I just read about a S&W Model 25 and realized that they used to make a gun called a "1955 Target," IIRC. Similarly, they made a "44 Magnum," which we always referred to as Model 29. Same thing with .357 Combat Magnum, IIRC we called Model 19 - but all of the guns had a NAME at that time.
What I want to know is what date did S&W do away with the NAMES and substitute the NUMBERS? (A stupid thing to do, imho).
Thanks for your input in advance.
