Smith uses heavy barrels on just about everything and ditto for Ruger, our two major U.S. revolver producers.
I'm glad to see, for instance, that Smith still offers the tapered barrel on its "classic" Model 27. Such elegance.
And, yes, I prefer the looks of the Model 15 Combat Masterpiece to the Model 19 with its clunky tube. Smith has the audacity to call one of their current revolvers a Model 67 which it ain't with that thick snozzola sticking out from its frame.
And boy, do I prefer the old M&P/Model 10 standard barrel (nicknamed the pencil barrel) to that heavy Model 10 that came later.
Even the old Security Sixes had more elegance.
Just wish the revolvers makers had kept the faith while designing
Sponge Bob shaped auto pistols for the Sponge Bob age.
Alas, so sad.
