I cannot offer insight as to what the accuracy job was, but while at the Club 1852 event at S&W factory a few years back I took the gun cleaning and care class in which the instructor, big fella whose name I do not recall, suggested buying the Classic. He said the difference between the Classic and the DX was the DX printed within the inch and a gun that shot a hair outside that inch it was a Classic. I bought a classic.
