This guy about fell in my lap a few weeks ago. Had a 1911A1 in a shop on consignment for fun with the owner. His helper comes in and drools over it and knows I like Smiths. Sends me a pic of this 44 DA and asks if i'd be interested at $1K trade towards my 1911. Hmmmmmm heck yes i'm in with that deal. Never even held one of these before. Thought they were fragile like Colt Thunderers but I was wrong. Kind of looks like my 629 MG but from 100+ years ago! Yup I like it.
Nice original nickel 4" that is as smooth and tight as the day it left S&W factory.
Happy Hunting...
