I also went to Smith's Armours School in the 80s at Springfield. I like S&W revolvers, but have narrowed my collecting to pre model numbering, all 5 screws. Even in the 80s Smith had improved their quality over some previous owners such as Bangor Punta. The new ones I've looked at are a step backward again in my opinion, may be just because I'm old. Older Smiths have a lot of hand fitting and that's what I like.
