This video provides an in-depth look at an ultra-premium Smith & Wesson Model 3566 pistol, a custom-built firearm produced by the Performance Center. Originally commissioned for the company's shooting team for use in the 1994 USPSA Nationals, this specific pistol is configured for the Limited Division. It features a six-inch extended barrel, a brass barrel bushing ring, extended 20-round magazines, and a highly regarded single-action-only trigger. The description highlights the historical significance and custom gunsmithing involved in its creation, with links to related content and merchandise.
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.
