I’m not going to waste any words so i’ll just get right to it Box the box is the usual blue hard case with foam padding This case does not and did not support the pistol adequately during transit but luckily this did not harm the pistol ( no smith and wesson stock was harmed in the making of these no lock mountain guns in 2025) I have been playing with these s&w wheel guns since the mid 1970s, and own several in my collection The most two accurate guns i own and the ones i actually carry to the field are my two mountain guns in 357 and 44.
Except in very few cases, actual production dates by serial number are not available Approximate production dates for postwar guns have been published, most notably in the standard catalog of smith & wesson The 5th edition is the most recent and is available on amazon. It is in great shape, i am very happy The only negative is the cylinder release is a little stiff I have a 642 and a gp100 that are much easier to release
This is my first larger frame s&w.
