Is it just me or are most new revolvers, esp. S&W, just plain ugly? With their locking devices, slab side barrels, barrel shrouds, stupid hi-vis sights, rubberistic grips, two tone finishes, and scandalous finishes. I buy a revolver mainly if it looks good(quality also is a must), but thank God I bought most of mine back in the 70's when they were beautiful to look at. Nothing is more appealing than my nickled 4 " Model 15 or my blue Colt Detective Special, 8 3/8" Model 29, and Python. Ahh, those were the days. Look at some of the S&W products and well, you get the picture, IMHO. Yes, I'm venting.
