Nice work everyone who was involved. You could probably get to this on your own with about $1,500 worth of gunsmithing and a couple of years worth of fiddle-fucking around.
The new guns are a five-shot 642 and 442 in 38 Special and six-shot 632 and 423 in 32 H&R Magnum
Ammo by Lost River!
No lock
Sights: large Novak-style rear, pinned-in XS Big Dot Tritium front sight
Sights regulated for 135 Speer Gold Dot JHPs and 148-grain wadcutters
Slightly oversized VZ grips, covered high-horn backstrap, relieved for speedloaders
Lighter trigger pull
Endurance package
Chamfered charge holes
Cylinder beveled
I’m in for at least one of the 38s.

I’m in for a 442 UC.
Unless all the P-F hipsters manage to convince me to go 432 between now and wider gun shipping/availability.
Anyone remember this thread?

I went from "Whip-de-doo, basil" until i saw a 6 shot 32, now I'm like "Shagadelic, baby! Yeah!". I was planning on a k6xs but now i am thinking I'll try this in 32.

Going off the video it sounds pretty impressive. Seems like they thought of every detail that could go into optimizing a J-frame, without requiring a fundamental redesign or re-tooling. Its really cool they brought some SME's I know from PF to help in the execution.
I generally hate a front sight without a rectangular top edge but I guess that makes sense for J-frame shooting distances. In any case having a replaceable front sight is huge.
Very skeptical on the claim that they greatly improved the trigger pull by making some minor adjustments to how the parts are made. If it was that easy, why wait until now to do that? The LCR has been making S&W look like a joke in that department for well over a decade now.
.32mag?? In conjunction with @Lost River??
