... frames of the S&W revolvers chambered in .45 Colt aren't heat treated like the magnums are and that makes them more likely to suffer long-term wear damage from a steady diet of heavy loads. Does anyone know for certain if that situation has changed?
Pap, I've been told by guys who are in the business that the stainless steel N-frame guns are all built the same, whether .44 or .45 or .41. What the exact serial number demarcates the boundary is anybody's guess, though... even the guys at the S&W Performance Center argue about that. Or so I'm told.
