According to information acquired through my most reliable source, there are some new breed S&W revolvers with case color hardened frames which also have the case color hardened side plates. Because the metal requires heating during the case color hardened process, the steel of side plates have the tendency to shrink. Some such plates might possibly make it out the door on a finished revolver. It might be worth examining the fit of the side plates on such S&W revolvers before finalizing purchase. Just a tip.

I'd be happy to hear that some new S&W revolvers are to be made with case colored and hardened frames at all. I'd imagine that this would be the 686?

Double-Action and Color Cased?  That would be a replica of what?  |

I've heard rumors they were bringing back the lemon squeezer. (but in .38spl) It could work on that gun. Don't know if it originally came that way. I've seen engraved, nickel plated varieties, and blued versions. Here are a couple of quick pics of some originals..   |

Double-Action and Color Cased? That would be a replica of what? Colt had it's double action Lightning, which looked like a Single Action Army but with a double action trigger. I think my source mentioned the newer color case hardened S&W as being with the grip safety AKA The Lemon Squeezer. S&W produced a series of revolvers only a few years ago, with color case hardened frames, called the Heritage Series. |
