I have been all through the shotgun news and gunlist looking for the custom shops 357 mag with no luck. Anyother places to look. CDNN has some Heritage revolvers but not the 357mag.

but I don't think that the heritage was produced in .357. There was the .38 M-15, .44 Special M-24, Mag. M-29, .45Colt M-25, and .22LR M-17. I hope I'm wrong, though, and you get that revolver. Those bottom-feeders you've been talkin' up just don't have much soul.:D

I believe it exists because I saw a write up on it in the American Rifleman I believe. I wonder if it just has not yet been introduced.
I like quality guns that go bang round and square.

...actually, I THINK VL is right...the ONLY blued .357 N-frame that I'm aware of S&W producing in the recent past is a SMALL run of the eight-shot guns--in four and six-inch--for Banger's...around 200 of each...or maybe it was TOTAL...can't remember...anyway, they are still available on the "Secondary" market, both "NIB" and used...don't think the "Heritage" series was ever made in .357...BTW, Pat, whassup with YOU looking for a REVOLVER???....mikey357

Hi Mikey ya I want one bad. On page 46 of the jan/feb issue of American Handgunner it has a write up on the Heritage series registered 357 mag. Its a darn preaty gun. I did buy a colt trooper the other day. It skips one of the cylinders when fired in da from time to time. I guess it needs to be timed. Only spend 250 on it though.

...Pat, it's good to see you "Expand your Horizons"...IIRC, the article you're referring to was by Chas. Petty...I BELIVE that the gun he profiled was an ORIGINAL, 1930's-era "Registered" Magnum...that's if I remember correctly...hhmmm...got that gunrag around here, SOMEWHERE....mikey357

Darn your right just read the article agian and it was an original gun. I can't afford it. I wanted one partly because its awful preaty. And second because my grandad had one. I have been on a nastalgic kick lately. Well maybe smith will make one.

...well, there are LOTS of us who would LOVE to have a "Registered", and don't ...what you need to do, IMHO, is find a NICE Model 27-2, OR EARLIER, and get to know IT...they're ALL nice guns, after all....mikey357
