"The idea of a lost Golden Age of S&W quality is the Atlantis Myth of the gunternet". (TAMARA)

I agree. The S&W revolvers made today are far stronger and more durable than anytime in history. Is the bluing not quite as nice as the old guns? Yes. Is the lock an obnoxious eyesore? Yes. But today's S&W revolvers are still fine looking guns and extremely strong. I'll guarantee my 29-10 .44 will oushoot any old vintage model 29 S&W, and last indefinitely longer.

My new Colt SAA .45 LC is amazing.

Budget guns, if you buy one, roll the dice and hope it isn't "sloppy". Buy quality, pay a premium and be satisfied. If not, send it back. The bigger companies will make it right.
