Then you could have the cylinder machined for Moon's and shoot .45ACP, .45Super, and even .45GAP... in addition to .45Auto-Rim without using Moon's along with all the other aforementioned cartridges in our previous posts to make the modern day "Medusa" of .45Caliber Revolvers.
The .38/.357/9mm caliber "Medusa" was always an anomaly to me ever since I heard of it in the mid 90's when I was a kid and the way it could hold & shoot semi-rimmed cartridges without the use of Moon's and still shoot the rimmed cartridges was an absolute ingenious design! I'm actually surprised it's design isn't springboard-ed off of/borrowed from and introduced again in a modern Revolver...

Cool! Very similar to the S&W 547.

I've always had a want for a S&W revolver in 44 special. But never has the money. One gun show almost at the door and talking to the dealer he told me that is a stainless steel version of the 24-3 cost me $700 but as I found out worth every penny. Then a few shows I found the 24-3 with the 3" barrel. Then came the 24-3 with the 4" barrel. And you know what? If I chanced on a 4" bbld 624 I'd scarf that one up so fast it would make your head spin. But you better hurry for a couple reasons. First they were made in limited numbers roughly 2400 4" revolvers. I forget the break down on all pistols. Prices keep rising I could sell the 24-3 for close to a grand easy. And since they are in our favorite caliber 44 special a lotta guys are out there looking for them.And they ain't making them anymore.
I rest my case. Frank

Love that 2/3 Model.
I agree with what you say about the three inch N frame. For me, the balance is not there. In my hand, the 4” tapered barrel is the right choice.

You had to go and show me another must have Smith in 3" barrel form didn't you, Delcrossy??? Now I'm looking for one waiting for the rain to stop on vacation!
Found one!

I love that top strap stippling! Should be standard on any serious use Revolver! None of mine have it but maybe my M629-3 "MBP" will receive 25lpi treatment along the top strap all the way until the barrel screws in, in the future.

It had been re-blued and cut off a time or two before I got hold of it.
I decided to make it the best it could be.

That is Exactly what I'm finding Delcrossy!
I will only buy/use/carry Round Butts for CCW... I can always go with the Round to Square conversion grips if I wished but never the other way around without paying for a mill-butt/frame job and a refinish... so I just go with the rounds. I like what they did with the semi-short hammer jobs on these. Do you by chance have one? These are very cool guns and with the Magna stocks, and a Tyler-T grip could just very well be the perfect 9mm, +P, and even a HEavy-Hard-Cast, "Woods-Loaded" 9mm Revolver! I love the fact it mimics the Model 13 profile as well!

I'm with y'all on that as well.
For a 3" 44 I much prefer the L frames.
The full lug out front helps them balance and shoot much better for me than the 3" N frame especially the tapered barrel ones.
They are more comfortable to carry as well if you don't mind giving up a round in the cylinder.
If, God Forbid, we were limited to one handgun, I would probably choose my 696-1.
It carries and shoots like a dream instinctively and I know how to smith it if needed for the most part.
Also would not tell the authorities about the backups buried in the back yard (pictured below).

The .44 specials are shooter friendly but still pack a wallop. The short barreled guns with the combat grips not only fit my hand like a glove but are very controllable and accurate. I love these two! Bob
Love em'! The "Combats" really fit my hands like they were made for them as well. Add a pair of Svelte "Cop-Gloves" when shooting and it's an almost perfect marriage! Nice stainless and blued pair for sure!

I like the .44 Special, which is all the reason I need.
I got "em" both......And like "em" both.
