Yeah, thanks but no thanks. Once was more than enough. We will just have to agree to disagree about the older guns being buggy trash and the newer guns (the Model 19 Classic in particular) being the problem-free cat's pajamas. My observations and experience tell me otherwise and the pretentious old dude's reasoning (i.e., cheaper/faster to build is better) tells me I'm probably on the right track. The old dude should have quit after the 2017 video, in which he admitted that he didn't own even one S&W revolver (he had to borrow one for the video).
His 2019 video also reminds me a lot of the "plastic is better" arguments we see... e.g., cheaper to build, cheaper to buy, can be put together by assemblers not gunsmiths, etc. No thanks. I'll stick with my vintage S&W revolvers and semi-autos. Others can buy the new stuff.
