I have a nice T-series (as in never been fired nice) and they sure are pretty. Pretty to look at, not so pretty to use. The safety, quite honestly, sucks. And the sights aren't even that good. That tiny notch in that tiny little rear sight is so narrow that it is completely filled with the tiny front sight post when the gun is held out at arm's length...giving you no sight picture at all. As an exquisite example of fine hand fitting and beautiful polishing and blueing, the T-series guns are in a class of their own. But they would make a lousy carry gun.
