This video delves into the history of the Smith & Wesson Model 3566, a double-stack, single-action pistol designed for USPSA competition in the 1990s. The narrative focuses on its potential to dominate the new Limited division, offering 9x19mm capacity with Major caliber power. However, a swift USPSA rule change in February 1995, mandating a minimum bullet diameter of .40 inch for Major caliber, effectively killed the .356 TSW cartridge and the pistol's competitive future. The video questions whether S&W was unfairly targeted or attempting to exploit a loophole, ultimately leaving the .356 TSW cartridge as a promising but ultimately DOA cartridge.
