k22fan said:S&W did make one prototype .30 Carbine N frame during WW II. If I recall correctly it was to sell to the Chinese.
The S&W .30 Carbine revolver was made in an attempt to interest the US Army in such a revolver. Maybe at the Army's request. The revolver was essentially a M1917 modified to .30 Carbine. Went over like a lead balloon!
