Middle Man Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 We should see if they'd be interested in making a 5" 625... What a great concept! I recall going down that road on the 5" 625 Mike... I'm a buyer at Bangers too...as well as a forum member...this path is well worn. I went down the exclusive road on an AR built for 3 gun in early 2008 and almost got canned for it...thanks to the market madness that started in late Oct 2008 it didn't matter too much, every AR on the shelf evaporated.

itchy Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 So, on this new run of 38 supers, will the barrel be .355? I'm just about to buy one of the original run models, but might wait for the new batch. Seiichi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snubby Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Why dose this have to be a performance center gun. They still come with a trigger that would take 2 men and a boy to pull. The only thing that I can see that the performance center might do to upgrade a gun for competition shooters is a longer brl and Cylinder cut for moons. I think that the way to go is to Keep the performance center out of it and keep the price down. Why pay for the performance center prices, when you are going to have to put more money in to the gun anyway. The performance center was started to do little and charge a lot to the people who don't Know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubber Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 For those of you that have 38 Supers--what is the ID of the cylinder throats on your revo's Irjet, Does 0.352 sound right? I don't meassure much and I may be doing it wrong but the forward end of the cylinder holes meassure that on a cheapo dial caliper. later rdd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't measure much and I may be doing it wrong but the forward end of the cylinder holes measure that on a cheapo dial caliper. later rdd Wish you had a micrometer and telescoping gauge or ball gauge to measure. My guess it would be nice to see a throat diameter .0005 larger than bore diameter. Ideally .3555 to .3565. Since I have heard 38 supers still have .357 bore yours prolly is .3575 to .358. With the calipers that small knife edge flat would give a smaller measurement than it really is. Hope they run the supers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegot38 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Is the new gun the same as the original one or will there be changes? If so, what are the differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjanglin Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I pickedup a 38 super a short time back, if I was one of the smiths in the performance center Id be ashamed of my self and S&W selling those supers for that price is =shoot I cant think a proper word. Nothing in this gun I have is something Id call special and it was in an unfired condition when I got it. First time I took it to the range I wore out my finger shooting it. Performance Center isnt anything special as far as I can tell. Id rather have them put out one like the pro series they have now.

scottyinAZ Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) everyones precious 627 357's msrp is $1375 and the v comp is $1659. a standard 6 shot 4" 686 is $909!!! seems like the super is right in the hut for Smiths PC prices. i agree thats crazy money for a #1 revolver, #2 revolver that needs work to shoot, #3 comes with ugly grips, #4 comes with an ugly hammer, #5 has that stupid lock. Sign me up for another one, got the cash waiting already. its not like we are going to buy a taurus.

Irjet, I tried a 380 95 grain bullet .355 bullet, it would go through if dropped into the cylinder. I placed in the cylinder a little shaking got it through. A 357 would not fall through. I could not push it through and stopped short of driving it through with a punch. But 357 is what I shoot thrugh it. It works well.

itchy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 So, how's the accuracy on a .356 bullet? Or should I just go straight to 357? Seiichi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldchar Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 For my 686 38 super, with Billy RN 160 I go right to .3575 (advertised as .358), awesome accuracy. Defintely better than .356 which might go from .355 to .3565. I also use .356 Raniers, 151 but the 160's are more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
