Heh! A pencil-barrel Model 10 handles like an Audi A6 for methe Model 10 is the mini-van or the four door sedan.
Sadly, Smith pulled the model from their regular lineup in 2009. To me, that marked the end of an era. It's been somewhat reintroduced as part of the overpriced "Classic" lineup, but it still bugs me.
I'd argue that it's one of the finest combat handguns ever produced.
