Revolvers S&W "Should" have made??

[steelslaver]

I would like to get a 6 shot N frame 44 mag length cylinder with .308 throats. Then ream it to use shortened, blown out 30-30 case at 36,000psi a slightly shortened 30 Herrett. Be interesting in .257 too.

Kind of a 25 or 30 jet

There was a custom Ruger BH set up like that for .30 Herrett Short (I forget what he actually called it.) He found a load that would not set back the bottleneck case and bind the cylinder, a hot number.

A custom S&W oddity was the "K 25"; using .22 Hornet brass blown out straight.

Maybe a K frame in 22 CCM, the old Cooper 22 magnum centerfire round.

Research the Bain & Davis conversions.

Circa 1964:
If the 41 Magnum had been introduced in a model based on a Highway Patrolman (mdl 28) format. Such a "working man's" big bore magnum may have given a jump start to the then nascent handgun hunting trend.
Indeed the .41 Magnum n-frame guns had sufficient mass in the cylinder to be virtually immune to most of the longevity problems that plagued the S&W 44 Magnum revolvers of the time.

I know of a Model 53 in .22 Hornet, because I shot it. It was in the early 1970's. I was carrying a Model 53 as a duty gun along with a Model 27 or a Model 29, depending which Sam Browne duty belt I put on. Smith & Wesson asked to to come in and try it. It was amazing, no shells stuck! For some reason, it never went further.

Ya but one cylinder-full without hearing protection would have left the shooter deaf. I shot my 10" TC 22 Hornet one time, ONE TIME without ear plugs.
And it was a throttled back load.

This, a 637, blown up to K Frame size, but a 6 shot, of course.
It would be a lightweight, +P rated 6 shooter. Man. They would sell a boatload of 'em.

2" SS J frame .22lr, basically a Model 60 in .22. I'd have one. Joe

I've always wanted a 357 Maximum in a 8 3/8" barreled Model 27; or even a Model 586. I would even love to try a Model 19 in a 357 Max although that might be a little much for that cut-down barrel.

I'm betting the N frame and the L frame would be a spectacular combo with a Max cartridge. Just open that cylinder window up a touch and we would have an incredible long range shooter.

I realize that Smith revolvers are probably relegated to Yesteryear, but a guy can dream can't he.

Prescut
Or a K frame 327fm.

I wish S&W made a 10mm L frame.

 

[lscocoa]

S&W should have made a scandium k22 in 3 1/2”or 4” barrel.

2" SS J frame .22lr, basically a Model 60 in .22. I'd have one. Joe

Only if they put the rear sight in a dovetail so you could drift it.

A lightweight 44 special 5 shot to compete with the charter bulldog.

 

[SuperMan]

Another vote for a .327 Fed Mag revolver in a K-frame, with a 6" bbl that has many practical uses, instead of .32 cal (H&R mag and Fed Mag) J-frames that were relegated to mainly SD use.

...agree...which is why I had one made...

[SuperMan]

Guns S&W should have made...or should be making...

Model 35 6" J-frame Target with an extra .22 Magnum cylinder

Model 69 in .41 Magnum

An L-frame .41 Special

Model 53/19 in .327 Federal

Model 60-10 .357 Magnum and .327 Magnum with a 5" barrel

Snubbies in .38 Super...a MUCH better round for the little guns than the .38 Special or 9mm and not as much blast as a .357 Magnum...

Model 58 in .44 Magnum and .45 Colt

Model 58 in stainless (658) in 3" and 4" with a round butt in .41, .44 and .45 Colt

...well we can wish can't we...Bob

My thoughts, as always, the Mountain Gun in
.22lr, 357Rem Mag, .41Rem Mag, .44Rem Mag,
and .45Colt.

The Mountain Gun series seems to always be
popular and I enjoy having them.

Thank you

 

[StrawHat]

A 3 1/2 or 4" 45 ACP revolver for police.

Just saw your request, the Model 22-4 is about what you asked for. I know if I were still wearing a badge, it would be what I would want.

One of them is my edc.

I always wondered why they didn't make a 5 shot K frame .44 special.

Not my forte, but didn't they make one, maybe on the L frame?
