Is that what they're calling it these days?

 

[Suprtek]

I was scooped!

Morning Supr, 451.

What's the hubbub, 451?

 

[451_Detonics]

S&W called the morning and said they cannot replace Dad's 625-10 which cracked a frame because the frame is no longer in production.

That sucks. Did they offer any alternatives?

 

[451_Detonics]

They will offer me $1100 in credit against any gun in the catalog but that was one of Dad's favorite carry guns. I am not sure what to try and replace it with.

Dang, sorry to hear that 451...

A lot of selections at that price.

Well...I don't mind adding "boot" money either for a custom shop gun. Kinda leaning towards the 327 TRR8 Product: Model 327 TRR8

Wow! That's quite a gun. Is that an L frame?

That's a mean looking gun! But did you notice that the close up of the cylinder showed wear marks on it already? That is supposed to be a new gun, right?

 

[451_Detonics]

Wow! That's quite a gun. Is that an L frame?

yep...L-Frame round butt, 8 shot drilled and tapped for both a scope rail and under lug rail

Ok, back from walking the dog. Morning BA, Supr, Ty, 451, Sam!

it will be a new gun, they may have used one they have shot for the catalog pics...wouldn't bother me in any case because I will shoot the heck out of it

 

[451_Detonics]

[SEIndSAM]

That is a nice handgun 451....

It just made me wonder about the durability of the rest of the coating too. I'm sure its a great gun. I just know I have revolvers that are pretty old with lots of rounds through them that don't look like that.

 

[SkullDaddy.45]

North Korea has threaten me if I watch another episode of the Kardashians. I will have to cave to that threat!!!!!

My 325PD which is also a Scandium frame with stainless cylinder in the same finish showed that ring quickly but the rest of the finish is wearing very well and it gets carried a lot. I wouldn't mind sending it to Robar to have a NP-3 finish done to it
