My first, and so far only Smith is my 5" Model 60. It has the IL; I didn't know any better at the time, and it still doesn't bother me, but it led me to this forum, which I have found enormously educational as well as entertaining.

This forum has given me an appreciation for the older Smiths, but more importantly, buying the new Smith a a couple of years ago revived my interest in shooting and gun ownership in general. I have bought other guns since, and I will probably buy another SW. Because of this forum, that purchase will be better-informed than the last one.
