I had the opportunity to try this gun at a local range's customer appreciation day. The Shadow Systems rep was there. He let me break it in with a box of 50 rounds of Blazer brass. No malfunctions whatsoever, very accurate. The trigger on this is much better than my Glock 43X (which is the worst Glock trigger I ever had). I bought the regular CR 920 in April. I like this better than the smaller model. I did ask the SS rep - it appears the 15 round magazine will work in the old CR 920; I asked if there would be a sleeve to fill the gap, he said probably, but had no ETA.

I never got onto the J-frame wagon for the same reasons you mentioned; sights sucked, grips sucked, and the triggers sucked from the factory. Finally got on the wagon with the 442UC this year and they at least got two out of three right; the sights were worlds better than the fixed front blade and trench sights on older snubbies I've shot, the VZ grip let me get a high grip on the gun without making the web of my hand pay for it in blood, and the grip was just large enough to finally get all my fingers wrapped around it... ...But the trigger sucked; long, heavy, and S&W now gets to fix it after the trigger made it a habit of not wanting to reset every 15-20 rounds, both in live fire and dry fire, and requiring me to pinch the trigger on either side to push it back forward again. Honestly I think it might be the worst trigger on a revolver I've owned so far, with all my other Smith's having a better DA pull, including my 116 year old S&W M1917 that maxes out my Lyman trigger gauge at over 12 pounds. Once it comes back I'll likely get a spring kit installed to drop the trigger weight by a pound or two, and if it manages to work reliably this time, maybe it'll then be worthwhile enough to consider as my BUG.

To add to your comments, my gx4 has not only been extremely reliable. The build equality feels better than my walthers. And none of the recall issues I've noticed that with the sig 320 and other guns of that ilk. I know that Taurus did have a couple of recalls but mine was not affected by it the recall. And other than being selective on ammunition, no reloads. The gun has not failed going into battery or in reliability. I think I saw more teething issues with the p365 and I purchased this as a throwaway weapon, this has become my EDC

This is a genius idea from S&W, in an era of a lot of bonehead ideas and products by many large manufacturers. And I am not the type to spread lavish praise on a product willy-nilly. S&W should go a step further and offer 3" barrels.

Colt is asleep period. They are making showcase/shelf guns for Boomers these day. It's a pretty gun with a slow trigger that is easy to outrun shooting fast. It's also a MIM piece. If I was having my say it would be a rework of the police positive with forged parts, A crisp fast 5 lbs trigger with a strong return spring and melanite or parkerized finish. An all business gun met to win in a fight.32 mag.Not a shelf piece. For carry use.

Its not just Colt any more. Its Colt CZ. CZ owns Colt. My favorite snub is still the old tried and true Detective Special. Not really a pocket carry though with exposed hammer unless you get a hammer shroud but I don't pocket carry anyway. I will take a six shot Detective Special over a five shot Chief Special M36. Better trigger also. I will stay away from the lightweight frames that aren't as durable and increase felt recoil.

@robolive1232 күн бұрын
I've had mine for a couple months now (642UC .38). Not only does it have a "real" front sight, but also a real rear sight. Excellent set of sights! Also, these VZ grips are fantastic...perfect size, very comfortable, won't catch on cover garment during draw, and enough traction to not squirm in the hand. The sights and grips are worth the price of admission, IMHO. Compared to my 2 all-stainless 640's and another standard 642, I don't feel a big difference in trigger pull quality, but it's slightly better. There are also a couple of tweaks to strengthen the revolver, which I have to take on faith. The one of these that I am a big fan of is the 2-piece barrel...despite what some detractors say, in a revolver like this, the liner/shroud barrel reduces stress on the aluminum frame and is a good thing. Overall, this little gun is absolutely worth the extra money over a standard J-frame. Good review!
@Desperado32482 күн бұрын
First it would have been perfect if it was a keyless 638. Next , what is the actual barrel length? Is it a legitimate 2 inch barrel ? That translates to a little more velocity than the 1 7/8 usual J frame barrel

I don't understand why S&W doesn't just make better front sights in the first place. I held this in person a few weeks ago, the trigger was only slightly marginally better. The front sight was excellent. I can't justify selling my current Smith, then spend $800. The only benefit is a better sight. I know they boast they threw other stuff on it, but meh. It's a $800 J-frame with a real front sight. I really wanted this to be a great pistol, but it fell short for me.
@williamryan91952 күн бұрын
Why did they not go with better sights? Because to be honest they are not needed. Like staging the trigger it really doesn't get you a benefit that solid pull through will get. Like the guy said. It is for a get off me situation. I prefer trough/gutter sights, but most shooters today are demanding optics and "good sights".I never waste rounds pushing it out past 5 to 10 yards.800 for that purpose-built pistol is about right. It's in demand

I took my Cattleman II out yesterday and shot it with the 45ACP cylinder I purchased for it. It took a little machining to make it fit properly, which I let a qualified gunsmith do. Probably put 35 Colt longs and 50 ACPs through it. The ejector rod housing screw came loose. Probably the last one I haven't used the Loctite on. This is the first time I've shot it since installing the Wolff springs in it. Definitely worth every penny.

This old man likes the short barrel, easy maintenance, reliability, light, wide ammo selection, and my tapered barrel later version 'tactical' is plenty accurate enough (2-3 moa). ARs vomit on themselves every time you pull the trigger. That's why ARs like oil. AR or Mini, avoid Russian steel case ammo.
@Mowkade3 күн бұрын
This revolver is really hitting on all cylinders for me, but the major detractor aesthetically is that ejector rod hanging out there in the open with no locking bolt connecting. Not to mention the lack of a proper hammer stud. It’s understandable that they omitted this to reduce manufacture time and cost, but visually I would pay the extra money to have it. It might seem silly, but this will be the main reason why I will pass on this revolver. I think heritage should’ve partnered with Rossi on this one. .

It depends what you mean by power. The lighter grains typically are moving significantly faster and the slower rounds have more mass. They will both excel at different things.
