I actually thought long and hard about including the venerable 640. It's definitely a direct descendant of the original Centennial.
But I wanted to keep the Thread specific to the Centennial and it's variants that incorporated the grip safety feature.
Heck, I'm having a tough time just keeping up with the history and all the changes that took place with the Model 40/42 before it was canned in 74.
