The family and I were just up there about 7 or 8 summers ago vacationing and visiting extended family in the Fairbanks, Delta Junction, and Denali areas. (I highly recommend a hike in Denali.)

We really enjoyed our time up there and I keep thinking we'll get back up that way some time again.

Over the years I would say I have had at least 5 other all original post-WWII M&P and pre-Model 10 examples. I am currently down to just the factory nickel 10-6 with regards to post-WWII M&P/pre-Model 10/Model 10 examples.

Looking back on it my biggest regret is deciding to part with the nice 4" S-prefix M&P as it would have displayed rather well with my 4" Victory examples. The 5" examples didn't bother me as much to gift or sell but I'll probably end up with a few more pre-WWII and post-WWII SV and S prefix 4" M&P examples before it is all over with.

I feel your pain with regards to the safes and I am yet again in need of attempting to better organize for more convenient handgun storage.........or get yet another safe!
