Model 24-6 "Classic" Questions

[75Vette]

Engine, I don't think it's mismarked, it's done intentionally by S&W to distinguish between the spl and the magnum. Everything else is the same. Another way to save a buck. The older 624's and 24-3's all had shorter cylinders that would only take the spl round.

I would say you got a dang nice revolver at a good price! I bought the 6 1/2 inch in nickel when they first came out, love the tapered barrel and dislike the new target grip, swapped out grips and all is well. The nickel on mine was a bit cloudy here and there but cleaned up nicely with a bit of Flitz. Mine is a great shooter with 250gr Keith's. Now about the whole .44 Mag chambering in this critter, I never thought about doing it but now I will have to check, wont shoot em out of it though.

Kilo, clean 'er out. The cylinder closes on mine easily.
Are you an electrician by trade?

Ooops!

I just realized I'd failed to answer your question. I am an Electrical Engineer + ham radio operator, making me a "sparky" twice over, I guess.

On topic - The M24 is proving to be a really nice shooter! I haven't tried .44 Mags in it again, and probably won't. No real point in it, 'cause even if they fit, I wouldn't shoot them.

What about the 24-9?

Just agreed to purchase one. Is it in the Classic Series? Bluing and wood look beautiful.

Sorry for inserting in this thread. Couldn't find a way to start a new thread.
