I much prefer the older Smiths

[Adam Helmer]

Joe,

New handguns usually are not polished internally like they were in the old days. I went to S&W's Armorers School in the 1980s and we slicked up the inside of revolvers beginning with our own.

The new Smiths have safety locks and other gizmos that leave me cold. Like you, I prefer OLD Smiths. I am not sure what the pistolsmith was doing to NEW Smiths, and do not much care because they remind me of boat anchors. Be well.

Adam
