I wish they would come out with a 637, even better a 337 ... in 9mm cut for moon clips.

With 9mm ammo being more plentiful and cheaper than 38 Special, I think a 9mm J frame would be a good seller.

I want to know how they did that! (reply)

The L-frame 696 seems scary to me- the cylinder walls are so thin. I would not think about putting a full .44 mag into one. I wonder if S&W enlarged the frame window and the cylinder diameter.

This might be a great platform for .41 mag.

Think S&W sees sales going to Taurus? (reply)

Looks very Tracker-ish.

Think they were Performance Center one-offs though. Let's have a 610 Mountain Gun!

I saw a teaser video from Mr. Miculek on the 9mm revolver. It seems like a neat idea for the competition world.

I remember hearing of a guy competing at PASA Park with a 9mm Blackhawk. Kind of jus doing it to show he could be competitive with a single action. This was before CAS really took off. From what I understood, he had the cylinder shaved back a good ways, and the barrel projected rearward into the cylinder window, giving him less rotating mass. He also had an AimPoint on top of it. Not sure if it was still a six shot or if he had increased capacity. From what I remember he did fairly well in he competition with it!
