LIPSEY’S RELEASES SMITH & WESSON “ULTIMATE CARRY”

One nice looking S&W J-Frame from Lipsey’s, like the black nitride finish

Lipsey’s Releases Smith & Wesson “Ultra Carry”

Cloessner has the mindset and influence of having factory guns tweaked by manufacturers. This is where the famed Lipsey’s Exclusives comes from. He admits to pounding his head against the wall a few times, but if the right people listen, great things happen.

I'd like to try the 6 shot .32 Mag. pistol.

 

[Sld1959]

I like that a lot.

I read this story else where and my first thought was , " Here is something I might give up my 642 PC for. " I love those sights.

 

[Shibadog]

Yup. I could be tempted…. There are a lot of folks who still carry a J frame in a pocket-they just “work” . In decent holster an airweight’ll disappear. 5 for sure (6 with the .32 )

 

[Snake45]

I love those sights.

Me too. I designed something very, VERY similar in my head about a year ago. Would LOVE to have them on a 3" Colt D-frame.

6 shot 32 mag would be nice!

Not a bad looking S&W but I don't care for the sheathed barrel design. 16 oz and no internal lock will make it a popular option.

It resembles my 2" Kimber K6S Deep Cover (aka DC), which came with night sights, all SS with DLC coating, chambered for 6 rounds of 38/357 but weighs 23 oz.

Thought I recognized the name Eastridge, from Oklahoma (OKCPD)

 

[Skunkhouse]

I could see it working well ,especially for summer

It annoys me when I buy a gun and then something fun comes out within a few days. It's almost a rule........

That's just the natural cussedness of the universe. Couple years ago I spend a buttload of money and effort buying and restoring several original 1965-66 AMT Mustang fastback models, which hadn't been available since 1966 (and the molds had been altered, so the kit could never be reissued). Last year Round 2, which owns all the original AMT molds and the rights to them, brought out a brand new "re-engineered" issue of that very kit; now anyone can go to Hobby Lobby and buy a BETTER model for less than I paid for any of my restorable "glue bombs." Ah shucks oh well.

 

[deadduck357]

Been drooling over these and the Diamondback SDR.

 

[UC_Guy 1971]

My .02¢, which based off of inflation, so it's not worth even that. Unless it is available in .357 mag. I'm not interested. Not that I would run a lot of magnum rounds through it but I don't foresee ever buying "just" a .38.

 

[Grayfox]

I already have a 642 that I'm quite happy with. I see no need to change.

I'm in same boat. Already have a 442. Do I really need two? Maybe. Like the sights and the full shroud but.

Your Kimber, nice revolver that it is, is noticeably larger and heavier. This may, or may not be a factor in determining pocket carry viability for some.

I told my dealer to order me one in .32.

 

[az4783054]

I never inferred it to be a pocket gun. I simply compared the similarities in appearance and how it came from the factory to the S&W. And it is heavier, no argument, but it handles 357magnum well with the weight difference. Some people would prefer the .38/.357 capability as I do.

But thanks for pointing out the obvious...
