Here are some examples of the sloppy brushed finishes I have seen. Granted I have seen a few that don't look so bad, but compared to other firearm companies their brushed finish is just sloppy and unattractive. I am not some anti S&W guy, the only revolvers I have ever owned have been smiths. I just absolutely hate the cheap finishes they put on their revolvers.
