This is the full honest review of the new Smith and Wesson Ultimate Carry J-frame in .38 Special and .32 H&R Magnum. S&W has made the best pocket revolver for decades and this is the final version of their design thanks to Lipsey's. Is this exclusive wheelgun worth owning? Watch this full review featuring shooting range footage from Nightwood Guns to find out!

This video dropped literally as I’m packing up to head to the range to shoot the brand new 442UC I completely randomly stumbled across yesterday afternoon. I’m super pumped!
Perfect timing! Enjoy! 🙌
$820+ is a lotta money for a 5 shot aluminium j frame Kinda silly , no ¿ ¡😅
@@christianhardwick6530 Yep. But, if you haven’t noticed, everything costs a lot of money now. Its street price is appropriate considering the current market. That being said, I’d take a micro 9mm with double the capacity at nearly half the price any day 👀
@@christianhardwick6530I paid 699$ for a 432UC my 642 pro series was like 500$ so yes the upgrades are worth $200 extra to me. The grips and sights are awesome, the xtra chamber and 32nag chambering is super cool, and the trigger is way lighter than my 642 pro. 👍🏻
At 2:19 did anyone else say “No! Don’t do it!” Then he didn’t. Whew! 😂
😅👍
I would have been surprised if he did it. He is too good a gun guy , in the know even though folks his vintage would go ahead and "dew it"......
kinda interested in the kimber k6xs, since its a 6 shot .38spl j-frame sized revolver vs s&w 5 shot
That K6 is indeed slick. Wish a 4" or 6" .327 were offered. It would make a great trail gun.
If you are ok with the slightly increased cylinder size and weight, the K6S and K6XS are hard to beat. S&W Ultimate Carry June 2024

They had some amazing people consulting on the UC: Darryl Bolke and Bryan Eastridge
Absolutely 👍
The “old coots “ should be happy younger men are interested in revolvers. Newer generations spur updates, innovation and improvements to some great classics. Keep it up bro!!!
lol I don’t care which gun your Gen prefers , but revolvers aren’t going to be improved they won’t be the quality that S&W was in the 50’s or 60’s . Yeah you get new calibers and trigger locks and floating firing pins and fancy sights on a snub nose🤣and probably a$200 increase over that of a standard Airweight .
@@randyblackburn9765s&w ain't the only wheelgun in town
@@taasch2505doesn’t matter my point is still the same whether it’s Colt , Taurus , Smith, Ruger , Henry, updates and improvements won’t make a better gun .They will never be as good as they were 40 or 50 years ago . Customer service has apparently gone down probably because they can’t keep up with the warranty repairs. Henry not withstanding because their revolvers are in the infancy. Perhaps the young generation can spur an improvement and get Henry to put a shroud on the ejector rod
What do you mean 'old coots'? They cant tell me nuttin. My .38s are from the 1800's
@@radicaledwards3449 yes the good ole days, I miss the 1800s😄
Stoked for the 432UC in 32 H&R
It's gonna be the more fun one at the range for sure
Same
Can you please explain to me what’s so appealing about the 32 caliber round besides a little bit less recoil? The round costs twice as much as 38 spl and isn’t anywhere near as abundant as 38. I don’t understand the hype and would like to be convinced otherwise. Thank you
@@LegendaryZG he says it at the beginning of the vid
@@LegendaryZG 6 Rounds instead of 5. They shoot 32 S&W Short, 32 S&W Long, 32 H&R and the LCR shoots 327 Fed Mag. Also 32ACP is a semi rimmed cartridge and can be fired if needed. It’s very versatile. You can also teach children to shoot or older folks with recoil sensitivity. If you go with 327 Fed Mag it’s around the same power as 357 Magnum so it’s a very powerful defense cartridge except you have an additional round.
One thing not mentioned is the two-piece barrel. Some traditionalists hate this, but it's far easier to get the barrel shroud perfectly straight. I picked up a like-new S&W 638 that I got dirt cheap because the barrel was visibly canted by almost 1/16". The two-piece system eliminates this. Accuracy should be just fine. Back in the day, The Dan Wesson revolvers with two-piece barrels were easily capable of hitting 10 steel silouette chickens (smaller than a sheet of printer paper) at 50 yards standing freestyle with a time limit. So I think the two-piece barrel is a good thing.
It is, and makes the barrels relatively low cost to replace. Even the mim parts, are consistent and strong and drop in replaceable. I've heard long time s&w master gun smiths argue they are made just as good today, and s&w still guarantees on their sub 3 inch revolvers from a vice will keep a 1.7 inch group at 7 yards, 3.9 inch group at 14 yards and 6.3 inch or less group at 21 yards. I'd say that is solid for short barrel snubs, its more how well the shooter can aim/steadily pull the trigger. New or old. If you have a working s&w revolver it is a gem 👍👍🇺🇸
Love mine. Got the 32H&R six shot and love the low recoil. I can shoot this one all day long!!!! Awesome gun with an upgraded mechanism and many other upgrades.
According to Sam the revolver aficionado the 32 h&r has the best muzzle energy to felt recoil ratio out there

Nice little wheel gun, I carried a 442 for years and just recently bought a kimber k6xs and really like that extra round
When you are at that low of a round count, an additional round definitely makes a difference 👍
Love the revolver content! I carry a Smith and Wesson 686 plus 7 shot 357 magnum! I will always be a champion of the revolver!
Very nice! I’m a huge fan of the 7-Shot Smiths! I have a 586 L-Comp that I love 👍
Very cool new offerings. The features on these exclusive Lipsey models are definitely most welcome. I have the 32 H&R magnum version on my radar. I am a huge fan of S&W J frames. New addition will be forthcoming in the near future.
😎👍
I have 3 now with the third still on its way from a GB auction. If you don’t want to play the return to S&W game, make sure you inspect before you take possession.

I like Lipseys stuff. Cool firearm. Can't wait to see the Spohr. Get to the range this weekend everyone!
Hey man I've really been enjoying all your revolver content recently. I picked up a Ruger Security Six last week, after never having shot or owned a revolver. I shot it for the first time yesterday and I was blown away by how much fun it was. I don't think it will enter my carry rotation though due to its age and an issue with the ejector rod. However, people dismiss wheelguns in favor of autos nowadays, when a wheelgun might actually be a better option in some cases. Who knows, maybe I just dont have the right one yet?
So glad I found your channel and subbed!
Right on! The Security Six is a classic! I just picked up a GP100 and I’ve been loving it 👍 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience 😎
Security Sixes are awesome & I'm sure Ruger would fix anything like the ejector rod...back in the 80's a shooting buddy had a problem with his & Ruger repaired it & had it back to him in a week or so....
So carry, shoot, & enjoy your's...
One advantage revolvers have in a self defense scenario is that most semi autos will go out of battery & become non-functional if pressed hard against an attacker's body during a struggle while a revolver will still fire....
I couldn't find one yet so I just bought the Kimber K6sx, but this one and a Langdon Beretta are still on my list for this year
I’d say that’s a good list! 😅👍
LMAO saw where Spohr was bringing their stuff over here glad someone got a hold of one will be looking forward to that. Also good video man happy Easter!
Glad you enjoyed the vid! I can’t wait to share the Spohr on the channel 👍 Happy Easter!
They should offer a 638 without key lock and the same sights
That would be awesome 👍
You had me at “That’s my purse” 😂😂😂
🤣👍
So… I have now put about 300 rounds through mine 632 (same reason you cited, why not go 32?? ) and I LOVE IT!!! It is accurate, easy to shoot and soft on the hands. The DA pull is smooth with no stacking and predictable and the size is perfect for all day every day carry. It have made its way into my rotation right along side the Wilson Combat EDC x9, CZ Shadow 2 Compact, Stacatto CS, and Sig P365 AXG Legion, and into my Micro pocket carries when I’m in the mood which include Kimber Micro 9, and Beretta Tomcat.
The ultimate carry is well named and as fun to shoot as any other gun I own, and let’s be honest, if it isn’t fun, then you don’t practice, and if you don’t practice you shouldn’t carry it.
Very nice! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying it! .32 is definitely the way to go! 🙌
A fine review of a fine piece. I appreciate the honesty about the cons of the revolver.
Glad you enjoyed the review 👍
i have an old model 640 that i've carried off and on for years. i replaced the rubber grip with a nice, wood "banana" grip that has room for all three fingers, has a good palm swell and protection for the knuckle up front. i'll go for the weight of that piece over any airweight. i don't notice the weight on a good belt and i don't notice the recoil either. the airweights i've shot always seem to want to do somersaults. it's also nice to have the opportunity to use magnums as a choice too.
I think your 640 is a great piece, especially if it’s older 👍 Can’t go wrong!
"Stop that's my purse", lol.
“I don’t know you!”
I’m glad people got the reference 😂
The snubbie is still my go to choice for a small firearm. It's alot easier to get ahold of a small revolver than a small autoloader and even if you're grip is suboptimal the thing will keep firing where an autoloader can start to jam. The shape of a snub also lends itself well to comfort and concealment in general. Thankfully everything worked out and they convinced Smith to do a .32 version. I would really like to see a revival of all .32 caliber cartridges and this UC j frame, along with the Beretta 30x are going to do a lot to bring .32 back into the mainstream.
Wish S&W offered it with a 3" barrel as well.
That would be awesome 👍
That was my initial thought when I first saw this; just a little 2" barrel... But, I guess it's designed for pocket carry.
I think Ruger got it right with the 2.25" bbl on the sp101
@@rustwins4442 My uncle has one. It's a little heavy but it is indestructible.
@@PassivePortfolios I had one. It was definitely heavier than I wanted but I thought the in between bbl length was perfect because I find 3" to be a bit long and 1 7/8" to be a bit too short.
Have UC 642 and it is awesome.
I carry my 360PD in a Harry’s Icon. Excellent holster.
Very nice! Definitely my favorite J-frame holster 👍
A good, thorough review, giving the good and bad about this pistol. Well done.
👍
I still can’t get over how it weighs 5 ounces more than the 340PD and 342Ti all these years later
Shoots a little better when it’s heavier 🤷♂️
@@NightwoodGuns I’ve only been carrying for about 20 years but in my humble opinion carryability supersedes shootability for a deep concealed piece like this.
Either way I was looking at the branded “ultimate carry J frame” as an upgrade, and I was disappointed
@@BadDriverrr I understand that. I carry full-size pistols K/L frame revolvers, so weight isn’t much of a consideration for me. This is still significantly lighter than what I normally carry. But from your point of view, I can see why you were disappointed.
I have been contemplating getting a Korth, but ever since I saw TFB TV’s video on the Spohr, I have been stuck in a dilemma, so I really look forward to your video on it!
Absolutely! 👍 I’ve been loving it! Cant wait to share it with everyone! 😎
The endurance package means nothing if they didn't add a steel bushing to where the cylinder arbor goes in the frame, like with the Model 340. I wore out my 642 after 7,000 rounds simply because it egged out that part of the frame until the timing went to pot. The aluminum pins were still fine.
Nevermind, I just found a pic of this area online, and it looks like they did include the steel bushing as well. Very nice!
I just ordered a 432 uc, can't wait, will compare against my 432 pd
This is really like my 640-1 pro series, just in .38spl
I think it would be worth the extra premium on it, based on what I have seen online.
👍
Thanks for the video.
I probably can't afford this model, but it sounds nice. I hate to think that the quality on regular Smith and Wesson J-frames are going down so much. I love the internal hammer models. I don't understand why they would make the .32 version in .32 H&R Magnum when they could make it in .327 Federal Magnum and be able to shoot all of the .32 calibers. Ultimately, I would probably still prefer this one in .38 Special +P because the ammo is more available.
I’m glad I wasn’t anywhere public when that purse bit came up 🤣
That 686 though 🤤
🤣🤣🤣
I am on a wait list for their 642 in 38. I already carry their standard 642 in 38. One concern is though I love the new sights, I thought these look definitely more likely to snag when pocket or winter coat carry.
..they do. I got one a few weeks ago... The sights are great but do catch the pocket hem on the way out...
Does the black aluminum finish hold up to kydex holsters? I prefer the black, but having no experience with aluminum framed revolvers, I‘m reluctant. I don‘t mind a little wear like on blued guns, but I fear that aluminum might age really badly😅
Their new finishes aren’t great. I’d expect wear for sure.
I EDC small snub-nosed revolvers often. A LCR in 357 more than anything. But also a S&W J-frame and a Taurus in 327 Federal Mag. My J-frame is used for my shower gun most of the time. 😎
Subscribed for the King of the Hill reference. Great video!
Haha! Welcome to the channel 👍
Subbed. Don't fret about getting bashed for being "young looking". Shoot, I wish I was young looking like you. I'm 57 going on 100 and am aging terribly. Anyhoo... nice review. I'll stick with my old trusty 13.5 ounce Ruger LCR.
Honestly, you had me until you said medium sized gloves. I wear XXL winter gloves so there'd be absolutely no way lol... I don't want to end up on a TikTok compilation. 😅
This would be like a keychain gun in your hands 🤣👍
It's really about time S&W got off their duffs and installed drift sights on the J-frame, such a shame a third party has to push S&W to get with it. Trigger looks nice and wide, another "about time" feature. S&W has been lazy with their revolvers of late, but I get it. Who wants 6-rounds when you can have 16-rounds. The chances of getting assailed by only one person is slim to none, and slim just left town.
I love my non-revolvers, but CQB or gun-jitsu will show you how useless a slide out of battery is compared to a wheel gun.
@@Inkushu I'm with you....we need semi-auto revolvers
What are your thoughts between this and the 340pd?
Depends on your budget and caliber necessity. Personally, I’d get this in .32 for the extra round and less recoil for follow up shots 👍
@@NightwoodGunsthank you for the direction!
Pretty much in agreement about your assessment for new owners that the Ultimate Carry fits the bill for folks that want "one J-frame to cover it all".
What surprised me is how it took this long for them to implement the UC line considering they had already implemented most of those features on its heftier brother, the 640 Pro. Now I don't have to spend about 30% more money for a heavier J-frame that I'd never take advantage of being able to shoot .357 Magnum out of because .38 +P is plenty enough for me from such a small handgun.
Well said 😎👍
Is that a copy of Gunsmith Cats on the shelf back there?
Yep, lol. And the manga is right below it. 😅
Appreciate the review @NightwoodGuns. Have always found J Frames to be a bit punishing to shoot, particularly in .38. Would love to hear your thoughts on the H&R model if you get your hands on one.
I just shot one this week. Definitely easier on the hand plus an extra round! I’d say it’s a no-brainer 😎👍
Is Smith and Wesson still using that cheap watercolor finish on the alloy frames?
Yes, but this one looks like it has a clear anodizing done to it. It has an almost shiny topcoat 🤷♂️
I pocket carry the M&P 357 version. Goes everywhere. Like it’s not even there. Wheel guns deserve love.
Edit: still love those grips. Just don’t wanna give up my laser grips the M&P came with.
Should have been .327 instead of .32 mag! 😁
The lightweight frame killed that idea due to cartridge pressures of the .327 Mag. Would like to see them offer this in a Steel Frame to handle the .327 Mag.
@@_JimS What about a scandium frame?
Adamantium would be a lot better.
@@Shadow__133 😂
Scandium would be great for 327, but it would be well over a grand MSRP. They made the right choice for a wider audience.
The grips aren’t meant for 3 fingers. My pinky stays comfortably at the bottom of the grip on my 432UC just like my 642 pro series. 👌
Who makes holsters for the new SW UC J frame’s especially in the 32 HR ??
The Icon from Harry’s Holsters that I showed in the video 👍
I had a old 637 and got rid of it and my ole lady bought me a 36 Chiefs special. Gotta love girls and guns.
Good morning from the Sandhills of NC. I have been eyeballing this “ultimate carry”since it was announced. Can’t remember if Talo was involved but I think so.Doesn’t matter. The name is pretty bold but it has about everything you’d want or need. & the Harry of HH. You know your details,so,You know he went with a solid year of nothing but small frame revolvers for a full year recently. You have the best or at the very least one of the best kydex holsters available. You nailed everything about the video,including the value (in 2-3 decades)comment at the beginning of the video. I hace to go now. Late. But I have more to say. The vz grips. I v got a pair on my 66-2. Will be back. Have a nice day. Subscribed today too. L8r
I wish they would update the J-frame with the crane-locking cylinder, like on the new combat magnums. The J more than any other frame could benefit from a longer ejector rod.
That would be awesome, but an expensive redesign to tool up for. I’m not surprised they went the cheaper route for these.
It might take a while, but we're on the list.
Wadcutters for the 38 will shoot very well.😊
😎👍
When and where will these be available?
They’re out now; you can theoretically get them from anybody who is a Lipsey’s dealer but they’re relatively few and far between right now. I lucked into finding one randomly but most folks are having their local shop order one for them.
Hi, I see you are running the Harry's icon 2.0 holster there, have you also tried the Tulster RATH by any chance? How do they compare? Thanks.
I was looking for 32 HR magnum at a gun store in blaine, minnesota. One of the employees stated he had never even heard of 32 magnum.😮
🤦♂️😂
Im struck at that violent/downward 45° flame blast and am trying to sort why it's so repeatable in that unusual direction. Is it jetting between the crane and the frame? (!!!)
The PHLSTER Philly Special AIWB holster and Mika’s Pocket Holsters are my go to for snubbies.
Those are great options 👍
I hope you do a video on the 586 l comp. I'm considering buying that one. I have 3 or 4 revolvers but I must choose one. The 586 l comp, 19 carry comp, 3 inch new python or this UC J frame.
I’ll be doing a vid on it, but it’ll be several weeks out. I got in over my head with product reviews and now I’m playing catch up. Short “trust me bro” answer: 586 L-comp (7 rounds+moon clips) inspect it for QC issues before picking it up, and send it to Nelson Ford for an action job. You’ll have a world-class revolver. Unless you want a micro gun for deep-deep belt concealment or pocket/ankle carry. Then I’d get the UC in .32 👍
@NightwoodGuns yeah I was leaning towards the 586 l comp the most. I'm in Arizona too and have driven past nelson ford's shop before. Thanks for the reply. I look forward to that video.
Hell of a gun! I'll probably end up switching out the grips, though. The sights and beveled chambers really set this apart from other options.
I agree about the grips. I'd like to see someone make a soft "rubber-like" aftermarket grip that came up high on the backstrap like the factory one. I think I'd go for it in 32 mag.
It’s a great offering! And yeah, if you plan on doing any amount of shooting with this thing… I’d swap grips 😂👍
big revolver guy, needa see the beefed up 686 video
Great review on the J-Frame. As a politically active firearms owner, the Aura I.D. protection looks worthwhile. The easy cancellation within 14 day free trial may be worth giving this a try.
Give it a shot! I’m a fan 👍
Nice review good to see revolver content seems like it could be a good option for small light revolver to carry for someone
😎👍
Can’t wait for that Spohr review
Same. I can’t wait to show it off! 🙌
Do they make an exposed hammer like the 637? I carry the 637 in a pocket Alabama holster in the summer a good bit. I really hate the tunnel sight though
Lipseys says they will keep ordering runs of these pistols as long as they are selling.
A second run is already in the works.
Very nice! 👍 Hopefully they sell well enough that it will kick off other -UC offerings 👀
The world asked and you delivered another revolver vid! Haha! But... SPOHR!!! We 'need' the Spohr review vid. Awesome stuff as always!
I have so many revolver vids on the way, I just have to finish a few more reviews on my plate first 👍 Can’t wait to share the Spohr! 🙌
Kimber k6xs has out done the j frame
With the exception of the sights. Dovetail sights are a superior option.
Googling yourself will never NOT sound dirty...
😏
Also, when is the Spohr video coming?
It’ll be a few weeks, I want to make sure I get to thoroughly test it before I share my thoughts and observations 👍
The UC J Frame is something that I plan on getting. Mine will be the 432 in 32 H&R Magnum. But just as the new Springfield SA 35 skyrocketed after its initial offering, so has the 432UC J Frame.. On gunbroker, these have an asking price of $1099-$1200, with a Lipseys MSRP of $759. I might give MSRP, but doubtful. I certainly will not give gb prices. So, Smith and Wesson, congrats on continuing to erode your fan base by involving Lipseys in a product with little to no initial supply and a waning of interest, as a result.
What S&W had to do with a Distributor exclusive, Ruger has been doing for many years already with the LCR .327. S&W probably has a few more polished things with this UC model, but the Ruger LCR isn't any slouch either, especially factory trigger and the hotter .32 and recoil absorbing grips/polymer subframe.
Good point 👍
I'm a huge fan of the 327, I do wish it was more available. I searched for a LCR but ended up with a Taurus. I like it, it's been reliable but it's not the same..

This would be a great back up on the ankle. I carry a 686 plus with a 2 inch barrel with boot grips
Very nice! Which boot grips are you running?
@NightwoodGuns Altamont boot grips. Rosewood checkered with s&w Medallions. Gives it that classic cowboy look
@@rickyricardo873 Very nice!
Guess I am different, but I want my sidearms on at 25 yards with duty carry ammo. Granted in a self defense situation it would most likely be not aimed, but a point n' shoot situation, but maybe, just maybe one might find themselves in an active shooter encounter where accuracy at range would be extremely important.
I agree, that’s also why I don’t carry a snubbie as a primary. 18 rounds of 9mm +P with a red dot. Never know when the worst case scenario could happen.
Those small revolvers are nice for pocket carry
I love revolvers, but I just don't understand why Smith and Ruger don't make small 6-shot revolvers. We have advanced enough in technology for the J-frame and the SP-101 to be 6-shot guns by now.
Technology is still limited by size, getting a 6th round of 38 spl requires a larger cylinder. Look at the 856, the cylinder adds a bit of width over the j frame or Ruger offerings. They do make 6 round j frames and lcrs in .32
wish they made this in a airwweight and in 32 mag ,,, I milled my sight and put a big dot sight and springs on 642 ,,,,
It is an air weight and they do make it in .32 mag. 432uc.
Nice except for the plywood grips. What is the matter with nice Walnut?
I’d say G10 is a step up from plywood. But I do appreciate nice walnut 👍
It has a surprising amount of gasses escaping from the flash gap. I’m wondering if the flash gap is too wide..
It’s acceptable. It was probably just the ammo I was shooting. Nasty stuff.
I'm an "old coot". I probably have socks older than you. But I do enjoy your vids, kiddo. You know your sheet and present it well. My 640 is in .357. Yeah... One or two defensive cylinder dumps and I'm done. Cheers!
Awesome King of The Hill reference. 😂😂
😂👍
Already on a list to get one!
Nice 👍
I bought a 442 last October. A few months too early. That said, a j-frame still has a place in my carry rotation.
So need an honest opinion. Have several 357 J-frames already. They are lighter and of course capable of shooting bigger fireballs. Is it still worth trying to get a UC?
I would say you fall into a category of “get it because you want it, because you definitely don’t need it” 😅 If you are happy with your J-frames I’d say you’re good. But the UC is awesome and would be a fun addition (especially in .32 H&R since you’d get an extra round in it)
@@NightwoodGuns that was what I was thinking as well cause no recoil sounds fun after 357 out of M&P 340........
@@montanawheeler .357 mag out of a scandium j-frame will humble anyone 😂
Hey what about that 586 L comp tho 🤔🤔🤔 I watched a video where it was having light primer strikes and it makes nervous to buy one of S&W’s Performance Center guns
I took it to my man Nelson Ford and he did an action job and added an extended firing pin. Now it feels like a Korth for 1/3 of the price and is reliable 😂👍
@@NightwoodGuns good ole Mr. Ford lol nice 👍🏻
@@Mitsurifan357 But yeah, modern S&W revolvers are a dice roll. Always check timing and barrel alignment before committing to one at the very least 😅 You can always add an extended firing pin if you get light strikes.
@@NightwoodGuns the dice roll is 100% true. I’ve been burned before with S&W. I’m very thorough with my inspections now lol
@@Mitsurifan357 The worst one for me was when I inherited my grandma’s 1988 airweight and the frame cracked after 5 rounds (it was previously unfired, lol) Should have just sold it instead of shooting it. It was made a year before their lifetime warranty started but they replaced it anyway. Unfortunately, the 642 they sent me was covered in burrs (and I mean COVERED), had a misaligned barrel, the timing was off on two chambers, you could nearly slide a toothpick through the cylinder gap, dings and scratches all around, and the ejector rod was chipped. It was unreal 😭 Right in the middle of pandemic times, so I wasn’t completely surprised. Good stuff. 😂
Nice video and nice collections! Any feedback on M&P R8 / 327 TRR8?
That a great wheelgun! Probably the best revolver choice for home defense (or riot shield use) 🤣 Just be sure to look out for wonky S&W QC. Mostly just check timing and barrel alignment before committing 👍
That is a problem even my old colt detective special a fairly heavy snub nose kicked like a mule with run of the mill 38. Forget +P. Get this in 32.
Why don't they make any j frames in 327 federal?
Because for some reason companies won’t just make what we want 😂 The real answer is cost.
Other than the capacity and the next issue I'm going to say. I prefer the look and feel of double action revolvers to striker fire pistols. That being said other than some low capacity 22's I have yet to see any revolvers I'd consider concealable. The closest I've seen that is practical is the Rhino since it balances the recoil, but its still larger then my XDM 10mm, which I dint attempt to conceal carry because of how thick it is.
If we aren't talking a conceal carry gun Id the the best cost to value ratio is a classic Ruger Security six in 357 mag. Of cost isnt a concern then probably an 8 shot Revolver from Ruger or Smith and Wesson.
I just watched someone else’s RUclips video on that gun and the trigger stuck back first shots fired. Very disappointing to see hope yours works better than his.
Yikes! I mean… based on what I’ve seen coming out of Smith recently I’m not surprised. Though it does seem that the UC is having better luck than other Smiths. Time will tell. Thanks for letting me know!
I love my J more so now that I shoot 38 wadcutters , so much more manageable than 38 special . And the wadcutter is a real man stopper because it will cause a massive wound . The typical gun battle uses 3 shots so since I can be very accurate with placement five is sufficient.
Will wait to see how the Diamondback SDR turns out
I still prefer a built to last Colt Detective Special with a hammer shroud as a pocket revolver. Still have that single action ability for more precise shots at longer distances. Not a fan of hammerless DAO revolvers even with the upgraded sights and better grips. Grips can always be changed even if fixed sights cannot. Only offered in a two inch it seems, no three inch. Revolvers are more reliable than autoloaders and simple to operate without the hassles. I know you are in the capacity camp also about a revolver's limited capacity but a lot of folks are out of touch with reality of needing more capacity in a five second gunfight where no one can get through a mag or cylinder let alone have time to reload. Yes there is the above average person living in gangland and high crime area that needs the extra capacity ammo reloads but the average person only has a less than one percent chance of multiple threats and a longer ten or thirty second gunfight and that is why we still carry reloads and don't stake our lives on averages.
Great review bud, I want one! 👍
😎👍
I would love to get a 6 inch 357 magnum, I'd use it as a EDC
That would be awesome 👍
I've watched hundreds of gun battles on ASP, and never once did I see a civilian gunfight where more than 5 shots made the difference. Police? Military? Absolutely, because they are forced to move TOWARD the threat. Civilians aren't. Most everyone trying to copy spec ops and COD wanna bee is just justifying their purchases. Not only will you most likely never use your firearm, the chances of you needing 6+ rounds are astronomical when you combine those 2 factors.
If you say so
I’d rather have more rounds in the gun and not need them, than need more rounds in the gun and not have them. Not telling others what to do, just sharing what I do 👍
I’ve agreed with this perspective for years, but with the border situation leading almost certainly to some kind of major event, I’m starting to reconsider.
I will attest this gun in 38 Spc is a hand hammer. +P ammo hurts to shoot. That being said, I do not regret buying it at all.
It’ll thump ya! But it’s a nice wheelgun 👍
