New S&W models for 2014

[m81recce]

Hey Guys... long time lurker here. I didn't see a thread on this and thought it deserved some attention.

I'm definitely going to order the 686PC and maybe one of the new 9mm revolvers. I hope this leads to the 9mm J-frame coming back :up:

It's pretty cool they brought back the K-frame model 66 and a 5 shot 44mag model 69(L-frame).

There's also a M&P Bodyguard 380 without the integrated laser sight now.

Here is a link to the S&W site:http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category3_750001_750051_757677_-1_Y#http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smith-wesson.com%2Fwebapp%2Fwcs%2Fstores%2Fservlet%2FCategoryOnlyResultsDisplayView%3FpageSize%3D64%26pageView%3D%26catalogId%3D750051%26top_category%3D757677%26parent_category_rn%3D757677%26beginIndex%3D0%26categoryId%3D757677%26categoryId%3D757677%26langId%3D-1%26storeId%3D750001%26filterResults%3D%26useFilter%3D%26identifier%3D1388783161092 Edited January 4, 2014 by W-57

I knew about the 9mm guns, but not the K-frame 44.  3" hammerless, please.   :up:

I wish S&W woul;d bring back the classic look to their revolvers, the new ones look so bad I wouldn't even consider buying one.

Its not a K frame .44 its a L frame. Still very nicenice

That definitely is new.

I read quickly and thought it was a .44 Special.  I wouldn't think the K-frame would handle much .44Mag.

Model 66 looks nice.

Dear Smith & Wesson:
Quit worrying about that purple and moon orange non-sense and put a quad rail on an M&P 10.
Thank you.

It won't handle any - can't squeeze a .44 cylinder into the frame.

Till they ditch the internal lock, I'll stick with vintage Smith and Wesson revolvers.

I'm with you on the lock... This 686 will be my first lock gun. I will probably order the plug for it.

Sorry about the confusion, the 69 is on the L-frame and the 66 is the K-frame.

Not only that but the underlug treatment and flats on the barrel side looks like Ass with a capital A. And a rail on a revolver (loud puking noise).

I will  continue to by the vintage S&W's also, like the full underlug 5" barreled 625 Model of 1989 in .45 acp I picked up a while back.

There are a few Smith revolvers that you can order without the internal lock system.

My wife's new Bodyguard doesn't have the lock.

They did the 66 357 Mag again,they added a lock to it though which is a deal breaker for me

Interesting that the new pocket .380 without the laser weighs .15 ounce more than the one with laser.
Laser 11.85 ounces
Without laser 12 ounces.
They must have added some weight somewhere to help with recoil maybe?

Did they stop makin' the N frame and replace it with the L or somethin'? Haven't looked into but I know the older .357 and .44 were N frame like my model 28. As far as I'm concerned, that was the best lookin' (27/28) pistol they ever made. It sho' is a heavy mammajamma, though.

They still make N frames. They just aren't as popular as when cops were still carrying revolvers.

Wish S&W would worry less about offering new revolvers and make their current offerings more affordable and work on quality control.

I am a big fan of K frame S&W's.  Appears their prices will prevent me from ever buying another.
