Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall that during the testing of new handguns for the army back whenever that was, the ones that resulted in the Beretta being adopted, that a S&W revolver was included in the testing as a control handgun. I think it was a Model 27, of all things. I believe the revolver had no problems in the cold weather testing.
