In another thread, I learned about the new lock detent on the S&W Model 69 Combat Magnum. What I do not understand is the two piece barrel.
Is it a barrel and shroud system similar to the Dan Wesson revolver, tensioned at both ends? Or is it similar to the Charter Arms style, a barrel screwed into the frame and a shroud setscrewed to the barrel?
Photos would help if available.
I have a few S&W revovlers but the newest ones were the 686 and 686-1, that I used in competition and have since sold. Everything else is a -2 or earlier.
Thank you.
