You can buy pre lock models for a lot less and they have the pre computer craftsmanship. I have 40+ year old S&W revolvers that will still out shoot anything made today. I prefer 6″ or longer barrels.

My dealer was finally able to get several of the Lipseys Smiths model 632 stainless .32 H&R Mag.
Mine lasted 66 rds before locking up, trigger wouldn’t return, cylinder locked up & that was after 5 lite Trimmer strikes. Returned it to Smith. They replaced the cylinder & crane. So far it’s ran 150 rds w/o issue.
Same dealer order a Smith 686 for a customer, right out of the box when dry firing, trigger would slowly return forward, that was sent back. Them sent him a new gun.
Smith has quality issues they need to address!

In reply to Shire-man. They changed Coke because Pepsi won blind taste tests. Coke wanted to win. When people knew it was Coke, they preferred Coke because Pepsi's marketing wasn't as good.

Medium frame revolvers with barrels between 4.25 and 5 inches in length sure look fantastic. The Model 19 Classic featured in this article is no exception.

In reply to tsbhoa.p.jr. I cannot sing the praises of the K frame enough. Straight out of the box bog standard K frames make for a tremendous range gun. They are more accurate than most shooters, myself included. And they can be useful in an emergency.

In reply to Shire-man. Tried to purchase a new 686, but wouldn’t take possession of it because it what a POS from the factory? Horrible finish rotten trigger. Disappointing to say the least, ended up getting an executive Taurus much nicer finish. Amazing trigger a couple hundred bucks less but much nicer and better built even nicer Taurus does not put a hammer lock on any of their revolver. First Taurus I’ve owned very impressed.

My original Model 10 is still a sweet shooting piece at the range and a nuclear bomb on small game.
