The problem with ALL of the books is the same. S&W will tell you that they don't have accurate numbers on models and production numbers. In the 1980s they were cranking out their "gun of the week" models so fast that Roy Jinks has stated they don't actually know how many 625-2s were built. I've seen numbers ranging from 200 to 5000 in various books. For collectors it can be a nightmare.
