Anyone got one of the new underlugless L-frame .357 seven-shooters? The fixed-sighted 619 and adjustable 620 appear to be S&W's new entries in the "all-'round utility revolver" category.
I handled one 620 on the store shelves. It was well-fitted, though the DA trigger was kind of disappointing. "Hitchy," not a clean smooth pull like my 629.
I hope that was a fluke. The fixed-sighted 619, in particular, has potential. It could make a good serious-carry gun loaded with seven rounds of Remington 125 gr Golden Sabers. It has the same compact, yet backstrap-covering rubber grip that the current production Model 10 wears. This is a really nice grip. Feels secure and natural. I distinctly prefer it to the more traditional open-backstrap rubber grip design on the 620.
So -- anyone got one? Shot one? Pics would be great.
