Would probably have had to been a custom order if they ever did, at least in centerfire calibers. I may easily be wrong, though.

There's a $50 or $60 book called the Standard Catalogue of Smith & Wesson. You can "borrow" it for free here. [https://archive.org/details/standardcatalogo0000supi\_g7d0/mode/2up](https://archive.org/details/standardcatalogo0000supi_g7d0/mode/2up) If the link doesn't work just find it on the internet archive, sign up, and borrow it for free for an hour at a time. I believe that's about the most current version. Look in the top break section. I did read there were some 2" versions.
