Owners of the Model 20 appreciate the classic blued finish paired with rosewood grips, which give it a traditional revolver aesthetic. The 6-inch barrel provides a longer sight radius and makes it a comfortable shooter with .357 Magnum loads.

The trigger is a strong point for most owners, with the double-action pull described as smooth for a production revolver. Some prefer to use it in single-action mode for precision shooting, where the pull is notably lighter. A few owners note the finish requires more care than modern matte or stainless options to prevent surface rust.

Value perception is generally positive for those wanting a classic large-frame .357 revolver, though some compare it to older S&W models and find the new production slightly less refined in feel. Parts and service are widely available through the S&W network.
