Looks pretty sweet. @Cerberus Group what are the chances of working up a load specifically for this one?

I just bought one of these. I haven't yet had the chance to shoot it but the trigger is very smooth. Im looking forward to a range session with it soon.

No Hillary hole either.

I suspect one of those is going to make it home soon.

Looking at High Desert Cartridge Co. they have various JHP and TMJ 9mm rounds already.

High Desert Cartridge Company – Quality. Integrity. Reliability.

I have ordered a few boxes of .45 ACP JHPs and it fires very well from my 1911 pistols.

I know what he has (I've ran plenty through my Glocks) but those loads were not developed for this type of firearm let alone this specific one. Steve has been working up loads with other industry professionals that are low in recoil and still meet FBI penetration criteria specially for short barreled revolvers intended for CCW.

It would be great if his current loads are dialed in for 2" snub revolver with this sight system but I doubt it as it would be a massive stroke of luck.

I would not have bothered making this thread nor be interested in this release if it had that "feature". After decades S&W is finally listening to its customers.

Ive never had one fail and lock the gun up but that would be crappy if it did. Hard to trust life with em. Its sad 1 of mine is a performance center the other is a mountain gun

The 66 I just got is a performance center. I don't like the lock but if I can delete it then that works for me. It's gunna be a carry gun anyway so it will get used. I just wanna remove the lock all together and plug it.

Yup I ordered the TKcustoms one. I need to order some ammo from @Cerberus Group and get a new set of grips for it.

I would try the 115gr JHP
I developed the load with Chuck Haggard especially for short barrel handguns, both semi and revolver.
It was calibrated in a 3.5" Glock, but performed just as well out of a 2.25" Ruger SP101

9MM – 115 gr JHP – 50 Rounds – High Desert Cartridge Company

That is good to know, I always used your 124gr: I typically stay away from the 115s across the board regardless of manufacturer, but I can see it out of the shorter tubes.

I have two guns with the internal lock. One has been removed, the other is next.
"I know a guy" in Washington who has helped me out with this. He also sells really good ammo.

What do you think this release will do for the value / price of the old 940?
