Here is my only (for now) Smith and Wesson semi-auto. My wife owns an M&P 9mm, and I wanted to have a S&W in the same caliber.
From what I understand, as part of the Advanced Improvement Program, this handgun was likely built in 1988, and the very beginning for the production run.
I haven't had a chance to get it to the range yet, but I functions very smoothly and I expect it to work great.
One question though. The last picture shows the base of the magazine. Is it normal to have only a metal bottom, or should there be a plastic cap?
