S&W fans like the hammer fired revolvers, which were discontinued around 2000ish.
Perhaps not, but you're not there, you're in GENERAL HANDGUNS on TFL.Wouldn't have needed so much detail on smith site.

True enough but funny how the things that make it to what most people carry around really do resemble that Austrian fare .Not all striker fired pistols look like Austrian combat Tupperware.

By chance this occurred to me as I tried my new "Wunderhammer" this morning. The process can't be as slow as it feels. The thing shot well enough anyway, but it reminded me of a Ruger SBH with one leg of the hammer spring (or is it trigger spring ) removed. It's like you hear the hammer swooshing through the air. Small complaint though.

more noise and resonance giving the impression of a slow motion auto wreck.
tallball And just to show how much it matters...
My Ruger SBH is my most accurate centerfire handgun.
