I was thinking if having it cut down to 5 1/5”, but this gun was sent out to be evaluated by some gun writer and then sent back to S&W. I bought it from my local dealer as a “factory gun”. When I contacted S&W they sent me a letter stating it was a test gun, but wouldn’t tell me by who, they also gave me the full lifetime warranty, so I just left it alone.Your barrel is longer, mine is shorter. story of my life, always shorter.![]()
