Coments on S&W bringing back the Classics.

To me a "classic" would indicate an exact re-creation/reproduction of something long out of production. Something like the Registered Magnum or the Model of 1950 target revolver or even the New Century. Nah, I've come to the sad conclusion that anything S&W invests with the "Classic" label is just a marketing ploy. MIM parts, internal lock, no pinned barrel or recessed chambers. Same old shit, different name, higher price. I think I'll pass on the "Classics."

Just because the New Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro look like classics, don't make it so.
Same with S&W's so called classics. Sure I carry a .45, a .50 is just a little too large. |

When I saw the lock, I was disgusted.

That's pretty well calling it like it is. I agree! |

Classic wannabees maybe. I can still find nice examples of the real deal out there. No need to pay top dollar, for a poor imitation. Regards 18DAI.
Model 19 Combat Magnum. Everything you need in a revolver, and nothing you don't. |

For the price of the new "classics", you can get a nice example of the real deal. Well, maybe not the Registered.

Cherokee was spot on. If they are not going to make it like they did then...then it ain't a classic. 'nough said!

No thanks. I'll stick with the real deal.

Looks like S&W would finally get the message. They got rid of items like pinned barrels and recessed cylinders as a cost saving measure and we the customer are not looking for cut rate guns.
 For crying out loud build them like we want the damn things and charge what you have to have in order to make money. If I was looking for a bargain basement gun I'd buy a Ruger for God's sake. Smitty |
