Always wanted 9 mm. Rev. PC -I haven't seen the price yet but i'm sure it's over $1000. That's going to be a hot seller if it's under 1k

NICE!!!! Wonder how much? Retail probably around $1,300?

I just was on line -can't find that gun on SW site. Just that video. Yes - i'm thinking List as high--$1500.00 --At $1000 would be good.

Rough crowd!

Titanium cylinder, lower weight, low recoil, tuned trigger, least expensive and easy to find ammo.... I think it would be fun to shoot. For someone who just wants a cool target revolver, this might be the trick.

Can you put a red dot on it?

Is this the answer to a question nobody asked?

 

[Pizza Bob]

No, this is THE answer to the new USPSA rules allowing 8-shot revolvers - but they have to be scored minor. People will be clamoring to get one of these. This is very similar to the 627-4 PC that was built in limited quantities, and chambered in .38 Super. Only difference, beyond caliber, that I can see is the fluted titanium cylinder vs. the black, unfluted stainless cylinder of the 627-4. I'm assuming that, like the 627-4, this will come with a muzzle cap to replace the comp - since a comp would throw this in the Open division, where it wouldn't be competitive.

I have to greet this with some skepticism though. The video certainly looks legit, but I cannot find any reference to this model on either the web generally, nor S&W's site specifically. Being that April 1st is still a way off - I'll give this the benefit of the doubt. Smith will sell a ton of these, pretty much regardless of price.

JMHO

Adios,

Pizza Bob

"9"29??? Since when did they start that? Or is this the first?

 

[S&W357]

I'm sure next year -5 in. then 2 in. so on-so on. I'm in with the 4 or 5 in. For $999.00.

I think it looks pretty cool, the shorter 9mm cartridge would mean faster reloads. It looks like a bolt-on comp like the 629 v-comp so it probably has a plain comp as well. Not sure why the barrel is so long though, would be better with a 3" or 4" barrel.

I dont know about the rest of you, but I noticed a new 460 in the background... Looks like their previous 3.5" Lew Horton model with no compensator and an unfluted cylinder

Nice detective work! Putting away some extra $$ just in case that's coming!

You may be right, with fiber opt.... When was the last time SW came out with a winner Rev. ? The R-8 was a hit....

Yes the comp is removeable

open the cylinder from 9x19 to 9x23 and you end up with a very versatile revolver capable of shooting half a dozen different 9MM based cartridges.

As Pizza Bob noticed, this is similar to the previous 38 Super offering. So moon clips are already available for it.

The short cartridges make for very positive ejection and fast reloads.

I'd rather they brought back the 10mm/.40 revolver, maybe that's just me...

Coltsaa,

Who made the spare cylinder for you? Looks like an incredibly versatile gun!

I'm thinking of getting a pro series done like that, but can't find a spare 627 cylinder.

Thanks,

Some of you guys should get out more often and attend an ICORE or USPSA match...you'll find lots of folks very happy to see an 8 shot 9mm revolver.

Open your minds, gentlemen!

The unfluted cylinder is what came with the 627Pinto. The black cylinder is a stock S&W 357 Magnum cylinder that was re-chambered to 9x23 by Pinnacle.

I have four or five spare cylinders on hand for future projects, including two of the nickel ones. I always look for spare cylinders even when I do not have a project in mind.

I see the logic of keeping a spare cylinder. I haven't been able to find one, but am keeping an eye out. I called S&W and they said it would be next year before any were available.

why why why why not 10mm .
