Interesting how in the 1984 Army pistol trials, Smith was eliminated for having a frame crack under 5,000 rounds. Other than the backstrap, 459 frame and 915 frame are probably what, like 99% the same? I wonder what changed in the intervening years. Maybe the difference between standard 9mm and +P? Just bad luck?
