Discussion
Date of discontinuance
I know it states "present" but I am sure Smith & Wesson unfortunately discontinued all the K frame .357 magnums.
Nickel finish vs. Stainless steel
How do you tell the difference? - User: 2wingo
- To me, nickel-plating seems a bit glossier. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:37, 15 December 2012 (EST)
Re-released
As of this year the Model 66 has been re-released with a 4.25" barrel. Pretty awesome. Also have a new (sorta) L-frame .44 Magnum out as well. StanTheMan (talk) 16:16, 28 January 2014 (EST)
