I have been away from my passion for guns for a few years while immersing myself in trying to learn how to play guitar. Now, my passion for guns has returned and in catching up on the gun scene, I read that S&W changed their locks to accomodate the buyers safety lock system. I have read a couple snarky comments concerning this new lock system and it concerns me as I want to get another Smith in the future.
What is the state of S&W pistols now? Are the new ones any good? Would you be better off getting an older one?
My first pistol was a Mod 19 bought in 72 and it was a sweet gun. I miss it bad. Word of advice boys...never loan a gun to your ex-wife..you might never see it again.
I see they are making alot of the old models again. I would love to pick up Mod 29 someday. Jeez do they cost alot now.
