Gotta love the first of the third gens! I have no idea why but the first time I saw Sonny Crocket pull his out and point it at a bad guy I was hooked. I think it's the trigger guard that gets me going. Once Smith rounded it on the later versions they just seemed to lose something.
It did not come with the grips in the photos, it had the correct curved backstrap grips when I bought it. It also had Millett adjustable sights but I did not want them so it now has what it should have.
Novalty, you are forgiven for bringing back the dead. This gives me a chance to show my 4566TSW Kentucky State Police the was never issued or adopted by Kentucky. It is a decocker only.
