Most recent S&W is a 459 with the "short, fat" extractor. I bought it because I got a fully-functional DA/SA pistol in great condition made in the USA for $353, including tax. I collect the "wonder nines" that were all the rage when I came of age. This old came with the magazine with the flat metal floor plate.
The most recent purchase is a Ruger Standard that Clark Custom modified with a bull barrel and a BoMar sight rib back when they were in Keithville, LA. Why? Because I love rimfire guns that exhibit great American craftsmanship, and the very first firearm I shot back in 1973 was a Ruger Standard.
