les,

You're right. The only frame that hasn't been 'disfigured' is the N-Frame. I have the plug in my 629-5 and 627-5. Makes them look better.

I'm sure you know, but the old forged triggers will normally work with the MIM hammers. At least it looks the way it should...

I wonder how much of our Wish List that S&W follows. With the revolver coming back to an extent, maybe Tony Miele and his team will consider some classically-themed revolvers for us "Old Guys".
