And I am officially tapping out for the month on revolvers. This one makes three and I wasn't planning on getting another one, but I've always wanted one of these and couldn't resist the price.
I don't know a whole lot about the Heritage series, other than they were a limited performance center edition of S&W's more traditional revolvers, some blued, some nickeled, some with frames color case hardened by Turnbull. Produced sometime around 2001, and I believe all models had less than 300 produced, or at least I can't find info on higher serial #'s than that. No actual production numbers that I've found.
For such a unique take on such popular revolvers, they don't get much collectors attention.
They are all built on S&W's modern frames, albeit without the lock. All round butts. Unfortunately, I believe they are MIM guns, same as any other S&W of the time.
I love Turnbull's CCH'ing, as over the top as it is sometimes,
and a S&W revolver with a factory color cased hardened frame, as non-traditional as it is, just looks good to me. As someone who's seen myraids of blued S&W's...they all kind of blend together after a bit. This one is unique. Its a shame the glare washes out the case hardening, so it will be a bit of a surprise when it gets here.
Between the Hong Kong M10, the Colt Officers Model, and this one, its been a good month for revolvers. If I've got to tighten my gun wallet for a bit, at least I'll have some nice things to look at.
