Ditto! In the last 10 years bought two new 629's, two 500's, two 41's, one 329, two 617's, one 586, and just ordered a 317 Airlite.
Had zero issues with any of them and the actions and trigger pulls are better than any I owned back in the 70's.
Maybe S&W has lost their collector appeal but they sure have not lost the ability to make a quality accurate handgun. I am 59. All my guns go hunting or shooting and have zero value to me for being a collectable.
