Although I'm not a S&W collector in the purest sense, I found the article delightful. It brings to mind that period when revolvers were esteemed, to include use in formal competition.

My love with Smith & Wesson began as 17 year old with bullseye shooting and a 6 inch K-38 revolver. Although there have been many years and many guns since, the love of the S&W target revolver has never left me.

I purchased a Model 25 some years ago but have not had time to work with it. I look forward to retirement and the opportunity to get to know it better.
