![]() Early 1970s S&W model 29 .44 Magnum Magnaported and chrome finished by Magnaport. This is my holy grail revolver that I inherited from my late father back in 2020. His favorite TV show was the 1980s Sledge Hammer and he copied the main character's gun. Originally Posted By backbencher: Did not realize Dan Wesson made a small frame.

Did not realize Dan Wesson made a small frame. Took me a minute, that's well proportioned. The newer DW .32 Magnum production models was also named 732 (stainless). Mine is actually a model 732 serial number prefix SF in the first 200 units made in 1986. |

Ok, you move your non-dominant hand forward to activate the light momentarily. A target of opportunity presents. You fire before you can move your non-dominant hand, which is now cut by the gas escaping from the cylinder gap. Or is there some special revolver mounted light doctrine? The best I've seen was a grip mounted light over the right side of the frame, but I think it's only for S&W J frames. |
