I don't necessarily oppose the S&W "Classics" lineup on principle. I think that it makes sense for guns that are rare and really expensive (M24) or really hard to find in unmodified, un-refinished condition (M1917).

I do, however, question the value of reintroducing the Models 14, 17, 18, and 36. The original guns simply aren't that hard to find, even in mint condition.

At least the "Classic" M36 has a street price in line with a comparable M60.
