And this exchange illustrates perfectly the difference between die hard collecting and the shooter/collector/accumulator. Things that will make the die hard collector swoon and reach for the AmEx will make the latter yawn and search for a model that has more "desirable" features.
Such as P&R models. The new "holy grail" of Smith buyers.

So you contend that having a barrel pin and the charge holes a little deeper somehow makes the bazillions of 28-2's more attractive than the damn few -3's?
How does this make the gun a better "shooter"?
28-3's like 25-5's are one of the few examples in Smith collecting where a premium is likely for non P&R guns...
I stand by "Desirable". If for no other reason than the monetary value attached.
BTW, the "NEW grail" is non-IL locked guns. Before that was forged vs. MIM. Then wood vs. rubber stocks before that.
