Smith and Wesson Super 9
« on: May 11, 2015, 07:57:01 PM »
It is so quiet around here, I though some of you might find this interesting.  I have had it a couple of years, but decided to send off for a letter.  Smith cashed the check before Christmas and I just received the letter today.

Trying to get the letter a little clearer.

Not much interest, I suspected so on this board.  There were only 70 sold in this country.  The pistol is single action and designed to carry cocked and locked, strange for a Smith.

Although all but dead, the 356 TSW is a very interesting round.  Basically it is a 9X21.5 case which can be loaded with standard 9mm dies.

Rated at 50,000 psi (the 357 mag is 35,000 psi) it is quite an eye opener when the trigger is pulled.

Neat looking gun, I have never heard of one, thanks for sharing. To me it looks like a cross between a 1911 and a beretta 92. Let us know how it shoots......

To be honest, I think it is kinda ugly but it is a neat piece.  I have shot the 9mm and the 356 TSW barrels and it shoot quite well.  It has the Briley spherical barrel bushing like the Smith 952's which is a good way to go in my opinion.

I go to a lot of gun shows, and look at a lot of different guns. I have never seen this gun anywhere before. I think that it is a very nice looking gun. I also think that your Super 9 is better looking than the majority of the guns out there today. Have fun with it!
Having a gun in your hand is much more effective than having the entire police department on the phone!
