S&W firing pins – hammer vs. frame mounted

[Bigun]

My 629-4 Pre lock and pre frame mounted firing pin is by far the most accurate revolver I have ever owned. Have not been impressed with any of S&W's revolvers as of late and have even seen 2 of the custom shop guns go back for defects or shoddy worksmanship.

Most that have owned older S&W wheel guns will agree: Past Manuf. USA tools/goods = Craftsmanship. Forgings, tool steel, blued right = BUILT To Last Not just your life but generations.

Older P&R generation S&W have tighter tolerances, gaps, and feel solid in every function. Machines have a hard time determining "Eye Right, Feels Right" = IS RIGHT, lost art to increase production & sign of the times.

Would I, Do I, Will I continue to purchase New Current Production S&W products = YES, without a doubt

so, . . . . . . If you come across something you want, I wouldnt out it off = get it sooner than later.
