The Smith & Wesson Model 624 is one of the finest modern revolvers ever chambered for the legendary .44 Special cartridge. Built on the proven N-frame and manufactured for only a relatively short period during the mid-1980s, the Model 624 combined Smith & Wesson's world-class target revolver craftsmanship with one of the most respected big-bore cartridges ever developed. Today it enjoys a loyal following among revolver enthusiasts who appreciate smooth shooting characteristics, outstanding accuracy, and the classic elegance of a large-frame Smith built before the era of internal locks and modern manufacturing changes.
This example features the highly desirable 6½-inch target barrel, providing exceptional balance and outstanding sight radius for precision shooting. The additional barrel length maximizes the inherent accuracy of the .44 Special cartridge while giving the revolver a graceful profile that has become synonymous with Smith & Wesson's classic target revolvers. Whether used from the bench, on the range, or in the field, the Model 624 is capable of remarkable practical accuracy in the hands of an experienced shooter.
The robust stainless steel N-frame offers excellent durability while helping absorb recoil, making even heavier .44 Special loads exceptionally comfortable to shoot. Combined with Smith & Wesson's famous double-action trigger pull and crisp single-action break, the Model 624 delivers a shooting experience that many enthusiasts consider the benchmark for production double-action revolvers. The wide target trigger and checkered target hammer further enhance control during deliberate precision shooting.
One of the greatest strengths of the .44 Special is its unique combination of authority and shootability. Long appreciated by legendary handloaders and revolver experts such as Elmer Keith and Skeeter Skelton, the cartridge offers excellent terminal performance without the blast and recoil commonly associated with the .44 Magnum. Factory ammunition remains pleasant to shoot while quality defensive and field loads provide impressive performance for hunting, trail use, and personal defense against medium-sized game.
Collectors actively pursue the Model 624 because of its relatively limited production and its status as one of the few modern stainless steel revolvers chambered exclusively in .44 Special. Unlike the far more common .44 Magnum models, the 624 occupies a unique place in Smith & Wesson history and continues to gain appreciation among knowledgeable collectors who recognize its scarcity and classic configuration.
The square butt N-frame provides excellent purchase and naturally distributes recoil into the shooter's hand, making the revolver exceptionally comfortable during extended range sessions. The factory checkered walnut target stocks complement the stainless finish beautifully while providing the traditional appearance that collectors expect from premium Smith & Wesson revolvers of this era. Every aspect of the revolver reflects the meticulous machining and hand fitting that defined the company's golden years.
Mechanically, the Model 624 represents the culmination of decades of Smith & Wesson revolver development. Forged internal components, precise cylinder timing, outstanding lockup, and a smooth action make these revolvers prized not only for collecting but for regular use. Many enthusiasts regard this generation of N-frame revolvers as among the finest double-action handguns ever produced by the factory.
Whether destined for a serious revolver collection or the range, the Model 624 offers something increasingly difficult to find in today's market: a beautifully crafted American revolver chambered for a classic cartridge with timeless appeal. Its combination of limited production, premium construction, exceptional shooting characteristics, and growing collector interest make this an outstanding opportunity to own one of Smith & Wesson's most desirable modern N-frame revolvers.
