I'm new to S & W, and after a lot of research both in and out of this Forum, I bought a 686-4 in excellent condition. The revolver performs flawlessly.
Who, with half a brain, would want a gun made of powder and glue.

One eye, thanks for your response.
Now I'm really turned off by S & W. Did you ever read any of this:
The Dark Side of Smith & Wesson
or:
Smith and Wesson Quality control - TheFiringLine Forums
It appears I'll be looking elsewhere.
