Here is an example of the classic Smith and Wesson
"N" frame Model 27. Being a "dash 2" this is
pinned and recessed, meaning the chamber mouths
are counterbored to accept case rims and the barrel
is secured to the frame by a pin. The "N" frame
is strong and will accept hot loads well, although
I tend to prefer using reduced loads for quantity
shooting.
This long barrelled version is not that convenient
to tote around compared to shorter versions but
I fancy there is a small gain in accuracy, as well
as providing the benefit of a very nice long sight
base. It does make for a very fine long range shooter. |
