"It's a 5" 7 shot 686 in the old fashioned standard barrel profile , a special run for stocking dealers (to judge interest I hear ) , not a PC gun.
Of course it appears to be illegal/off topic here to discuss new Smith and Wesson revolvers.
Ahh , photos of a new Smith always bring out the best in the lockwhiners, of course the Ruger is prettier, what with half the owners manual printed on the side of the barrel and the invisible mag ban under it's belt. And the smartgun technology was bandied about by Colt long ago without any armtwisting , Taurus has a lock , so I guess anyone buying a new revolver who is a true patriot has no choice but Dan Wesson. Leave the lockwhining in Legal and Political where it belongs, it gets tiresome in revolvers every time someone posts a pic of a new Smith. " I won't ever buy one" , so don't , but don't feel the need to tell me about it every time a lock is pictured in a non lock related thread, I won't buy Rugers but you don't see me tagging every Ruger thread with a boatload of crap about Bill ~no honest man needs more than 10 rounds ~Ruger. If I ever stop coming to this forum threads like this will be the reason." by Caseydog.
Well said sir. I do not read the political or lounge threads because there is always someone spewing personal ideology. The original poster was excited to post a pic of his new acquisition. Who knows, it could have been the only gun he wanted and saved for months to get it. It is a shame that others had to deflate this nice persons exhuberance especially when it pertains to the gun owners,which are persecuted enough in this country by non owners, and now has to be ridiculed by gun owners.
