine and replaced the lock with "the plug". Probably one gun that I will never part with.

Is this a square or round butt?

 

[ptgarcia]

Round butt.

 

[Stevedog29-3]

Thanks. Great grip options. Just looking now so I know.

I use 5star speed loaders, and don't bother with the moon clips. Ed.

so im selling a gun and saved alittle and now this gun seems to be in my price range. im gona be searching online. any hints? ive found them on gunbroker between $800 and $950. what is a reasonable deal on this gun

 

[epj]

Paid $800 for mine about 5 years ago. With tax, the plug, and Ahrends, I quickly had over $900 in it. You may find a bit of a better deal on a used one. I'd try to pay a max of $850 if I were buying one today.

I paid full retail for mine new last year here in SoCal. It was the only one I had ever seen (still the only one I have ever seen) so I didn't hesitate to buy it.

That sounds about right...paid $830 for mine plus another $245 to my gunsmith.

I keep hearing about "The Plug"....where are you guys finding these and does it take a gunsmith to install ??

 

[epj]

The plug is available in the forum classifieds. If you are at all familiar with the S&W lockwork, you can install yourself.
