I thought this was a praise of new IL, MIM 2-peice barrel S&Ws. Maybe some have missed the OPs request here?

Sadly, S&W dropped it from the list last year, but in early 2011 I bought a 619. I had always wanted a M65, and this seemed like the L-frame version of it, and I was right. It is an outstanding revolver, my first IL, MIM, 2-peice barrel. After I bought it, I looked at all the negative comments about these modern revolvers and I'm still puzzled by it all. This is one of, if not the best, most accurate, well balanced, smoothest actioned (to include DA) revolvers I have ever owned. If S&W made a non IL/MIM/2-Piece barreled version of it, I'd still keep this one. Maybe I just got a special one, I don't know. I just know it makes me laugh at the detractors of the new S&Ws. It eats up full house .357 loads easily and accurately. Too bad S&W dropped this and the 620 from the lineup, but glad I got one when I did.
