Thanks for making my morning! Got to learn something new. I had never heard of those. Pretty rare bird. Looking forward to a range report.
Kind regards,
Tycer

Congratulations. I had to look that one up.

Several years ago I acquired an unfired 12-3. It's a delightful piece, but S&W of that particular era weren't the best made. Last year I finally found a 'smith who could arrange the fix for the hammer nose bushing on mine. I just got it back and am looking forward to spring to try it out. Which reminds me, I need to load up a few hundred light WC cartridges yet this winter.

I'm biased being a huge fan of S&W revolvers. But that's a great gun!

Well you sure set your sights high. I have a 28-2, IMHO they are the best shooter out there. Plenty of eight to steady things.
