I sure like the way the S&W model 657 .41 magnum looks with the 7.5" barrel and non-fluted cylinder.
The non-fluted cylinder is very attractive to me and I want one but not in .41. Don't get me wrong, the .41 mag. is a fine cartridge I just don't want to have to start accumulating another cartridge.
Aside from how it looks and added weight is there a reason for non-fluted cylinders?
Three months ago at a local gun shop I seen a used S&W .357 with 4" full lug barrel with a non-fluted cyl. I don't remember the model # but I liked it alot and should have bought it but the price was too high.
The only new or recent production revolvers that I have seen with non-fluted cylinders are the model 657 Smiths.
I keep an eye out for them on GB but again I see only the 657.
Does anyone know of other make/models that have non-fluted cylinders...chambered in .38Spl/.357 mag?
Any input on the non fluted cyliders wiuld be appreciated.
Thanks
