In the last year or two, I've added a Mdl 60 and a Mdl 640, both of which are perfect. The Mdl 432 I bought recently has a shrouded barrel, which looks pretty good and as mentioned is built in such a way as to avoid the canted barrel problem.

I'd be very interested in someone assessing the strength, durability, and accuracy of the shrouded barrel setup versus the traditional one-piece barrel, which might be a suitable topic for another thread [I don't want to hijack or divert this thread]. When I first saw the 619 and 620, I was pretty sure I didn't like them, but I have to admit the new Model 66 is appealing. Is there a significant disadvantage to the shrouded barrel? It appears there is at least one big advantage, both for S&W and the customer, as this thread indicates.
