Greetings. I have a 311R (short 18 or 19" bbl) and was told it is a old Police riot sxs shotgun. I am awaiting delivery from a GunBroker estate sale auction I won and wanted to know if anyone has a manual they could copy or sell.
Brad at DiscountGunDealer.com had 10 coming in a week or so ago and may still have some. Give him a shout.
About the stupic lock..., why did they make it so that when the lock spring fails the gun automatically (uh oh, run away fast, an automatic gun!!!) goes into the locked position? Why not...
I've never purchased a Smith & Wesson revolver with an IL and never will. My last two Smtih & Wesson purchases, a 37-2 and a 642-1, were both brand new in box revolvers - both are post-lock; one MIM, one post-MIM.
Contact Brad at DiscountGunDealer.com. He sold me the 642-1 and bobbed hammer post-lock, post-MIM M37-2. He's out of M37-2s, but has 18 or so 642-1s in stock.
From the dealer that sold me a NIB bobbed hammer M37 (eta: DiscountGunDealer.com has 1 M37-2 and 6 642-1s left)::
Pictures that he took while awaiting my personal check. I'm talking about a GREAT dealer. Simply beautiful. NIB Smith & Wesson Model 37-2, post-MIM, post-Internal lock:
Greetings. This looks like an older 20" bbl. Would a newer Remington 3 shot magazine extension match the bbl at the end (flush), or would there be a gap like in the setup now?
I've seen that recommendation before, standard non +P wadcutters, over at Tactical Forums (I belive you have to be a member to read this):

Here is the Dr. Roberts quote:
I don't know if I'll shoot only standard pressure or +P through my bobbed-hammer M37 when I get it. I'll check out the frame though, and if it has the elongated cylinder stop, it'll be the j-magnum frame (that magnum frame pic #2 is an Airlite of course).
Not trying to slam anyone, just getting the information out.
smith-wessonforum member DC7's reply to fastbolt's post above (same post posted on s&W forum):
"Fastbolt: Sounds like they gave you bad info. SCSW says the Model 37 went to the J-magnum frame in 1997, and was built on that stronger...
More good news from S&W--another batch of no-lock M37's shipping this month!, smith-wesonforum member DC7. These will be no-lock, no-MIM, and rated +P.
Couple of s&w forum threads about the last run of no-lock bobbed-hammer M37s:
Model 37-2 info request
How many here have a 37-2?
