Dragline45:

I find the polished stainless guns impractical: there's to much glare when shooting in the sun shine. I agree that they they are attractive; however, the brushed finishes are superior in the hunting fields. As for smith & Wesson producing inferior guns is a fallacy: Smith sets the stndard for the revolver industry. I agree that Smith's blue finished revolvers are not as rich as they were fifty years ago, but they are still attractive. Look at a blue DX model. I read a lot of unwarranted Smith bashing on The Firing Line but each is entitled to his opinion. To each his own said the old lady when she kissed the cow.

Semper Fi.
