657PC coming back?

[Cal44]

I noticed the following text on the S&W site in the Performance Center section:

"Performance Center Revolvers
Performance Center guns originate from standard designs or are created from the ground up. From hand cutting and fitting to fine tuning for precision, these firearms are top performers. Products from the Performance Center are the ultimate expression of old-world craftsmanship blended with modern technology.

Three large-frame revolvers are newly available with 2 5/8” barrels chambered in .357 Magnum®, .41 Magnum® and 44 Magnum®. The new Model 625 is a 6-shot with a 4” barrel in .45 ACP and exhibits a patriotic red, white and blue laminated grip."

They seem to be implying the 657 PC with 2 5/8" is coming back, although I don't see it in the PC listings.

Perhaps not ready to ship yet?

Has anyone heard?

That "new" Model 625 with patriotic red, white, and blue laminated grip mentioned above is now several years old. What you have there is an old news release that has never been removed nor updated. False alarm on any re-release of the PC657.
