I am really not up to speed on the newer ones. Comments that they are just not the precision of the older models.
The older ones coule be problematical. My brohter had one he sold as it did not work right (if I had only known, dang)
What made them good was they were hand fitted.
What can make thgat a problem is its done by hand.
That gets into a some and some thing. I had never heard of a bad one until he told me about his (sigh).
On the Average I would guess the new ones are decent as they are consistent.
But I don't think they had the quality or accuracy of the old ones.
Kind of a take and an opinion. No issues with mine at all.
Funny story how I got it as the counter guys snatched them when they came in, bought them and then sold them for big bucks. List was $168 as I remember. S&W made the stores sell them no higher than list.
They had a new guy at Pay n Pak (long gone) he put it out before the pro saw it had come in.
Said pro came out from back of the store while I had it in my hot hands and tried to convince me it was not for sale.
Really? Lets see, its on my side here, I have a check written out for it, you can try to take it away from me or you can accept you screwed up and a customer gets it. Make my day. One of the best dirty looks I ever got, didn't help I was laughing.
