It seems like everything revolver-related from S&W these days is stainless and huge. Further, they always seem to forget they have all these great old designs in the vault that would totally go bonkers on a re-release. For instance, if they were to reboot the Registered Magnum— and do it right– or take the original small frame Boyko Chief’s Special (which I recently got to handle) and deliver a short run of similar snubbies, I think they would sell every single one on allocation.

Speaking of special runs, they just released this batch of 250 specially engraved N-Frame .357 to salute the 200th Anniversary of the Texas Rangers.

I have to say, they are beautiful, with Goncalo Alves grips, a deep-blued steel frame, and a fluted cylinder, although a bit garish when it comes to the inlays but hey, it does fit the aesthetic of a Texas BBQ Gun– which may be what they were trying to go for. 

The bad news is, it is $3K.

Still, knowing the following that the Rangers and anything Texas has, these will not be gathering dust on the shelves.
