Re: Pre-WWII S&W Heavy Duty w/5" barrel

Yes! The daddy of the .357 Magnum.

This model is a much more significant development than most people realize. It ushered in the modern magnums we now all know and love.

The Triple Lock gave us the N frame hand ejector; but later, the .38 HD, designed for the "magnumized" .38 Super Police, led directly to the modern revolver cartridges.

Thanks for sharing.
