best years
I have owned and shot many smiths thru the years. Most were N frames with a few 19s thrown in. All these came from different years. As for fit and bluing, for the ones I had, it was outstanding from the "S" frame period. Mechanics is a different thing. Seems like there was a variance in them.
There were a few 4" 624 that came out at the last run that left a lot to be desired in the index department. One 1950 44 Target was never timed like I like them, even after sending it to the factory.
I do think that Smiths are the best revolvers though, that is my personal opinion. Bob
