When someone had the bright idea to put .38 Special into that beefier frame, the result was the .38\/44 Heavy Duty and the .38\/44 Outdoorsman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"h-see-also-smith-amp-wesson-model-1854-stealth-hunter-review\"><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/smith-wesson-model-1854-stealth-hunter-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-smith-wesson-model-20-is-back\" title=\"The Smith &amp; Wesson Model 20 Is Back!\">Smith &amp; Wesson Model 1854 Stealth Hunter Review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These guns were massively overbuilt for .38 Special, which let ammo developers push the cartridge harder and harder. That experimentation eventually birthed the .357 Magnum, which also launched on the same N-frame foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even after the .357 came along, plenty of cops stuck with the .38\/44 platform they trusted. When S&amp;W shifted to model numbers, the Heavy Duty became the Model 20, and production ran until 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, for almost 60 years, nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-faithful-revival-with-modern-capability\"><strong>A Faithful Revival with Modern Capability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Davidson\u2019s-exclusive Model 20 pulls heavily from both the Heavy Duty and Outdoorsman DNA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fixed \u201cgutter\u201d rear sight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Half-moon front sight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Target hammer with a wide thumbpiece<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Target-width trigger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Magnas-style stocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 6-inch barrel, giving it that Outdoorsman profile but Heavy-Duty attitude<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s finished in classic S&amp;W high-polish blue, fitted with rosewood grips, and topped off with a smooth trigger that feels straight out of a pre-war catalog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But here\u2019s the big twist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Model 20 is chambered in .357 Magnum, thanks to modern metallurgy and N-frame strength. It still shoots .38 Special all day long to stay true to its roots, but if you want full-snort .357 performance, it\u2019s built for that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-true-bridge-between-eras\"><strong>A True Bridge Between Eras<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of those rare reintroductions that actually <em>gets it right<\/em>. The new Model 20 looks, handles, and feels like a working gun from the pre-war and post-war eras. But with the performance floor of a modern .357 N-frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a nod to a time when cops carried big steel revolvers, ammo designers pushed boundaries, and S&amp;W was pioneering concepts that would influence handguns for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to check out this revival of a classic, Davidson\u2019s dealers have them, and Smith &amp; Wesson has the full story on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smith-wesson.com\/product\/model-20#performance\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-smith-wesson-model-20-is-back\" title=\"The Smith &amp; Wesson Model 20 Is Back!\">site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cool stuff, indeed.  <strong>MSRP:\u00a0$1549.00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" id=\"h-track-link-url-https-gunsamerica-com-campaign-buysellga-register-target-blank-buy-and-sell-on-gunsamerica-track-link\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Davidson\u2019s-exclusive Model 20 pulls heavily from both the Heavy Duty and Outdoorsman DNA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":115,"featured_media":226387,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[111,240],"tags":[601,132,617,331,60],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-226385","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-industry-news","8":"category-this-week","9":"tag-357-magnum","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-industry-news","12":"tag-revolver","13":"tag-smith-wesson"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Smith &amp; Wesson Model 20 Is Back!<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Smith &amp; Wesson\u2019s Model 20 returns with classic N-frame styling and modern .357 Magnum performance.
