Just picked up my newest addition to my collection, a S&W "classic collection" 40-1 in Blue.
I love that its a new production centennial.
I love the metal to metal fit and deep blue finish.
I'm not so sure about that grip...this is my first j-frame and me and that grip are not getting along. With that grip safety I am having to squeeze my lemon squeezer more than I would like to, and am not always releasing the safety on every squeeze, especially on my off hand.
And sometimes I'm getting a little trigger finger pinch on the trigger/trigger guard.
I am going to order up a tyler-T grip adapter to see if a little more grip is enough to fix things, They seem to be on all the 40's I 've seen pics of. If that doesn't help I'll see if I can find a reasonable gunsmith to put in a retro pin to lock down the safety, from what I understand that is how it used to be.
But those are all Me issues, the gun is great, just the size and quality I wanted in a true pocket revolver.
Here are some pics my dealer took before He shipped it:
Enjoy,
