This is the N frame .44 Special reproduced or re-created by S&W in the mid-80s, apparently at the urging of my favorite writer Skeeter Skelton. After the blued Model 24s sold out, S&W made a run in stainless called the 624. I believe the acceptance of this limited edition led to the later Mountain Revolver, and the current Mountain Guns in various chamberings. The Model 24 was essentially the same gun as the Model 1950 Target, with the slender barrel and square butt.
I'd like to know how many Model 24-3s were made, particularly the four inch barrel version. Is there a website with this kind of information for modern S&W revolvers?
