I think there is a generational shift of interest to newer Smith models, which certainly still include K and N frames. But I've noticed somewhat of a declining interest in pinned barrel models (pre 1982) and more interest in mid and later 1980s and 1990s models (that could also be price driven). There still seems to be animus against Metal Injection Molded parts guns and lock model guns, but that is changing too. All of this is good news for me, though, because the pinned barrel era defines my main collecting and shooting "patch."
