No! Here there is more appreciation for the 3rd model's S&Wish extractor rod shroud and modified S&W Target Stocks. Those features tend to offend Colt revolver collectors. I'm not sure about 2nd model sights but 3rd model sights are a lot easier to see than the 1st model's small U notch and round cornered front. The sights are bigger than comparable vintage S&W sights. That is good. So is blending a in a little bit of S&W looks. Here anyway.
