Default Smith & Wesson 1st-3rd gen models explained in a simple chart

Not sure if this is listed here on the site, but this is a very cool looking and easy to understand reference for the layman that I found online...

Now they just need to add the description of the forth digit being 0 (zero) to the chart.

1. Makes me want to collect the whole set!

2. Needs to have annotations to the features that changed.
. e.g. When did the barrel bushing for a model change to a barrel swell.

Good. Now we all know what kind of firearm we own. No more threads asking what kind of gun we just bought.
