Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Current S&W N-Frames: Yes or No

How does one such as yourself who "doesn't suffer fools" go about looking in the mirror in the morning?

You're either a lying sack of [bleep] or the stupidest qunt on the planet. You own nothing in the realm of what the OP asked about or you're literally stupid enough to walk out of a gun shop with a new piece that's rusty and doesn't work, which is it?

If the barrel is over torqued by 1 degree you might miss it when you buy it however when you you shoot it run the rear sights all the way to the right to get it centered then you know something is wrong. I might add that only a low IQ individual posts an ad hominum attack on someone. It’s surprising to me the ansolute level of imbecility that some supposed “men” post on an Internet forum. I might add that someone who posts he has no problems what so ever is either shooting from 5ft away or just making it up

Not attacking any one person Jimmy, I just hear all the time and people provide pics of messed up stuff. Can’t imagine walking out with it. In fairness it left the factory as well and while S&W might find it “in spec” perhaps based on complaints, the spec should be improved upon. Again not attacking a single person, just shake my head at some of the irony.

In truth it might indeed be in spec, have a nice evening

What you in all of your retardation find problematic simply aren't problems at all for those of us who didn't lick while bouncing our football helmet festooned heads off the windows in the short bus on the ride to school in the morning.
That you and your ilk would walk out the door of a gunshop with a new piece having a crooked barrel that didn't work while covered in rust comes as no surprise. You're either as stupid as Crisco is or you're a [bleep] liar that couldn't afford a cap pistol at Wal Mart much less a new N frame.

erickg,

The whole world loves an idiot.

I love the pinned and recessed guns of the past but they’re simply beyond my means. I have two S&W revolvers with the Hillary hole. They work well and the triggers are acceptable. I’ve never even handled the newest guns with the two piece barrels because I know I’d have difficulty accepting that change.

And yet here you are, flapping your gums about something you admittedly have ZERO first hand knowledge of, attempting to dissuade the OP from making a purchase of a revolver that he will clearly have the ability to inspect prior to purchasing. Typical do nothing internet clown, waxing nostalgic about a couple of safe queens he has and trying to convince the world based on what he's "heard" that QC at S&W has fallen below that of Hi Point and it's simply a miracle if anything ever leaves the factory in working condition.
The idiot is in your mirror.

I don't own any newer N frames, do own a post lock J frame. I deactivated the lock on the J.

People I know and trust have some newer N frames, made before the two piece barrels became common. To a man they say they are some of the straightest and best shooting Smith & wessons they've ever owned. I trust their word on it.

I have one newer S&W. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s a 629 4” barrel. I am a big fan of S&W’s.

Hey Jimmy, made it outside today, not surprisingly I encountered no problems with such. Packing a perfectly functional "current" N frame S&W 627, stoked with 140 grain XTP's pushed to 1350 fps by 18.0 grains H110. Pictured victims are neither made up nor were they 5 feet from the muzzle. I realize this is all over your head. Any of your safe queens gonna see the light of day today? I'd wager no, your limitations and long list of excuses preclude anything other than loafing about in your underwear reminiscing fondly of the time you shot 5 whole rounds through a new Airweight .38 before locking it up in the safe forever. Enjoy the couch today you old Putz.

Jimmy!!! Hey sorry if I caught you at nap time, I'm still here, you know outdoors, just wanted to let you know neither I, nor my "current" N frame have any problems with the kind that live in trees either. Tall trees Jimmy, much taller than 5 feet. When was the last time one of your 'Smith's drew blood Jimmy? Kinda funny to think that if I shoot one more squirrel today, that that will be one more round fired in an afternoon than the entire lifespan of your .38 Airweight. JFC you're a do nothing idiot.

Erickg: Great photos there - thanks for sharing them - they are very clear and very graphic.
Brings to mind the old saying "use enough gun".
Keep up the good work.

I make my living outdoors, I'm afforded the luxury of being able to pack and shoot daily. I encounter a wide variety of game and being under gunned is not something I'm into.

What a bunch of silly pics of small animals ....I have shot bears and haven't taken pics .


erickg you are so pretty when you are rattled............I love ya.

I have a newer Model 25 and a older 28, zero problems.

The only S&W I had problems with was a used Model 29, no dash, 4" barrel. Evidently the previous owner liked hot loads as the chambers were all slightly bulged.

Sure, I wish they were all in the "registered" class, but for shooting and hunting they all are good to go, at least for me.

My 2023 627 has had no issues.

I have read Elmer Keith and Bill Jordan since I was in eighth grade.

Those "great old" revolvers they shot and wrote about were often customized.

Trigger jobs, sight modifications, new grips, barrels chopped, etc.

I find that when I do similar things to my revolvers, I get similar results.
