I am considering adding a S&W Model 24 to the pile, probably with a 6" bbl. I currently have a Model 28 and like the size/heft of the gun. Any inputs about the pros and cons of this model would be appreciated. I find that shooting the 44 Special cartridge is pleasant and would like a gun dedicated to that particular ammo. What say ye?

I say yes. Pleasant shooter making large holes. Mine is short.

I can't think of a single reason not to want that model 24. The 44 Special is light to shoot with a big enough bullet to get the job done quickly, and without waste.
Mine is a 4" madel

The Forty-Four Special get my nod of approval....

Mine is the stainless (624 ) version with a 4" barrel, but it is a great gun and you will enjoy a 24. Lots of loads to consider from mild to heavy. Noted for good accuracy as well.

I suggest buy it now! Then enjoy the heck of of it. I like "em"too. Have a couple of more not pictured including a nickel 6 1/2" 24. All I shoot is the std Skeeter load. my 250 gr cast SWC pushed by 7.5 grs. of Unique.

Can anyone tell me how much a mod 24 with the 6 1/" bbl weighs? I've seen weight ranges from about 40 oz up to around 50 oz. I have a Ruger Redhawk 4" that weighs in around 47 oz. A similar sized gun that weighs in a bit lighter, say maybe around 41 or 42 oz would be close to ideal.

I like me some 24

Mine al all "Pre's" and they're all 6 1/2".
But I love them anyway.

Hey 44,

How'd you get them all scratched up?

VERY. VERY SWEET!

There was a time I felt I needed a single action and a double action of each caliber . The 24 came first . I'm glad I added the USFA when I did . Couldn't afford to now .

 

[ladder13]

Got one of those USFA 44’s also.

 

[WendyZXZ]

I would also say get whatever you like and want and never look back!

I like this 24 so much . The fact that they made it a square butt makes it comfortable to shoot . The down side is they only made 250 each of the blue and the nickel . I have been sorely tempted every time I see a shiny one up for sale but they are going for almost twice what I paid for this one . I SWEAR THE NEXT TIME I DO ...
The fact that I have a perfect holster for it doesn't help . A Simply Rugged Tribute
