    Looks like its only 2 3/4 chamber. I had one of the original Judges in that chamber and can say that I really like my 3" Judge chamber much better.


    Maybe I missed the price tag on the S&W but I wonder if it will be comparable with the Judge.

    No, the description says 2 3/4" BARREL. The cylinder is 2 1/2" The way they throw around the numbers will confuse you unless you pay attention. The Judge comes in 2 1/2 and 3" cylinders and SEVERAL different barrel lengths. This S&W looks like it will be released with a 2 1/2" cylinder and a 2 3/4" barrel. Remember .410 gauge shells come in 2 1/2" and 3" unlike other gauges that come in 2 3/4

    The thing that I really like about this S&W is its ability to also shoot .45ACP MUCH easier and cheaper to find a chunk of lead in .45ACP to shoot than .45 colt

    NICHT SO GUT!

    I like the idea of the ACP and Colt round option along with a 6th round, but still not added it to my "to buy" list

    I guess that leaves Hi-Point to make "The Obama"?
