'97 model with a new 7" barrel assembly from Smith, got it used for an excellent deal and I've been shooting it with no feeding issues whatsoever (to date, knock wood). I started with HV ammo and just started feeding CCI SV's and it's great, and talk about accurate and unreal trigger pull!
I just added the Hogue grips, the next shot is of it running HV ammo and me trying to get used to red dot's with both eyes opened again, ugh!
