With a loaner X-Frame 460 S&W Mag with me for another week or so I thought I would post a group pic and individual pics of the J, K, L, N, and X frames. (I don’t have any of the older discontinued frames for a true multi-generational S&W family photo.)
Group shot: Five different frame sizes represented by the 460XVR in .460 S&W Magnum, 629 Mountain Gun .44 Magnum, 686+ .357 Magnum, 64 .38 Special and a 49 Bodyguard in .38 Special.
Now they’re set next to a ruler to give us the same point to begin measuring the frame sizes. I tried to line up the front of each frame in line with the 8 on the ruler so the differences can be easily seen:
X Frame Model 460 XVR:
N Frame Model 629:
L Frame Model 686+
K Frame Model 64:
J Frame Model 49:
Without actually holding them side by side you can’t really tell the true differences, but I hope this makes visual comparisons a bit easier for those who wondered what the current S&W frame size options are.
Stay safe.
