New one at FFL

[DRAM40A1]

I ordered an S&W 396 Night Guard about a week ago and got this photo from my FFL. Can’t wait to get my hands on this thing. 23 ounce L frame 44 Special.

Very handsome revolver. I have several older Smith’s and they are all a pleasure.

Love it. And no stinking lock. Might have to get one! Thanks for posting.

See how long it takes for you to tame it. Please, let us know what you think of the action da/sa.

I tamed it with 6.5 grains of Power Pistol and a 240 XTP. Started at 6.0, then 6.5, 7.0. 7 grains started getting slightly unpleasant so I backed back down to 6.5.
I just wanted something to shoot today. I have 200 grain XTPs and Speer God Dot HP coming on Monday and I’ll start actual load work.
The SA and DA trigger pulls feel good enough that I don’t feel it’s necessary to monkey with it.
