Super cool gun though $3499 seems a bit high. A TRR8 is $1500 bucks. $350 for tk to do a 9mm conversion, an apex or REVup kit adds another $200 to $250. Then a 507 comp and plate for $400 still gets you there with a couple cases of ammo to spare. But it sure does look great.

Odd that they classify it as a medium frame.

$3,499 IS a bit high--UNLESS it's the ACTUAL gun Scary Jerry used to set the Record--Unlikely, I know... :)

That's a Vortex Defender (DPP footprint) - likely because JM shoots for Vortex.

Though it's apparently an 8 MOA version (VORTEX COMPDOT™ 8MOA) which is new. The Defender was previously released only with 3 and 6 MOA dots.

More interesting is:


C.O.R.E. Optic-plate system - New C.O.R.E.™ system for revolvers that allow you to mount a wide range of red dot optics available on the market.


So does this CORE system use the same plates as M&P pistols ?

[bofe954]

It would be a nice for steel challenge. I don't know what else an ultralight 9mm N frame would really be good for, and that price is insane.

[TDA]

It’s a limited run, 1,880 of them to celebrate his 1.88 plate record, so one of the objectives is to be expensive.

It does appear to be double stacked plates. I think if rather have an alchin or d&l etc to get them a bit lower. Maybe a minor difference but they're high enough that every bit helps. Plus plates to plates is another screw to get loose.

Had to be a typo, as they list as an n frame.

"Only" $2,999 if you pre-order at KY Gun Co.--Think I'll wait until they're on Clearance at CDNN... :)

Yeah that looks way taller than the existing EGW, Alchin, and JP mounts. I highly doubt they changed the adjustable sight footprint, so I'm not sure what benefit this has other than it's "factory".

I love the idea of this gun as I like 9mm and don't want to have yet another round with something like 44 or 357 which is part of hwy I don't have any revolvers currently. If they ever make a version that's closr to $1000-1500 I'd buy it tomorrow but at $3000 it's a hard pass.

I made that same joke with my friend. If this is the exact gun Jerry used I'd spend $3500 on it.

[GearFondler]

Imagine spending $3500 on a limited edition commemorative race gun that has that stupid fucking internal lock.

[nate89]

I really hope that Smith releases a plain all steel 8 shot 9mm sometime. I have the basic 627 with the 5" barrel and I would love to have a 9mm version for about the same price. I know I can get it cut for 9mm by TK custom (but that price can buy a lot of starline 38 short colt brass!), but having the option of getting one in 9mm from the factory seems like a smart model to release. Shame that they essentially only sell the long barreled version in 9mm (and now this limited edition one).

[Stephanie B]

that stupid fucking internal lock.

I think we could complain about that until the heat death of the Universe before they'd consider changing it.

[TheNewbie]

I initially thought it was in .327. lol Too much .32 talk around these parts.


Maybe one day they will drop the lock on all of their guns.

[M10]

I’m not certain but it looks like a short cylinder, i.e. cut to 9mm length, like the old .38 wad cutter only conversion.

[backtrail540]

I got a chance to handle one today. I don't like jm grips (already knew that going in) but the trigger was good, 327's handle nicely, and the compdot was huge! It's a nicer package in person and i actually want one now...If i ever come across one in the $2500 range (and while able to buy) i would swallow that price without much thought. I would still want an allchin, to get the dot lower and eliminate the stacked plate. But otherwise a cool package.
