3 inch 657 .41 Magnum. Made in 1986.
 
Heck ya, I am totlly addicted. Two 2 3/4" .44 mags, 2" .44 spl., 3 1/2" .45 Colt, and I have a Colt frame destined to be a snubbie .45 colt.
 
3 Inch 657

I had a 629 and a 657 that were Hil Hebert models. Smith & Wesson would not admit it but both guns went back to the factory for new frames. I think they were "K" frame revolvers. I would contact S&W and give them the cerial numbers and ask what frome it is on.
 
I have twins to the .44 snub above, one in blue, one in stainless. They are a handful with wood grips and full house loads.
 
I am dying to get my hands on a S&W M325 SC. I have a line on one for $695 + tax but I have an empty wallet. Regards, Richard:D
 
I have 3" N-frames in 10mm, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt, as well as a 2" L-frame in .44 Special, so I guess it's safe to say that I lov... er, like big-bore snubbies. :)

Richard,

When you get your money saved up, you may want to give my dealer a call.

I bought my 325PD from him last spring for $630. I'm sure he would make you a similar price.

Good Luck...

3 in 45 acp=Defender, ultra carry and micro-compact first variations
3 in 44 special N-frames=M24 & M624
3 in M66
3 in L-frame 44 special=696 (3), all slightly different versions

Really, really need 625,629 and 686 3 inchers :o
 
I had the 3" blue Model 29 like Inspector Drebbin shows above. Sold it as I like the longer tube on the Maggies. Nice hardware, guys! :)
 
I have to say I'm completely at a loss as to WHY anyone would want the magnums in a snubbie. The big bore snubbie, yes, in a .44 spec or .45 acp, for example. But gewher asked "what's not to like?" Um, how about a bunch of wasted powder and unnecessary muzzle blast and recoil (not to mention unnecessary cylinder length), when you're talking .45 colt, .44 mag, .41 mag, or 10mm - same goes for .357 mag even though it's not "big bore". I don't get it - why buy a finely made gun in a magnum chambering with too short a barrel for it to do what it's capable of doing with a little more bbl length? Or if you get one for concealment, why not just .45 acp or .44 spec? Besides, if the issue is concealment, the barrel length is most definitely NOT the limiting factor - the size of that huge frame and cylinder sure is though! A 4" revolver is easily just as concealable as a 2 or 3", 95 times out of a 100 concealment scenarios - 4" seems to me to be the minimum length you'd want for the likes of .45 colt and 10mm, and a 4.5-5" bbl minimum for .357 mag, .44 mag, or .41 mag. 3" seems good for a .45 acp or .44 spec in a smallish gun, but not beyond those bigbores. What gives - what the heck am I missing? It is just sheer enjoyment of the massive muzzle flash and recoil that serves no useful purpose other than the entertainment value of fireworks and letting you know you're alive by hurting your hands or what? Nothing wrong with that, if that's what it is. Is it because you're using fanny pack or some other relatively unusual form of concealment where bbl length might actually make a difference even where that big honkin frame will not? What? I just don't understand.
