With all respect to Roy, I do not use or like the term "Pre-Model". All S&Ws made before 1957 had a name, so I feel it is important to use what the company called the model until numbers were introduced. I agree that it is an easy thing to do, but when the revolver was made, it was called something, so why not leave it that way? Call me old fashioned, but I also still use the term "stocks", even though the company now uses "grips" in their published literature. What a travesty!
