There's something to be said for the improved metallurgy of the newer M10's in my opinion. For a shooter, I think that something from the 60's or 70's would probably be more reliable, would still have the S&W quality of workmanship that we all love, and you would also have the benefit of being able to send it back to S&W if any work was required that exceeded your own capabilities. Although the long-throw hammer mechanism is considered by many to be superior to the post-war design, there really isn't much wrong with the post-war k-frame trigger (mim parts and hammer lock excepted, of course). -S2
