Well, it will be interesting to hear what you report, but as always... I'm horribly skeptical of the S&W "telephone slot machine" whereby you can get many different answers or experiences depending on who answers that ring.

I love 3rd Gens... but I can't think of many full production 3rd Gens that would be worth that money, time, etc -- but we all know that you lie awake at night about things like this.
