What if S&W had a make-your-own-revolver program?

[anttes-c]

I bought S&W model 29-3 ( built 1988). Some my friends have said me, that the barrel without pin is not so good as pinned barrel. Barrel turns open , loosen etc... Is it true and is it possible to add the pin later?

 

[Peter J.]

N frame round butt .357, 3 & 1/2" barrel, fixed sights, "T" trig and "T" hammer. Pinned and rec. Cyl. No lockey. The same gun in .45 LC would do just fine, too.

 

[iyn]

L frame 5- shot .45 acp 3" barrel, stainless.
Model 617 without the lower lug, similar to the model 67 barrel profile.

 

[BigRich315]

A 3 shot, 1 7/8", .44Mag J-frame (or equivalent, just big enough to fit the round). I shall name it either ManMaker or WidowMaker! (depending on the first shooter's fate)

 

[BigRich315]

On the serious side, if I must...:

An 8-shot .32-20 N frame with 6" barrel. Make a scandium version and we'll call it a 328.

 

[DRYHEAT]

High polish SS K-22 5-screw 6" bbl, diamond magnas, and a high polish SS M&P 5-screw 2" bbl. SB in .22 lr, 6-shot.

Theoretically, it's possible for the barrel to loosen. As a matter of probability, no. While I prefer pinned and recessed 29s, I do have a 29-3 blued 6" that has never given trouble. I consider it a shooter rather than a collectible. There would be no real advantage in trying to add a pin; leave it alone.

How about they just make one that they promised to. The 43c!

5" heavy barrel N frame in .45 colt. Basically, a mountain gun with a heavy barrel.

 

[Nemo288]

I think I would have to go with a 696 with a larger/thicker forcing cone, a tritium front dot, and the solid rear sight like the Night Guard models. For me, quite possibly the perfect carry revolver.

I would like to see options to this such as 3" or 4" barrel,
various sights, round or square butt, ports or none, various
grips.

They would sell a bunch of these I suspect.

While I am in here, a couple more:

5" 624 with accuracy and action job, custom wood.
5" 629 (no dash) plus the above.

N Frame RB 4" 45 ACP AS and with a black Birdsong finish and magna grips with a Tyler T.

 

[stantheman86]

I'll take a 6" Model 10 Heavy Barrel, round butt, with target hammer and trigger.

I've always had a soft spot for the 6" M&P's-M10's, and I love the 4" HB's, and I always thought a 6" HB would be a winner.

While they're at it, I'll take a 64 the same way

 

[jhvaughan2]

How about a K Frame, 3-T's, 8-3/8" non-full lug barrel, in bright mirror polished blue with 3 interchangable cylinders (.32 Long, .32 Magnum, & .327 Magnum.

While they're at it, make me another one with a 6" barrel too.

Put me down for one of these in 6"

I'd also take one of the K-frame centennial 6 shot .357s

 

[TAROMAN]

1) 3" 5-shot L-Frame fixed sight SS .44 Spl NO LOCK
2) 4" 7-shot K-Frame Combat Masterpiece .327 NO LOCK

I would ask for a 10MM L frame with 3" barrel with moon clips and in round butt configuration. Stainless steel, bead blasted with a medium heavy short lug barrel with a good set of rubber grips.

The 10 MM when properly loaded with 200 grain and heavier bullets is not that much less than a .41 Mg., so I would think that properly loaded, it would be adequate against anything up to and including black bear. And with less robust loads it is death delivered to bad guys.

I would guess that an L frame in a 3" 10MM would be south of 36oz in weight, so it should carry well.

 

[MakeMyNight]

A 12 round, factory "action-tuned", bright blue N-frame .22LR, with a 12" heavy barrel, no sights, factory drilled/tapped/equipped with Leupold scope mount, with reproduction coke-style target grips.

How's that for wet 'n wild?

What if S&W had a make-your-own-revolver program?

I would be cast hopelessly into backruptcy. My child would not got to college. My wife would divorce me.

I would be living under a bridge with a full gunsafe and a smile that would light up the world.

Stay out of my mind!

I had the same idea except mine was a 4 inch with adjustable sights.... but I'd order your 3 inch with fixed sights.
