I "like" the older guns ............ for their classic looks, style and yes reliability.

I like the "practicality" of some of the newer models..... stainless steel and G-10 especially....... as grips can be thinner.

I have an M&P-9 with a weapons light. Also have two M&P .22 Compacts and 15-22..... a fun guns for the whole family.

I've got a couple of Rugers...... a 77/357 Carbine in .357magnum and a Compact RAR in .22magnum........two guns that have great utility in Penn's Woods...... there is nothing similar in older guns.

I don't like the lock and internal firing pin in the newer Smith revolvers...... as both IMHO impact/alter the classic looks and lines of the Smith revolver.

Now for the best of both worlds ..... check out CZ's line of centerfire and rim-fire rifles!!!!! Especially their FS model with mannlicher stocks.
