I couldn't find any topic on this - I was on the S&W web site
yesterday and for 2009
S&W offers two new Nightguards* in chamberings for
cartridges not offered before in a Scandium frame:
S&W 310 NG
w/Full Moon Clips in 10mm AUto ( & .40 S&W )
S&W 357 NG
41 Magnum
* Nightguards - Overall matte black finish with Stainless
Steel cyl. & Scandium frame, Two Piece 2.5" Bbl. with
Pachmayr rubbber grip. THey have a front ramp with tritium
dot sight & Cylinder & Slide Extreme Duty fixed rear.
These are N-frame in the 29 oz. weight empty range.
Classic - Re-issue of past Carbon Steel, Blued models
Model 57 4" & 6" bbl. Len. with Bright Blue or Nickel finish
square butt, and bbl. has ejector shroud not full underlug.
Model 17 K-22 Target Masterpiece 6" Bbl. 40 oz.
Model 18 K-22 Combat Masterpiece 4" Bbl. 37.5 oz.
The 17 correctly got the bright blue finish & target hammer
and target trigger ( wide, serrated ) but I had an 18 as my first
handgun back in the 60s, and I recall a matte blue finish on it
This 18 gets the bright blue as well as a patrridge front - my old 18
had a plain ramp front sight like a model 15.
ALso the 17 and 18 go for $1,051 and $1,011,
respectively - which is sticker shock to me, and I own a 617
My 617 cost $629 two years ago when the msrp was
$ 717 or so , now for '09 a 617 msrp is $860 so the
bright (polished ) blue is $150+ more.... whistle
And a J-frame all new
Model 632 6 shot in .327 Fed Mag
this has a 3" Bbl. withS&W's power port.
24 oz. Staijnless Steel with Matte Black finish
