Hello
I see you got many different opinions of what was the best years of guns S&W Made. We all have our own area of collecting and mine changed a few years ago. I used to collect Model stamped revolver's... That was until I added a 1936 K-22 Outdoorsman and my 1935 Registered Magnum. Once I had these two gun's in my collection and had the time to look them over and shoot them, I was sold on S&W's made in the 1930's time span. To me, the Bluing was a Mile deep on these 1930's guns as well as the Fit & Finish. These gun's were made in the Original Plant in a Time span when Hurry was Not an option as they employed Old World Craftsman that had Pride in their work and it sure showed. These gun's were hand fitted from start to finish unlike later one's with retro fit parts these all were of their own Character.. I feel this time span of the 1930's was the Height of S&W quality and worker's Pride...
