I hardly see the third generation Smiths discussed anymore. Have people decided that I was right all along and they are clunky, awkward, not-fun (albeit relatively reliable and accurate) firearms??
Now, in case some of my friends at Smith see one of those banners and pop on in here, let me say that I do LOVE the S&W Model 41. I use them in competition and they are great little .22s. I still enjoy my M29 and the M19 is my favorite of the plethora of .357 magnum snubbies out there. Of course, the wife still carries her 642. Smiths are Great...except for those 3rd Gen things...
We have one in the house, a true Performance Center Shorty Forty MkIIIs (ser#PCW00089). these are the guns that the new 4013TSW's are based on. It is a good shooter, but I still don't find it incredibly ergonomic and I hate magazine safeties!
What do you guys think?
