Jim & Steve,
Oh yeah, I'm familiar with the term "automatic" as applied to these old guns.
That's why we have the term "Hand Ejector" to describe swing-cylinder Smith & Wessons.
I have no intention of shooting these guns, although my uncle apparently has a bunch of ammo that my Grandfather had with them. I'll probably put them in a shadow box.
Nothing special, except that they were my Grandfathers.

Smith & Wesson is dead to me.
If you want a Smith & Wesson, buy USED!
