I was given one of those. They were made in the time Smith was owned by some crap company, I think. It was pretty, but a real pos to shoot. The front latch wasn't close. The cylinder chambers were something like .461. The hammer rubbed the frame badly. But the worst what I think was the front of the cylinder was not square. It hit the forcing come on two of the chambers. So you could only fire it double action on half of the chambers. It had sentimental value to me, so I sent it back and told them I would pay whatever it cost to fix. They told me that since it was a special model, they could not work on it. I haven't given them a dime since, and got rid of the pos.
A couple of years later, I saw another one at Reeves Jungkind's. He said the one he bought was terrible, too. But he sent his in, and they fixed it as warranty! And it was perfect when he got it back.
Guess my money wasn't worth as much as his name.
