Here are some pics of my recently acquired SRS 22. With a 10" barrel it's the proverbial tack driver, and even better it likes cheap ammo .
I haven't shot a silhouette match yet but have been killing lots of steel chickens and pigs in practice.
The only thing I don't really like is the rubber grip - I find the finger grooves annoying. Any suggestions for alternatives would be welcomed.
Enjoy.

Nice gun. Pull the rubber grips off and put a set of target grips on. There are several options - target are readily available in the secondary market (gunbroker, ebay, etc.), Hogue makes custom exotic wood grips without finger grooves (Midway USA), or LB can make a custom set for you depending on backlog.

You can also go to Hogue's website http://www.getgrip.com and find a large variety of grips there that they will make for you. Be aware that hogue grips are expensive. Check the link to LB's site in the right hand column. I have a couple of his grips and I love them.
BTW, welcome to the DWF.

This SRS thing is starting to intrigue me.
The above is a 22.
Harly's got a 357SM.
SMF, what calibers are yours?
There's at least one 41 as mentioned above.
I found an old post, http://czechpistols82792.yuku.com/topic/998/SRS-1, on the cz forum that a 360 was made.
Were these third party customized guns? Or were they factory special issues? Are they all stainless? SA only? Thanks for any answers.

Thanks Jody, Thanks SMF,
I found one writer claiming 25 or so 414SM SRS' were made prior to the first bankruptcy. Production of these were resumed when production resumed.

He's obviously a better shot at 200 yards than I am at 25.
He also wrote about the 360 here http://www.lasc.us/RangingShotDanWesson360Revolver.htm
While not an SRS, he also wrote about the 32 Magnum, http://www.lasc.us/RangingShotDWLittlestMagnum.htm
There's an interesting story about Seth Wesson testing a 357 by replacing the barrel with a solid steel rod. The gun survived and functioned normally.
Jody said:
They were produced in house at DW. Based on what I have read they were only produced in Stainless and in the following calibers:
1) 22LR
2) 360DW
3) 41Mag
4) 44Mag
5) 357Max
6) 414SM
7) 445SM
Who knows if there's a one off out there somewhere...

I know of one. Seth Wesson built one revolver in 7-30 Waters, you should have seen the cylinder. I tried mightily to get him to sell it to me but no such luck.
