I’m not opposed to buying one and in fact, wil be putting quite a bit of thought in to it. But folks have got to do a deeper dive in to what it means to claim of higher quality. Just adding more superlatives is not really justifying what appears to be an all machined version of a 686. If you’re going to claim such superior quality then we (ok I) need alloy and heat treat differences, dimensional tolerances on individual features and limits of fit, dimensional comparisons on parts that we attribute to durability such as locking bolts, hands, cylinder walls, chamber uniformity, bolt-to-window clearance. Bore scope the barrel and show us the finish here and at the forcing cone. And lastly if I’m not the only Bullseye shooter out there, a fifty yard Ransom Rest group test with multiple handloads and factory loads. This just scratches the surface of what I feel it means to include the detail behind the oversimplified claims of superior quality. The few details mentioned above can all be addressed by a good pistolsmith, on an S&W to ring out the performance apparently available with an OTS Spohr, but we can get there with a whole lot less cash. Details please.
Informative and great video. I'm actually looking at 357s to buy. I know it's expensive, but it's not that much more expensive from a performance center Smith or a Colt Python. I think I'm leaning toward this. Just got to find where to buy one from
In this video, are you using .38 special rounds or .357 magnum? I ask, because the amounts of both recoil and flash would suggest that .38 special rounds are being used. If it is .357 mag, please reply back with the specifics (brand, grain, etc.).
There's a heathy dose of both. We'd have to go shot for shot to determine which is being used. There were only two brands on this shoot. Speer Lawman 158g FMJ 38 spl and Federal American Eagle 158g JSP 357 mag.
@@unclehangfire For some reason I cannot explain, my 4.0 L562 STD Spohr does not like 158g FMJ .357 mag from Ammo Inc. - within 250 rounds, the cylinder locked up twice, because the forcing cone area had splinters of the jacket essentially cold-welded on to the surface (i.e., in the cylinder gap). Spohr USA (repair shop in PA) theorized the Ammo Inc rounds could be loaded a bit too hot. I don't have the expertise to say.
They claim it's was new. I emailed Spohr with pictures. They said oh I'm sorry you're not 100% happy. Yes, rust shouldn't be there. But you can polish the rust off. I ask you this. When you buy a brand new $4000 gun do you expect to scrub metal pitting rust off it?

Great review Mitch. Now I have to buy another wheel gun.
If I thought you'd regret it I'd say so.
Really appreciate your content, great video 👍
Wayy too positive for youtube. These comment sections are only for being mean or dumb.
Oh snap! You is back! #CWC🍗

Who else would like to see an 8 shot 357 from Spohr?
Did you have same problem?
Korth is better trust me! And nighthawk warranties the guns for life
Nice revolver, a bit of fluff, though
@@jamestorregrossa1185 I’m losing weight bro. Going to the gym and eating way better. Geeez youtube comments are rough.
@@unclehangfire lol
Buyer beware!! The US Sphor distributor sent me a new Spohr revolver with rust. Dishonest business practice
Where is the "dishonestly"? Did they deny it's condition on delivery?
