The Inspector is right: to pick the most accurate of the Classics Smith would have to fire all of the production run for grouping then take the best. They sure didn't do that. They pulled guns, made sure they would shoot(never met a Classic which wouldn't!) and marked them DX. Add in the accessories and you're paying too much although the DX's are something of a status symbol in some circles. If you've got one you've got a great gun and if you've got a standard Classic(29 or 629) you've got a great gun not marked DX!
