[So we're hijacking FQs thread, but I have an excuse since he called me out in it.]
The Big Boy arrived yesterday. Actually I went and picked it up. Sales tax! Ouch. Always buy out of state.

For those really astute S&W fans. It was a
CENxxxx corrected CANxxxx s/n, which places it 1996. Too new to have a pinned barrel or a trigger stop. BUT: Look carefully children it has recessed and unfluted cylinder! I haven't pulled it apart to find the product code (no box/label) but it's possible it is a Product Code 103614 which Supica says only 50 were made. That might explain the -3 made in 1989, but the s/n indicating it was made around
2000 1996

So here's Little Brother with Big Brother in the back ground

So now for a family portrait. Left are .357Mags, from front to rear. 4" M66, 6" M686 and a 8-3/8" 686. And on the right side are the .44 Mags.
