The rest as they say is history

Solid and informative post. I love round but "N" frames and have (3) of them... well, (2) actually since my little brother has spoken for the M629-6 to buy. I love the fact that Jovino and other talented smith had Smith and Wesson product the Round Butts. RB's are all that I have in revolvers!
